Not bad except for Rhianna


This movie was really not as bad as the critics made it out to be. Rhianna was pretty annoying though.

reply

What? seriously, "annoying" ?
btw I`m not a fan of hers, prior to this I don`t even listen to her music..
She is a good actress and she nailed the part perfectly in my opinion, reminds me of plenty a tough navy chick
what on earth was bad about it?
(you wanted to see some titty didn`t you - that`s it disappointment.. )
;)

You wanna see an annoying artist frak up scenes a movie, watch Terminator Salvation
Common can`t act worth a DAMN in that movie

reply

Agree. Her looks alone can only help this slop! Movie was brutal, but ya she was ok and ok is hard to say in this movie.

reply

what the hell are you talking about? Nailed the part? are you joking?

She was pretty bad. I wouldn't call what she did Acting. She just played herself. There was no acting done at all. AT ALL. She just talked the same way she always talks and she acted the same way she acts in her every day life.

So, I really hope you are joking when you say "nailed the part"
and if you are not, I guess the part said "Rianna Plays Herself in combat boots" if that was the case then yeah, she definitely nailed That part, Playing herself on a ship.


She cant act. She couldn't act in This Is the end, She couldn't act in Battleship, she should stay with music

reply

Bwahaah "she couldn't act in 'this is the end'" ... are you an idiot? her part was a SENTENCE or two and she sang a bit. and they ALL play fictionalized versions of THEMSELVES. So she failed at acting..... like herself?

She may not be meryl streep but as long as she can get acting roles and wants to do, I say more power to her. She is hot, rich, funny. the package.

reply

yeah as a Rianna fan, of course you are not going to have any class.
It is funny how being the fan of someone will show on how you talk to others. It becomes obvious.
The Thing is Riaana can keep making her music for fans like you. she just doesn't have to ruin movies.
I dont see why singers feel like they have to be in movies. Xzibit totally ruined the X Files movie. It's like, being a singer and being in music videos doesn't automatically mean that they can act. Just like Actors being in movies, it doesn't automatically mean they can sing.
So when people like Bruce Willis or Eddie Murphy try to sing, they are not good.

reply

Dude, have you heard Eddie try to sing like MJ? The man can sing, you are very wrong there.

reply

Why do you keep spelling her name differently? You write like you're on drugs.

reply

the only people high are the people that liked this movie

reply

Maybe I am biased being a Rihanna fan, but I thought her performance was the saving grace of the film.

reply

I found her to be okay, nothing special, but overall forgetable. now The main character's girl friend, her acting is awful.

just saw it on HBO. very enjoyable. as an old battleship man it was a treat to see a battleship in a positive light. Thought Rhianna was cool.

reply

Terrible actress and butt ugly to boot.

reply

AGREED^

Also Rhianna is really a minor character; yet the camera was on her too many times. It did not merit the storyline, really.

reply

Not being 'merkin I had no idea who she was and from her weird look (tiny head with strange nose/eye job) I thought she was going to turn up as some alien spy at some stage.

reply

Actually, she was one of the few good points,her and Skarsgard. She delivered all of the dialogue perfectly, regardless of how cheesy. Furthermore, I thought she looked gorgeous on camera. But I guess to each his own.*shrugs*

I aim to misbehave!

reply

Terrible film.
I believe that Chris Brown beat her up because he saw her in this POS.

Bad films are a crime against humanity.

reply

after trying to watch this movie, *I* want to beat her up.
GO back to being a whore, Rhianna, you'll make more money getting naked and selling sex to 12 year olds than as an actress.

reply

People thought she was good in this? Go watch any quality movie and the actresses will make her look horrid.

reply

the comments on this thread are ridiculous. you're either an 80 year old prude or a sheltered 15-year-old president of the high school chastity club. love how some of you folks advocate for violence against women just because she chose to be in a movie to advance her career. salty af over some dumb s***.

reply

1. your comment is ignorant as all hell. What are you a teenager or something?


2. Battleship was made in 2012. Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna in 2009. So do the math on that one genius. that couldn't of been the reason he beat her because she hadn't even of acted in Battleship yet. He beat her because he is a piece of trash that should die.

reply

1. No,I'm an adult. What are you…a humorless twit? I didn't assault Rihanna, so I don't have to be bothered when she decides to get back with the man who assaulted her in the first place. Her stupidity isn't my issue.

2. It's called a joke. I know when the events occurred. If you found the joke to be offensive, simply say that. No one deserves to "die" simply because they beat up another person.

If you truly believe that, book some time with a mental health professional as you seem to have serious issues with discerning proportional responses to actions.

Bad films are a crime against humanity.

reply

you're disgusting.

reply

Rhianna's performance was at least as good as most every one else in this film. You can't give this lame movie a pass then turn around and single her out as if her role was THAT prominent. However, if you don't like her to begin with, judging by the nasty comments I'm thinking that's the case with some others posting here to, then that's a different story. There's probably not much she could have done that would have been good enough anyway. Not saying her performance was great by any means but it was certainly up to par with this film.





Back off! ... Way off!

She was pointless here REGARDLESS of personal opinions. It was like putting a 6 year old child as the lead in RAMBO. Didn't fit at all. She would be good enough in a role she is more fitted to be in like moron assault victim. She's quite obviously an idiot* and doesn't deserve to be propped up as anyone's "idol", but I guess idiots can relate to idiots, no?

*Abused victims loving their abusers is twisted and needs some mental help - do the research

reply

The amount of hatred here towards Rihanna is kind of unsettling and I seriously think also that a lot of people commenting here just don't like her as an artist and feel that it gives them a right to single her out in this movie. (I'm a 23 yr old male and I don't listen to her at all outside of what I hear on the radio, so I have no bias here).

I'm shocked to see people saying that her role was terrible in this ridiculous heap of a movie. Her part was ridiculous. She shouldn't have been running around doing everything she was doing at once. Having said that, her dialogue was far superior to most of the other people in the film. I thought she pulled off tough navy chick pretty well with what she was given. Better than the emotionless girlfriend, or the obnoxiously whiny communications nerd.

I thought she delivered most of her lines better than a lot of lines by Taylor Kitsch (sp?) and she was certainly head and shoulders above the guy who was steering the ship and talked about his pet lizard. Every time I'd be interested in what was happening, this guy would come along spouting yet another horrible, gag-inducing piece of dialogue that would suck me out of the movie and was completely unnecessary.

We all know this wasn't a good movie. It was definitely sloppy with a very simple plot that wasn't entirely cohesive. But you people think that Rihanna is the one person that did horrible? Open your eyes, she was one of the best characters (considering the lazy material she had to work with).

reply

just in case my opinion is getting confused with "Hating" someone, I don't hate rhianna or anyone. saying she is a ho, miscast, and a self abusing victim is simply stating known facts. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore
she knowingly, and apparently without regret, SELLS sex (in fantasy form) to underage children via music. ANY woman can sink to that level and be successful - many have, many do. That does not make her "talented". I know 10 girls right now that are as talented as her without being a ho. I don't hate her, I wish her the best. Seems being a whore is what she is best at. Simple fact, not hate. OR maybe I am not understanding exactly what a ho is? It's in the dictionary.
this movie was not good, and her perfect makeup and digitally cleaned up pretty face didn't help it. therefore, it hurt it.

reply

Apparently you "hate" most women in show biz period. If Rihanna is a whore, then Nicky Minaj, Alicia Keys, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc.etc. are all whores. Most actresses are whores as you call them. They do nude scenes. Most of Rihanna fans around the world are young women, same with most of the other artists. Yes, sex sells, that's why every artist does it. It's ironic that Rihanna, who you claim is a whore, looked like a member of the Navy while the "hot" blonde was the typical bombshell.
Rihanna has made history since the beginning of her career. Most artists have come and gone, she is still here and making history. She has talent, otherwise she'd be a one hit wonder like most of the other artists who are long gone. She must be doing something right.
I've seen the movie, it's OK, liked it more than all the Transformers movies and on par with Independence Day. I am not even a Rihanna fan, but she did an acceptable job in her first role. Brooklyn Decker, on the other hand, will be forgotten soon.

reply

Exactly. This guy babbling on about the type of person she is (confirming my earlier hunch) has zero to do with movie, nor would this movie have sucked any less were she not in it.

no,, sorry,, she wasn't even remotely good. Not trying to be mean, but I thought her part and her acting were both bad

Loved this movie, good fun, but wondered how Rhianna's cap stayed on all the time throughout the film ...?
