Battleship Ratings & Reviews
- JeremeyApril 29, 2025Was just starting my morning rounds aboard the USS Missouri — wiping down plaques, fixing coffee no one drinks, maybe grumbling about my knees — when these young hotshot sailors come barreling in yelling about aliens and needing firepower. I figured they were filming another Transformers flick. Turns out, nope — we were actually about to go full red-alert on a bunch of water-hopping space crabs. Next thing I know, I’m flanking a 16-inch naval gun with a kid who barely knows how to salute, shouting firing coordinates like it’s 1945 again. And let me tell you — it felt good. Like riding a bike. A bike that launches tungsten shells the size of Buicks. Plot? Don't know. Didn’t care. I was too busy reclaiming my arthritis-ridden glory while AC/DC played in the background. We dropped those alien ships like bad habits. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Would I trust these wippersnappers to run a mop, let alone a destroyer? Hell no. But give ‘em credit — they let us old dogs have one more good fight. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — best retirement party ever.
- CallumDecember 29, 2025⭐⭐½ – Battleship – Loud, dumb, and fully committed to the bit. This is totally dumb — but dumb in a way that knows exactly what it’s doing. The action is loud, ridiculous, and energetic enough to keep you entertained even though the story and characters barely register once the credits roll. It’s prime mindless movie-night material. If you think Rihanna makes a convincing battleship captain… well, that’s on you. But it’s also not a reason to instantly write the film off like so many did. Yes, it’s barely like the board game we all know — except for about five to ten minutes where they very literally recreate it — but honestly, how on earth were they supposed to make a faithful adaptation of that? Given the source material, they didn’t do terribly. The unintentionally funniest part is the retired sailors sequence. They’re suddenly everywhere, already stationed on the ship, hands on the big guns, ready to roll like they never left. Don’t get me wrong — plenty of old timers I know would absolutely volunteer tomorrow — but the idea that an old battleship, half-crewed by people older than my father, would meaningfully hold its own against an interstellar enemy is… optimistic, at best. Still, that’s missing the point. This isn’t Tennyson or Shakespeare. It’s not even pretending to be clever. It’s about big guns, big noise, and spectacle turned up high enough that you stop caring about the logic. Meet it on its level, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. 🚢🍺 An ice-cold lager cracked open mid-explosion — loud, silly, and surprisingly enjoyable if you stop asking questions.
- ርልዪረFebruary 7, 2025🛥I so enjoyed this film. For anyone who likes a good action movie with excellent special effects and a few aliens with very cool ( and aggressive) ships then I’d definitely recommend this. It starts off a little slow but stick with it because the characters build and the story moves along quickly once the aliens arrive. It’s not overly graphic, not much bad language and it was a very enjoyable watch. I’d definitely watch it again.
