It was also a HUGE plug for the United States Navy. They actually used real naval personnel in the fimling of the movie. And real navy vets from WWII.
I liked it a lot, it leaked three weeks ago and I honestly regret watching this and avengers at home on a 32" screen before seeing it in theatres.
It was full of action, and made the Navy look cool.
Also the way they acquire the battleship was pretty good. WW2 vets aren't going to stand around and let anyone take Pearl Harbor. Also interesting to use Japanese as well as American sailors together to defend Pearl Harbor.

I just got in from seeing this, and I thought it was pretty good. 
Not a great "Movie" by any stretch of the imagination, but my family and I had a great time. It reminded me a bit of Armageddon as far as being fun movie.
Thumbs up.

A few weeks back a poster on here made fun wondering if they would revive the Missouri as the battleship for the movie
I did at one point, but I don't know if you are referring to me or not.
But that doesn't excuse the fact that the entire premise of being able to basically gas up the Missouri and go off to fight a war on a whim is ludicrous. Could the Missouri Actually Be Used to Fight a War on a Whim?
I haven't seen the movie yet, don't know if I'm going to or not.

Not surprising that this did terribly at the box office.

CANNES -- Universal and Hasbro Entertainment's big-budget Battleship barely left port in its North American launch, grossing a dismal $25.3 million.
That's well below the anticipated $35 million to $40 million that Universal and director Peter Berg were hoping for. Battleship, designed to put the studio squarely in the tentpole game, cost at least $209 million to produce, excluding a pricey marketing spend.
Battleship's international gross of $226.8 million provides some cushion, but it needed a strong domestic performance to end up in the black. A $25.3 million opening means the movie might not clear $70 million or $80 million over the long haul domestically, resulting in a notable loss for Universal and sparking plenty of Monday-morning quarterbacking within the studio about what went wrong.
