It was about battleships why don't you give us an idea into what a politicidal produced adaptation of the battleship game should have been about. Sailors spending two hours in flooded ship levels vomiting out sea water isn't my idea of fun. So don't watch it then. More dysentery for me. You know when I suggest that alternative idea it was as a joke I didn't think you would actually go for it. Aliens Vs battleships sustains a two hour movie a claustrophobic sea drama about naval officers drowning doesn't. And I usually don't get more than two replies from you which means you must have really loved this board game. |

Shockingly enough, perhaps other people would find a straightforward drama more compelling, complete with sea battles against other ships instead of Transformers knockoffs.

"Shockingly enough" is a funny bunch of words to be using for such a by the numbers warship plot that has been done before. You're seriously going to tell me that you've never watched WW2 at sea in movies before? Aliens and battleships is at least a change. If something has already been done and a director wants to spice things up then that's great. |

It makes it unimaginative and not worth the price of a ticket. I like directors that think outside the box. |

You do know that if a studio wants to commit to cinemas 1009th unneeded warship movie then they will. I'm not saying Battleship was perfect but it didn't bore me which is a worse crime it could've commited. I don't like war films anyway especially repeats. And why you're getting so bent out of shape because Michael Bay denied you your 1011th warship movie is anyone's guess. |

He directed Plan 9 from Outer Space and a bunch of other terrible movies. Johnny Depp played him in a Tim Burton movie.

And it was Peter Berg who stole your would've been 2000th warship movie away from you not Michael Bay. If you think trying to shame me by throwing an alleged shit director at me is going to work then you need to see a mentalist. |

Honestly it is interesting to think Peter Berg directed this cause he’s done some really good stuff and actually do believe he could have made a true to the game Battleship movie if he was asked. |

Yeah, I enjoyed quite a few of his movies;in fact I kind of wish he was directing that Uncharted movie. He was probably just a director-for-hire at the time.

I'll watch that.
I figured how to solve the cube all by myself when I was around 14-15 years old. There was no Internet at the time, so I couldn't have looked it up. I don't remember how long it took me; probably about three months. I still remember my method.
I've seen videos of people who look at the cube for some time and are then able to solve it with their eyes closed. I can't even begin to understand how anyone can do that.

Honestly he probably would be better than Rueben. |

Lmao, what? "Rubik's Cube" doesn't have any built-in story and character content, so they're going have to dream it all up. That's actually not so bad.....
This movie will have more original content than any book adaptation.
