The Shrine

I thought Battleship was going to be a Bay-level disaster and it wasn't! Still floored

What? That movie was awful, it was Transformers without the Transformers.

You think it was as "bad' as Transformers? Why?

I don't know of any other way to describe it.

Take the Transformers movies, and all of the stupid shit that's in them that makes you cringe or roll your eyes but remember you're tolerating it because holy shit, the Transformers are in it. Now remove the Transformers, and you have Battleship.

Same idiotic cringe worthy characters and movie cliches amplified 10x, but then you don't have the Transformers to keep you from killing yourself while you watch it. The CGI special effects are almost identical to something you'd see in the Transformers movies.

Battleship = Transformers without the Transformers.

Although there was no Megan Fox's ass and slow-motion running towards the camera, there was no Devestator's balls either..... or "My Bad" or the Femm-bot or the Discrimination Bots or Hobo-tron (I'm going by negativity from popular opinion here). Doesn't that at the very least put it above Transformers in your mind?

What about how they transferred the board to the buoy targeting system? That didn't at the very least seem clever to you? Or the peg-bombs utilized by the alien race? I mean, can you think of a better way to move the board game onto the big-screen?

It's a movie...

ABOUT A FUCKING BOARD GAME!

Shut up, Zeus. Seriously.

It's not even a good board game

The original Pirates of the Caribbean was a movie.....ABOUT A FUCKING AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE! Was that bad too?
