Battleship Sinks And Rihanna Can’t Save It
The Universal Pictures film based on the popular Hasbro board game Battleship has been getting panned across the board by film critics prior to its release on May 18th. The movie is built like a sci-fi summer blockbuster but has been raked over the coals for its mundane storyline, wooden acting, and overall nonsensical approach.
Why did they try to capitalize on the board game? I have no clue. And after seeing an early screening of the film, I must agree with the critics that this is a bastardization of multiple summer blockbusters ranging from Independence Day to Transformers. But I know what you’re most curious about — how is Rihanna in the film?
One word: horrible.
I’m not going to place all the blame on Ri-Ri as every single character in the film lacks depth and is saddled with some craptastic dialog. However, Rihanna isn’t remotely believable as the tough girl on the battleship. She delivers her lines with the conviction of a pre-teen asking the high school cheerleader out on a first date. She seems unsure of herself and what she is supposed to do. But I figure with lines like “Ma halo Motherf*cker,” she probably had a hard time holding in the laughter from the corny script. She’s never given anything more than a one-liner. Whether that was by design or when director Peter Berg realized that she’s just another pretty face is unknown. All we get to see is her phoning-in some wretched dialog and shooting a rifle. Hell, we’re not even given a sexy shot. She’s just there in her Navy duds waiting to blow something up and spew a line that lands with the impact of a feather pillow.
It’s not like Rihanna was bad in a good movie. That would suck. But all can be somewhat forgiven when she is bad in a bad movie.
Maybe next time.
What horrible reporting based on your own shallow thinking that you are trying to push on the readers.. It seems as though you are on a path to defenitely prevent persons from viewing the movie and deciding for themselves how they feel about it. “Don’t go to see it at all” is flying from your writing. As for the reviews you are speaking of, those must not have been some of the reviews I have been reading as lots have said Rihanna was surprisingly good and other producers were impressed with her acting and is now offering her many roles. If ‘Battleship’ is so horrible and ‘sinking’, why has it made so much money overseas? Are you then saying internationally’we have no taste’? You sound like you absolutely have a hatred for things ‘Peter Berg’ and you definitely have hatred for ‘Rihanna’.
Are you prehaps a CHris Brown fan or have a favourite like “Gaga” and feel that by downing Rihanna you pump up your fave? Shady reporting. You might also be more into downing ‘Battleship’ to pump up another movie you want others to see maybe?

Dead at the rihanna navy being upset. this is in line with what most said and the movie didn’t make alot overseas. The Avengers beat Battleship it’s first weekend out and because of the huge budget it needs 400 million just to break even. The movie isn’t going to be number one this week and its not on par with the Transformers or GI joe films.
