Really? Well, I won't hold it against you... lol
To be fair, I never saw it. Was it really that good?
Going in, you know it isn't going to be a Cohen Brothers film, and if you set your mind that way, it is a shitload of fun. Giant Battleships, getting the USS Missouri out of retirement, really old Navy Guys entering the fray, guns, guns, GUNS, big mofo GUNS being loaded by hand. Fun writing, surprisingly good performances. I didn't know who Rhianna was, and thought she was possibly actual Navy. Guy with prosthetic legs is actually a veteran with prosthetic legs, great Geek moment with a briefcase...
It is just big, stupid fun, like Pacific Rim. Switch the brain off and enjoy the show.
