In the end I can only suggest this - go in with low expectations, expect a little over the top patriotism like in "Act of Valor" ( but not so heavy), and don't think about it. Super realistic battle graphics like in real war, exquisitely crafted with attention to the smallest details for wwi and ww2 games genre. I think it is a guilty pleasure, something to be enjoyed by the few but annoyed by the rest. So in conclusion, "Battleship" is a fun, corny, typical summer movie that I like but as you see a lot of people didn't. lost in translation? - you try to make a game into a movie and you want to put parts of them game in it? Not easy, a little cheesy? Of course, but fun? Yes, fun, enjoyable, and in the end it was a part of the story that wasn't as forced as it could have been. She was there, she didn't try to chew the scenery, she did her job as an actor/secondary character and it didn't bother me. The actors did a good job with what they were given - Taylor Kitsch did a good job, Rihanna wasn't that bad, I dare say good, in her role. I came in with low expectations - I was expecting something horrible, boring, long and pointless, but despite myself I liked it, I laughed at the jokes, I connected with the actors (yes, Rihanna too), I was excited by the action and while clichés the plot held my interest 2. As you can see from the other reviews a lot of people didn't like this movie, so why did I? 1. Heaven help me! I liked this movie, now I am going to be one of the few who did.
