Saw it from a mile away. Or should i say nautical mile?
I would love to just know their mindset when they were thinking "let's make a film about a board game".

Their mindset is "People will pay to see anything!"
Of course, it seems they were proved wrong this time.
Good boardgame movies are possible, you know.

Like it's any wonder. It's going up against The Avengers. There's no question about it.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;36035422][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clue_(film)]The movie Clue was actually pretty damn good for being based on a board game.[/url][/QUOTE]
Maybe it's because Clue has a fucking plot?
Lol the Wikipedia article says They'll do a Clue remake for 2013
One thing I will never understand about FP mods is their readiness to let a thread with an incredibly misleading title go on for 2 pages before banning the OP and not changing the title.

I mean i'm not complaining about the banning but this is like the 14th time I've seen someone punished for this and the name unchanged, why would you leave it like that.
rowdy protagonist, micheal bay explosions, plot device, love interest with actual whore, explosions, im proud of you son ending, 16 ass-shots, maybe a tiny explosion, end
wow holy fuck good movie don't need plots at all just funnel all of that shit into [B]EXPLOSION EFFECTS AND SHIT[/B]
Its not that the premise of a movie from a board game is bad, it's just that the writers and director is just derp.
Riding on Transformers effects as well as District 9 feeling. Come on, it could have had a better plot. Another similar movie would be the coming Prometheus.
Don't even get started with Chernobyl Diaries. Oh man, its like they take the best ideas and churn out green diarrhea for us to swallow because there's nothing else to watch anymore. Then they blame on piracy and stomp on our internet
At first I was like "awwwwww nooo" then I read the first line..
What was the original "misleading"title?
I didn't understand why the title was misleading at first. It didn't occur to me that people would think it was talking about an ACTUAL battleship, rather than the movie.
[QUOTE=superstepa;36036754]What was the original "misleading"title?[/QUOTE]The current one. It hasn't been changed.

Oh
It's not [I]that [/I] misleading, I understood the topic as soon as I saw taht
It's going to suck. They marketed this shit too, there are like Battleship block-sets (Not Legos, some rip-off shit) and I LOVE toys but they're so ugly and stupid looking I dislike them. Now they're probably not going to sell half of them anyway.

My Subway was selling promotional cups with it. When they first came in with the inventory, all I thought was, "What a waste, why would they bother marketing this crap?"
Then I realized they were making a possible pun with us selling "subs".

Maybe even Kre-o, but Kre-o doesn't get much of anything often and they're almost a knock-off of a knock-off. Megabloks at least has some fairly interesting designs however and plenty of unique models. Their molds is the big problem though, because they typically have some small variances between each piece that make them a bit clunky and awkward to build with difficult to fit together.
I get called a film snob by coworkers for dismissing this movie as a pile of fucknig gargbage
am I really a film snob for having basic standards
this shit doesn't even look pretty
It's not even a pile of garbage. It's a high budget commercial for a long irrelevant guessing game.
There was no point in which there was any level of plot that was beyond the canon I've seen in toy commercials. It's Jack and Jill with a high budget, except the entire thing is one product placement rather than an amalgamation of them.
"They're not going to sink [I]this[/I] Battleship"
"Have you seen the box office?"
"Oh....."
the film was just "convenient" moment after moment.
This film was a joke the second it was announced.
[QUOTE=TheJoker;36034577]Suddenly they blame piracy.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I believe The Joker. :p
I liked it when was called Battlehip.
[QUOTE=jordguitar;36035661]Who the fuck thought making a movie over a fucking board game would be a fucking good idea[/QUOTE]

I read somewhere that Universal's license on Hasbro's board games was in danger of becoming a liability because Hasbro wanted to start charging them a penalty for not doing anything with it, then Peter Berg came along...
Well, be glad no one have made a live action or a 3D My Little Pony movie. yet....

Kre-O is Hasbro's equivalent, they pretty much made it so they could make transformers sets without having to get Lego involved.
