Battleship isn't just bad. It's so profoundly atrocious, so spectacularly deplorable, so intensely horrendous that saying it's bad is like giving Oscar to everyone involved in its creation.
The script is written by a cliché fetishist. First 20 minutes filled with pointless melodrama that makes you constantly look at your wrist watch wondering when aliens arrive, and when they actually arrive you become even more depressed.
They clearly hired some mentally-disabled person to come up with the key element of this sci-fi debacle, which is this: Aliens, while having somewhat questionable, yet quite capable war machinery, have one "interesting" weakness: they constantly scan our ships and soldiers and attack only if guns are aimed directly at them with the intent to shoot. If guns are off by 10 degrees they become absolutely disinterested and let you live till the next time you decide to attack. That exercise in idiocy can be repeated as many times as needed. I am not kidding.
Of course, brave humans manage to figure out that they deal with dumbest space morons in all the galaxy, and beat them to a pulp using inferior technology.
Add to that a staggering amount of patriotic drool and you will get the ugliest kind of spectacle that represents the worst Hollywood can offer.
Any 8 year old child could come up with more logical and less loopy idea while riding a bicycle, eating a lollipop and listening to Death metal.
I am not sure if somewhere out there there are aliens that have nothing better to do than attack Earth, but if they get their testicles (cuz i wouldn't use tentacles to touch it) on this movie you can bet your panties the attack is coming, even the most tranquil alien will loose his cool after watching Battleship. They spent $200 million on this fiasco. District 9 costs $30 million.
Instead of counting boobs and f-words MPAA should investigate movies like this, because nothing that idiotic can go into production with that kind of budget without some kind of conspiracy to waste money while simultaneously insulting movie audiences, on Earth and elsewhere.
