    It only made $25 million its opening weekend, on a budget of $200 million. It's the poorest opening weekend for a film with a budget of over one hundred million.

    Has anybody actually seen it to comment on if it's even worth the price of admission? I WAS considering seeing it this weekend but with having to throw a neighbor's graduation party there wasn't any time.

    I did see Battleship
    Posted this about it in the What's Opening 5/18 & The Last Movie I Watched threads.

    IT IS WHAT IT IS!

    Another movie by Hasbro, based on one of their toys.

    Only 35% of aggregate reviews on Rottentomatoes liked it and only 56% of audiences. The criticism was; "It may offer energetic escapism for less demanding filmgoers, but Battleship is too loud, poorly written, and formulaic to justify its expense -- and a lot less fun than its source material." But, I thot it was a hoot. What can you expect from a toy company that brot you Transformers? Totally absurd, total action, easy to understand juvenile emotional displays and if all the fighting an unwinnable war against a superior force that outmatches all our weapons isn't enuf, wait til you see how they finally bring the bad boys down. Exponentially absurd - But fun.
