Against all of my better judgement, I picked up Battleship as my free RedBox rental last week (and then kept it two nights... d'oh!). I have to say, in a year full of disappointment (I'm looking at you Poormetheus (I just came up with that!) and Drek Night Rises (they can't all be winners)) that my low expectations were shattered and I quite liked this movie.

Yes, I'm talking about Battleship, the one based on the boardgame.

Is it smart? No. Is it goofy? Yes. Does it have plot holes galore? Probably. Do you want to spend any time thinking about those in a movie full of fun? I don't know, but none of that stuff bothered me the least. Again, this could go back to having such low expectations that they couldn't not be met (so don't let me raise them) but the whole last hour of the movie had me grinning from ear-to-ear at the awesomeness of it.

So, for your low expectationed consideration, I present:

BATTLESHIP!

(or in the words of Mz. Black: Fun, fun, fun.)
