If ever a movie had 'Paid for by the U.S. Navy' written all over it... 'Battleship' is tailored kitsch -- tailored to recruit male teens. Taylor Kitsch does a surprisingly good job of this.

Long, loud and pedestrian, this drama only gets exciting in its closing minutes.

If the movie is anything like the game, I say stay at home and read a good book (or graphic novel). Or listen to an audiobook - In short, do anything else.

It's just like the board game, assuming the board game cost $200 million and was dumb.

One can be sure that heroic characters get what they want, bond with enemies, and earn respect.

Battleship is substantially less awful than it could have been. And for me, that may have been the biggest disappointment of all.

"Battleship" doesn't sink, really. It just sits there booming endlessly as you look on aghast.

We should celebrate the explicit nature, the unabashed and unapologetic chutzpah of a film that dares to be stupid, yet does so with so much intelligence.

Once the special effects take over, Berg has little room to assert his personality (or tell a story, for that matter), and the movie feels like a chore.

An assault on reason, logic and complex characterisation, but in an enjoyable way, like a slightly less camp dramatisation of the Village People's finest ship-based sing-song.
