Who thought a movie based on the Battleship game was going to be a hit?

All you need to do is look at the resumes of the director and the writers to understand why it's a piece of shit. It's amazing to me though that people actually got paid to make garbage like this.
I'm convinced though that if you through enough money at Liam Neeson he will act in any movie.

Anyone see it?

I downloaded a somewhat watchable version from pirate bay. I didnt even finish it.
To be honest I really didnt even think Avengers was that great. Just a big time summer popcorn movie with tons of effects that I would watch MAYBE one more time from netflix on bluray, and that was significantly better than Battleship.

I can see how the idea was pitched...after success of Transformers, what other 80s brand can we turn into a big action movie. Problem is Transformers at least lends itself to the format, whereas Battleships makes zero sense.
- Exactly. Might as well just make a Hungry Hungry Hippos game next.CygnusZero4
- Hungry Hungry Hippos starring Liam Neeson...youngdesigner
- He would do it for the right money. Im certain of it.CygnusZero4
- Jenga the movie starring Michael J Fox.err

See the thing about Battleship is if it were intelligently written with a story really intricately and cleverly written about strategy it could work, but they hired a bunch of hacks to work on it so it's just total throw away trash.
If you handed Battleship to an intelligent director, like I guess someone modern like Chris Nolan, you think this would be the result? Not even remotely close. It would be very cleverly written.
- well saidutopian
- But it is called "BATTLESHIP." Who would want to touch that. The name alone sounds like a joke.fredddddd
- < Have to agree. the idea is too stupid to succeed.youngdesigner
- so how far up Nolan's ass are you?albums
- Up his ass? The guy makes good movies. Pretty sure he could make a good naval warfare movie.CygnusZero4

When I first heard they were making a Battleship movie, I really was hoping it would be I guess somewhere along the lines of like a Hunt For Red October, a movie I love, except with ships, not subs, but it's not that at all.

- that had a ton of imagination and craft to it - regardless if the plot was same old.inteliboy
- PAYPYRUS and stupid been-done story = terrible movie.fredddddd
- Good computer effects do not equal imagination.fredddddd
- Bad dialogue too. Unobtanium?fredddddd
- Still makes you shudder? Really?duckseason
- Worst movie ever.fredddddd
- The amount of skill and craft alone in the movie would completely piss apart any website or graphic design project you've worked on.inteliboy
- .. project you've worked on.inteliboy
- Where as say battleship... that stuff is cookie cutter nonsense.inteliboy
- Why couldn't they just spend more time on the script / story / logo? They spent so much time and money on everything else.fredddddd
- "imagination" blue cats? really?animatedgif

I'm kind of upset by reading about "who thought this movie was going to be a hit" comment...
REALLY DUDE??? REALLLY??
I mean... have you just moved to planet earth and forgot to see that they made like 3 or 4 movies with vin diesel on it?
Also, I'm pretty sure there was a mario bross movie and some other flick where wesley snipes played a chick.

Movies based on videogames are a waste of time, never mind a fucking board game. Why is this even a discussion?
