was supposed to be a dud, but it's aimed in the right place, packed with brains and heart, and explosively fun
by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]
too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism
by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail ]
the screenplay, by Jon and Erich Hoeber, goes through such extraordinary narrative contortions in order to justify an allusion to the game's familiar grid-work board and guessing-game strategy
by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]
the movie drags on way too long
by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]
the captains of this movie deserve a medal
Review rate : B+
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]
overlong and numbing military-vs.-aliens saga with laughably bad dialogue
by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]
no characters, no plot, no natural tension
by Bob Mondello [NPR ]
like "Transformers," which it rivals in relentlessness, "Battleship" comes with its own force field
by Joe Morgenstern [Wall Street Journal ]
it's loud, it's large, it's stupid, and its best gag involves a chicken burrito
by Amy Biancolli [San Francisco Chronicle ]
it's all very earnest, but it's not a whole lot of fun
by Kenneth Turan [Los Angeles Times ]
it even-please fine me for saying this-makes Michael Bay's Transformersmovies look rollicking by comparison
by Dana Stevens [Slate ]
dumb, noisy, and flashy
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]
dopey, preposterous and unintentionally hilarious in all the wrong place
by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]
delivering volley after volley of impressive special effects, snicker-worthy dialogue, goofball humor and -- best of all -- aliens vs. the Navy showdowns at sea
by Randy Myers [San Jose Mercury News ]
