Looks Like This Battleship Took a plunge of Titanic Proportions.

i haven’t seen this movie and hopefully never will. (you say it’s a choice to see movies and of course it is, but sometimes you’ll see something with a group and it’s not at all up to you after all. you either bug out and look like a lame-o or stay and watch the bowl of shit. this happened with a movie called “teeth”, which i actually DID leave during. nothing’s worse than an unfunny, vile mess of mangled dicks and toothed snatches, man…)

I also enjoyed at the movies and have seen it a dozen times on small screen since and still find it watchable. There are a number of so called blockbusters out there that I would not want to watch twice…

How was a predictably terrible movie that turns out to be terrible a disappointment? Also, those who hated John Carter…didn’t see the film. the film was harmless entertainment at worst and one of the best space operas in years at best. John Carter wasn’t a flop, it’s just COOL to say it was.

Damn straight bad promotion by the studio and changing the title from the actual book title probably cause some confusion but the movie was Great !!

John Carter was a Excellent movie great from start to finish could have shaved the run time by 15 or 20 minutes but other then being a bit long it was awesome , Battleship good special effects Taylor is solid but just has shitty luck and the script wasn’t so great. Back to John Carter the advertising for it was not good at all Green Lantern got better publicity and we all know how bad it was !!! Good Luck Taylor eventually u will have a hit maybe as Remy LaBeux from the Wolverine X-Men Universe not familiar with the Comics enough to know if Gambit is a stand alone X-Man ????

I say the Dark Knight Rises was more dissapointing. Battleship really didn’t have much hype at all.

Anyone who stars Rihanna in their movies has already condemned it to failure.

“thanks to less discerning international audiences.”

This made me laugh so hard, I didn’t realize I needed it. Thanks, mate!

Oh, and do you know why most of the world (including all of your allies) think many of you are completely insulated and thus lack any broader understanding of the world, are deafened by propaganda and riddled with misplaced jingoism with your “American Exceptionalism” and God-given right to be the most influential country on this planet, are boorish and unintelligent, ridiculously proud of themselves and hysterically arrogant? Because of people like you proudly displaying that exact kind of ignorance – ignorance that would be inexcusable were you not living in your little blinders-on dystopia called ‘Murika.

2012 DID HAVE MANY PIVOTAL FILMS THAT IF THEY WERE BETTER

the year would hve been a smash success! I would emphasize PIVOTAL and not that these movies were terrible but they were no where close to their potential!

#5 SKYFALL not terrible, but terribly cartoonish and an overall yet slight let down!

#4 The Hobbit also not terrible, even less original! Coulda turned the whole vibe around!

#3 Men in Black III approached bad and burned the talents of Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee and Chill Will? on that ensemble snoozer? BOOOO!

#2 Django- sooo controversial! my $%#@! Django was simply an incomplete! No soul, no direction, embarassingly under researched and sophmoric…

#1 Bourne Legacy- What a title! What an embarrassment… Hey Jeremy Renner go hide!

and again i’d emphasize the potential cause all 5 had a shot to be amazing!
and alongside Zero Dark, Argo, Dark Knight Rises, etc woulda given off a totally different vibe.

2012 stunk!

“Battleship is closing in on a $295 million worldwide box office, jarring proof that in this day and age that a movie can gross over $295 million and still be considered a bomb, thanks to less discerning international audiences.” Less discerning? What a pretentious douche-bag. To like a movie the critics panned does not make one ‘less discerning’. Smug moron. BTW, I loved Daredevil too.

The trailers were the real problem. I didn’t go see John Carter or Battleship because I didn’t know what either one of them were about. The trailers were vague, only revealing big budgets, which made me think there wasn’t a plot worth talking about. I watch movies for the stories, not the explosions.

I think the problem is that they based it off a board game that really didnt have much merit to be turned into a movie… now if you make it as a standalone movie and say it has no ties into the board game, possibly rename it, people wouldnt not bash it nearly as much. It was just setting itself to be picked on well before it was given a chance.

what do people expect from a movie that is adapted from a board game with the original premise as thing as that small plastic wall separating you and your kid brother’s battleships. I knew it was gonna be a no-brainer action flick thus i wasn’t dissapointed.

Well said though Marvin, MILLION BILLION times better than Transformers 2 and 3 and god knows how many more

If Battleship was the most disappointing movie for people then this year is the height of consumer stupidity. Who could go into that movie with ANY expectations at all. If they were disappointed it’s their own fault.

That movie (which I rented for $3.99 off I-Tunes) gave me everything I wanted from it, which was very little, and somewhat exceeded it. Plenty of special effects and neat designs. I can’t imagine what the heck people were expecting from it..I mean the inspiration was a BOARD GAME ffs..

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT ROCK OF AGES IS BETTER THAN BATTLESHIP. PLEASE.

I expected Battleship to suck,I mean its based on a board game guess what ? its much better than it had a right to be .I wanted Jon carter to be the start of a new fransise,but the studio cut “of mars” from the title and went out of ther way to make it flop ,its a good solid movie. Want to talk dissopointing? Promethius and the dark knight returns ! both hyped to the moon and both have scripts with so many big holes in them you could drive a battleship though them

wow!!!..thats sooo unfair and full of B S!!!..i saw the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it and iv watched it 3 times in the cinema and i v bought both blue ray and standard dvd releases and iv only ever done that with transformers!!..ok it didn t make that much money but it definatly does nt deserve the title of most disappointing movie of the year..NO WAY NO HOW!!!! .who comes up with this crap anyway obviously the person who is biased against good action movies and is deaf dumb and blind and someone who does nt know what a good movie is if it came down and smacked them in the face!!!.. we did nt expect it to win any oscars !!! but it was a great action movie and deserved a lot better..
