Battleship Movie Review

2012 seems to be the year where fiction is being brought to life. What, with "The Avengers" being such a box office hit where all the imaginary characters in our childhood comic books all came together for one cause, to "Battleship."

"Battleship," mimicked off the infamous game "Battleship" from the Milton Bradley company, has critics raving around the world.  In the movie, several Naval ships battle with unknown origins that have, literally, fallen from the sky. Star Taylor Kitschs' character was the highlight of the film for me. To see that man in such control was so...so...I was impressed, I'll say that! You guy's may remember him from Disney's "John Carter" or as his character Remy in "X-Men Orgins: Wolverine." Hmm, from a brief flashback of his filmography, it seem's as though he likes to play action characters.

Another highlighted character in the movie was played by my personal crush, Liam Neeson. He never fails to impress with the stern yet personable characters he play's (smooches to you Mr. Neeson & remember, age aint nothin' but a speed bump in our potential future)!

Now to the breakout star of the movie, Rihanna. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't the first time Rihanna's played in a movie. In 2006's "Bring it on: All or Nothing," she still had to play a role; herself! But hey, I guess that's what we call a "cameo." Whatever the case, the girl surprised the tom hickory farms outta me! She really owned her character and it was clear that she took the role seriously. Applause goes out to you Ri Ri!

To me, "Battleship" was just another movie that predicted the outcome of what could (and potentially will) happen if America continues to tamper with outer space things that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with us. Gah-lee, stay inside ya own atmosphere people!
