Currently sitting at 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's earned $200 million overseas so far. Is anyone planning to watch it this weekend?

This weekend, definitely not. When I can get it through Redbox for $1, sure.

Saw it this past weekend. It was abysmal and I honestly considered walking out at the 20 minute mark. If I actually paid to see this I'd be quite upset.

I have to be honest... with these last few trailers that I've seen, I'm intrigued.

But we all know what curiosity did to the cat...

Personally, I'd rather watch, and subsequently laugh at, the knock-off starring Mario Van Peebles and Carl Weathers than Universal's piece of shit.

Mario Van Peebles and Carl Weathers? This may be the first time I actually want to see an Asylum movie.

I guarantee this interview with Peter Berg is more entertaining than anything in Battleship.

Is it better than stuff like Battle: L.A., Cowboys & Aliens, The Day the Earth Stood Still?

Its along the same lines I'd say. Imagine Battle LA with better visual effects but much worse dialogue & acting and an atrocious third act.

No, that's saved for Samuel L Jackson's surprise cameo.

No, no, no, no, no, no... there is no f'ing possible way for ANY movie to have worse dialogue and acting than Battle LA. I cannot fathom a world in which that is possible AND stars Rihanna.

I'm curious how they get the battleship USS Missouri back up and ready to fight.

Got a free ticket to a screening tomorrow night. Is it worth showing up and waiting 45 minutes beforehand?

It can't be any worse than the TRANSFORMERS movies, right?

Well, Transmorphers was worse than Transformers, so there is definitely a gap.

Does this movie have anything whatsoever to do with the actual game?

I'd like this answered actually...just to chuckle. And if it does...how so that directly relates to the game.
