Because 2012 wouldn't be complete without two movies featuring Taylor Kitsch and aliens, here comes "Battleship."

Based on the board game -- and produced by Hasbro, the folks behind "Transformers" -- "Battleship" stars your favorite "Friday Night Lights" fullback as a rebellious naval officer thrust into a battle with a bunch of mean extra terrestrials. Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard co-star, but what you really care about is Rihanna. Er, the massive explosions, epic scope and seemingly awesome special effects.

Peter Berg, doing his best Michael Bay impression, directs. "Battleship" hits theaters on May 18. Add your own "Battleship"-related joke in the comments below.

Nothing that I in the Super Bowl commercials made me wasnt to buy any of the advertisers' products or services. Perhaps that was not their real purpose; rather their commercials were intended to be momuments to their own vanity (stupidity.)

ahh now see? If you were an American Citizen making that claim, it might hold water, but it appears you've used very bad translation software to write this post. Your first sentence doesn't even make sense.

You could make another board game theme movie called "RISK." In it leaders with (mental) ages 9-14 attack anyone in sight and think that all the nations of the Arabian Penninsula and the levant are collectively one country. It could star Bush.

Those round, bouncing, exploding thingies look like the balls from an old IBM Selectric typewriter.

If you really want to turn a board game into a Horror Story why not make a movie about the way that banks and investment banks were allowed to merge after 2000 and destroy the economy while making their executives billionaires. You could calll it - hmmmmmm- I dunno...oh yeah! MONOPOLY.

Any aliens who have mastered interstellar travel but can be beaten with large naval surface units developed in the 19th century and perfected at the end of WW2 really didn't pose that much of a threat at all. Now, did they? By the way, Liam. Really? Dude, realllllly? the talking lion was bad enough. But at least that was C.S. Lewis. Believe it or not, the United States Navy has a real history filled with sacrafice, heroism, innovation and honor. Why is it that we have to celebrate that with a Board Game made into a sci fi film? I understand the role of fantasy films. But do they have to keep being about fighting, robots and aliens?

Michael Bay called: he wants his Transformers back. That's all I see with those giant spinning things. I'm waiting for them to transform.

I think Battleship looks good! I'll go see it. At least the aliens don't appear to have tentacles. I am so sick of every single movie alien having friggin' tentacles.

My favorite was The Thing, which featured this screaming, flailing creature with, of course, friggin' tentacles that couldn't even tie shoelaces, and YET it was from a race (of presumably similarly be-tentacled creatures) that could build a huge, sophisticated interstellar transport.
