The film eventually comes down to lots of scenes in which things get "blowed up real good. Were less sophisticated versions of this used in medieval times, maybe made of flaming tar balls? The film is in the tradition of the " Transformers " movies, also based on Hasbro games, and you get the feeling that Hasbro showed director Peter Berg some Michael Bay movies and told him to go and do likewise. To his credit, "Battleship" is a more entertaining film than the "Transformers" titles, because it has slightly more fully fleshed characters, a better plot and a lot of naval combat strategy.
The work of Gregory D. Gadson, as the disabled vet, is especially effective; he has a fierce screen presence. Rihanna is as convincing as the character allows, and Taylor Kitsch makes a sturdy if predictable hero. But the nicest touch is that "Battleship" has an honest-to-God third act, instead of just settling for nonstop fireballs and explosions, as Bay likes to do.

We all have a thing for superhero flicks but The Avengers made us fall hopelessly in the love with the concept of it all. Whatever we can say about the genius that is The Avengers is less — thank god we have a whole collection of Marvel movies to keep us company for the gigantic hole the denouement of the franchise has left us with.
