Enjoyable, enough.
Not as good as: Ironman (1).
Better than: Ironman 2. Thor.
Has Gwyneth Paltrow given up shoes? I couldn’t figure out why she was barefoot in both her scenes in this movie.

Ignoring the actual few and far between tie-ins to the game of Battleship, which were actually the best parts of the movie and used so sparingly you almost didn’t notice them:
This was the schmaltziest, most sentimental, ridiculously attempting-to-pull-at-your-heartstrings action film you will ever see. The minute that group of WWII soldiers starts to walk across the deck? COME ON, NOW.
Sadly not very good at all.
I say sadly because hello a) SKARSGARD, b) Peter Berg, c) Taylor Kitsch, d) Liam Neeson, e) sailors, f) ships, g) aliens. Those are all things I like.
Unexpectedly a LOT of fun. And also lots of cool stylin’. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Best flick I’ve seen all year, hands down. SUPER clever. Really well done.
