It's refreshing to have criticism which I do not have to censor for reasons of decency.<br /><br />Now onto your statements.<br /><br />The film unfortunately did not have any wow moments as nothing stood out from previous battles. Despite your comment, was nothing but one huge battle scene with showers of bullets, and that was a huge flaw. It blew its load very early on and never escalated towards anything, there was no build-up towards a bigger fights or even a real climax of sorts. It started with a big battle and never got bigger, as a result that ended up robbing events of tension. The lack of any downtime between engagements hardly helped in this respect either.<br />Think of action films you've seen, any ones will do. Almost all of them start small and end with something big so the audience keeps being wowed when the film excels beyond what was previously shown. This is something Battleship lacked and suffered as a result. Meaning moments which individually could have stood out and been fantastic just ended up blurring with everything else. This repetitiveness within the film has nothing to do with the tactics on display simply the progression of events. However this and your other comment does highlight another flaw – Battleship didn’t know what it wanted to be.<br /><br />For every few scenes where the film was trying to be an over the top action fest there were ones trying to get the audience to take things completely seriously. Much to its detriment, as each ends up completely undermining the other when it is introduced. The only reason I ended up smirking at the scenes you mentioned was when I realised “Oh lord, they want us to take this seriously in a film where aliens are shooting exploding pegs at people.” Worse still there was no semblance of self awareness to this fact, making the flaw all the more apparent.<br /><br />Please understand that I have no problem with people enjoying this film in any respect. If you think it’s fun and enjoyable, then fine that’s your opinion and I’m not going to object to it. I probably have listed liking a number of things on here which were enjoyable which you’d call wastes of money and talent. At the same time however, you need to at least acknowledge the flaws present in such a thing otherwise it leads to arrogance or the sort of rampant fanboying seen in die-hard supporters of films like Avatar.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-54549649747857496402012-12-12T02:13:40.947+00:002012-12-12T02:13:40.947+00:00Good gravy you are such a whiny wanna-be intellect...Good gravy you are such a whiny wanna-be intellectual. By "No real wow moments" it's obvious you mean "no half-hour massive battlescenes with showers of arrows/bullets/etc and huge armies." Wars aren't even like that anymore.<br /><br />They had to tone down a lot of the military complications so us landlubbers could understand it. And as for 'repetitive', in the board game you don't really have a lot of tactics.<br /><br />I bet you didn't even smile at the scene where the brave old veterans of the "Mighty Mo" - whose shoes you aren't worthy to shine - were brought back to action along with their ship...One...Last...Time. Or the ingenuity of using tidal wave buoys to track the alien fighter-ships since radar was now useless.<br /><br />Stick to reviewing Xbox shooter games, that's more your capacity.Dark-Starnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-5124419435457588192012-04-22T13:04:27.316+01:002012-04-22T13:04:27.316+01:00yeah.. it is nice~ i liked this movie too~ =D
