Battleship: Press reviews

'long, loud, ludicrous, mindlessly enjoyable'

'For action junkies this is a passable way to spend two hours, if you're in an undemanding mood.'

'The movie rolls along like the clanking fireballs destroying all credulity in its wake but providing a certain kind of watchability that also allows you to count the clichés in between.'

'Strangely, subversively, thrillingly awful'

'only just seaworthy'

'If you found Transformers just a touch too subtle, this big dumb puppy of a film is for you'

'Battleships! Where to next – Noughts and Crosses?'

'Misguided in the extreme'

'it's excruciating'

'All you need to know about Battleship – about an alien invasion suppressed by the US navy – is that it contains the phrases "We're talking about an extinction-level event" and "It's the North Koreans, I'm tellin' ya"'

'Miss.'
