In fact, it’s so dumb that it may actually be trying to be dumb. That might involve thinking, a verb clearly not utilized much during the creation of this film. The film can’t even get cheeky enough to have a character say, “You sunk my battleship,’ the game’s catchphrase. You can almost imagine how this film was pitched: Take “Transformers,” add bits of “Pearl Harbor” and “Independence Day,” include every cliche known to mankind, stick in a bimbo and a singer to increase the demographic, blow up buildings and ships, and, voila, a movie sure to wow 10-year-old boys.ĭirector Peter Berg tries to impersonate Michael Bay here by being excessively loud, excessively explosive and excessively stupid, but even Bay would be embarrassed by the witlessness on display here. Then along comes “Battleship,” a movie based on a board game that’s so waterlogged it has barnacles for brains. I didn’t think I would ever see a film more moronic than “Transformers,” a movie based on a toy.
