Leofwine_draca AMERICAN WARSHIPS another of the numerous Asylum rip-offs of mainstream Hollywood cinema; this time around it's the turn of BATTLESHIP. The good news is that BATTLESHIP was a terrible film anyway, so AMERICAN WARSHIPS couldn't be any worse, and indeed it isn't; instead, it's just as bad. The story is trite and predictable, with a naval stand-off between American and supposed North Korean ships turning into a battle against an extraterrestrial enemy. There's a great deal of bad CGI in the form of endless explosions and the like, and very little in the way of wit or plot development; just repetition instead. Poor old Carl Weathers has been roped into appearing, while Mario Van Peebles somehow manages to not look embarrassed by the whole experience.

garydrake-26935 This movie was made in 2012, but I've seen better CGI/special effects in 1970's movies.There was better acting in my son's 3rd grade Christmas program.About the only thing that could've made this movie worse was to put Ben Affleck in it.

Nick Damian Realistically, this movie was horrible on so many fronts, I can't even count.From downright insane graphic effects to bad green screen work, sloppy camera work and editing, over-dramatic performances and glances, needless pausing during dialogue, sets that are far from real and so much more.It was so zany and insane that I had an absolute laugh.I recently watched Battleship and disliked that movie as opposed to this. This was purposely bad, done on a fraction of a budget and it entertained.Is it the best movie ever? Hell no! Don't even think to expect that. This has more cheese than a pizza loaded with cheese and topped with extra cheese sprinkled after taken out of the oven.This was pure mush and anybody who fails to realize this should stick to watching over-hyped blockbuster failures with huge budgets and stories that suck, but don't make you laugh, but just pisss you off.This movie was bad...very bad, and for that fact, it was simply very good at being bad.

douglas lally A stunned silence fell over me as the credits mercifully rolled. I actually watched that crap, I did it, I committed myself to seeing it through despite the urge to douse my self in gasoline and self immolate. If you actually make it all the way through this steaming river of sewage you deserve a medal for movie watching valor. I can't express enough through words alone just how breathtakingly, mind numbingly, horrifyingly awful this movie is. No one must be allowed to see this. It's too late for me but others will be spared a slow agonizing death only if this film is sealed in a titanium vault and dropped into the Marianas Trench. It isn't the childish production value, it isn't the laughable inaccuracies or the plot holes large enough to suck light and matter out of the room, it isn't the community theater acting, it isn't even the use of the wrong battleship for filming, it's the fact that this movie doesn't know it sucks. It actually thinks it's a decent movie. It says to you hey dig me I'm an awesome, edgy, action flick based on a legendary battleship (USS Iowa)and you're just going to love me. What it doesn't tell you until it's too late is yeah I forgot to tell you I'm using washed up hacks in a poorly thought out script and pretty much just throwing in whatever costumes and I can afford along with special effects some 12 year old created on his Mac. Oh and I was also filmed in my neighbor's pool. It isn't a movie. It's a war crime. Those responsible must be brought to justice.
