Summary - Great 4.0

There is nothing like the emotion behind a good war movie. Put that to use in a good humans vs. alien story, and you have the makings of a great summer blockbuster. Battleship is a worthy blockbuster indeed. The aliens are bad-ass, and the Navy is badder, and you’ll not often have a more fun time rooting for the good guys – and the Mighty Mo! Great action, special effects, and dramatic flair from the cast. A great way to help open up the summer season!

Acting - Good 3.0

Taylor Kitsch of Friday Night Light’s fame is great at the loser turns around story as he did in the TV show. In Battleship, he takes it up a notch and saves the day.

Alexander Skarsgard is good as the straight-laced older brother that has little patience for is younger sibling.

Liam Neeson is a natural at the Navy Admiral and reluctant Dad

Brooklyn Decker is as hot as always and does a decent job

Rhianna makes a good debut as a tough Navy petty officer

Peter MacNicol in a familiar angry but inept political role

Jesse Plemons – also of Friday Night Lights fame is good with his special brand of goofy humor

Film - Great 4.0

I’m not so sure about the connection to the Hasbro game – but who cares. Seeing all that Naval firepower put to use against aliens was rousing experience.

Edge - Risqué 1.6

Reality - Fantasy 4.3
