@ the Movies 2012 - Battleship

Action films are BIG business but when you do them right it could be even bigger business with sequels, action figures, other merch to follow.  And Battleship although adopted from a board game really works and has a great cast. 

Even Rhianna steps up to the plate as the only female Navy person.  Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård & Jesse Plemons all make it work as TV stars gone into film.  Alexander Skarsgård has made a much better choice here rather than his work on that art house train wreck Melancholia.


I am so excited to see Taylor Kitsch in more, he is smoking hot in this movie and has done well to gone from the box office flop but still enjoyable John Carter to this.  He is set to star in the upcoming "Savages" with some rather big names so keep a look out.

So the film is good honest fun, with big sounds, big action and not the long set up that the Avengers required.  This was nice as it cut straight to the action and got on with it.

Battleship is BIG, grand and as above has some great actors in it.  I feel as though this could be one of my action movies of 2012, cause I expected nothing but enjoyed the hell out of this!

Battleship rates a BIG, strong and Rhianna approved 4 stars.
