Has anyone seen Battleship yet? I'm seriously thinking about going to see it.

Go into it with limited expectations and it is OK. I would recommend a matinee or waiting for it to hit second run theaters, but it isn't as terrible as it might have been.

As written, it is the pretty typical story of a talented young screwup who is pulled into a situation where he has to become responsible in order to succeed. It is ultimately the same same story as Top Gun or even the JJ Abbrams Star Trek, but it works well. The link to the game isn't too heavy handed.

I read somewhere that if you liked Transformers you'll like this, but it's nothing special.

Many of the reviews could have been written before the movie released (and given the poor expectations, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case).

Rotten Tomatoes shows that critics collectively gave it a 34% rating, but that the reporting audience gave it a 57% rating (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/battleship/). Still not great, but much better than one would have thought from the official reviews.

It wasn't bad. Had it not been named after a boardgame it might have been received with less distaste.

There was one part when trying to target the enemy craft that was a throwback to the game, but otherwise a decent enough summer movie. It got a little hokey when theu commandeered a true battleship, but otherwise, i'd give it a positive review.
