The Red, White, and Blue. Mildly impressed, but it did it's job.

Love the old 'Missouri' crew stepping up like a boss.

That was one AWESOME "bad" movie. Don't think about the plot too much and just sit back and enjoy some good ol' U. S. of Alien Asskicking.

Those Aliens were the most inept, self-contradicting idiots to ever invade the US in a movie.

I like a ribeye from Ruth Chris, but I can dig a grilled cheese too. And as grilled cheeses go, this one was just fine. I just wonder if Liam cut a deal to only be in four aggregate minutes of this film if they could use him in the trailer?

I just watched this movie. I can say that I was thoroughly entertained for the entire movie. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Plus I'm a sucker for almost anything patriotic.

Battleship was better than expected. No shite, I was totally entertained.

I can't believe it.

It was more entertaining than I thought it was going to be.

Cheesy at times, but entertaining. I like the use of vets in the movie too.

Watched this one a couple weeks ago, and enjoyed it. It wasn't great by any means, but it definitely did it's job and entertained for a couple of hours.

I hated Rhianna though.

Also, fun side note: the iPhone autocorrects Rhianna into "this bs". Awesome.

This may be considered a bad movie but I loved basically everything about it!

I laughed my arse off when he tried to get the burrito right at the begining.

I figured this may be good right from the get go.

I've been wanting someone else to start this thread - been a bit hesitant to start it myself.

The movie was fun to watch. It definitely is not a "masterpiece" - but, it is a fun hour and half of movie.

So he pulled a Steven Segal like in Executive Decision?

Spoilers















The alien weapons were pure comedy as is usually the case in these type movies.

The ships hopped around the ocean and were basically equipped with World War I era Mortars.

Just watched it and thought it was a fun movie. Like everyone said, enjoy it for what it is and it will be good. I liked the part where the old Missouri crew got to work but I had to laugh at it. Apparently there isn't another boat or crew ready to go. In Pearl Harbor. At all.

The whole fleet was out for the war games, and the force field surrounding the area blocked everyone off.

I liked the movie, but thought "even if the aliens arrived en force, their shitty tech would have them on the ropes in days.

I do wish they would drop the whole Transformers missiles going every which way before hitting their target kinda thing. I'm just nitpicking there.
