American Warships

There can be many bad things to say about the film after watching Act of Valor and Battleship over the past few months. To list a few: stereo type navy seals, poor CGI and special effect, inaccurate uniform on non-essential roles, poor research on weapon systems on board...etc. However given the lack of budget for this movie it is an understandably foreseeable outcome.

Overall I think it can be worst, especially if you have seen Moby Dick (2010) in the past. At least the movie is shooting on board the real battleship rather than some mock up set inside a studio. For that I'd given the movie an extra star.

Rating 2/10. Pretty bad movie, special effect and storyline, however at least you get to see the real Iwoa Class Battleship.

It's a shame you can't give less than 1/10, because this is the biggest steaming pile of guano I've seen in a long time (and I just watched "No Body Found).

Appalling cliché-ridden script, pathetic acting, woeful special effects, about the only thing that I can guarantee if you watch this is that it will probably make your eyes and ears bleed.

As others have, it was obviously knocked together to try and get some business of the back of "Battleship", but the budget for that was $200 million. There's actually no budget for this on IMDb, perhaps they're too embarrassed to say just how cheap it was to make, because I've seen film students make better quality material.

Avoid at all costs.

This, I laughingly use the term "film", is a disgrace to the Iowa class Battleship!!! There is nothing special about the special effects. I have seen cartoons with better story lines. The acting was a joke, and the director....director, couldn't direct a grade school play let alone a movie. The only positive in this fiasco was some shots of the USS Iowa from the air. There were some very nice shots of the historical battle wagon. The only reason this movie was made was to advertise the fact that the "Big Stick" is on her way to being turned into a museum. Though i am not sure that making a terrible film was the best way to get that point out to the general public. But what can you do?

In all of my stupidity, I thought this was the big motion picture that was out in the cinema so I bough the DVD. Honestly, I have seen a lot of movies, some better then others, but this is the biggest crap ever. Even the gunshots are fake and the actors move their guns back and forth like they shoot and CGI is added later to make it look like they fire it....

I had a deja vu feeling back when the movie "The day the earth stood still" came out and in the same year that awful rip off "e Day the Earth Stopped" appeared. Same thing as this, only 4 years later. The pure waste of money that went into this.....

An alarm bell should have gone off when I saw the cast line up.....all formerly successful movie stars that are looking to score another buck....regardless the script. Shame on them.

when I saw that Mario Peebles was in this film I expected it to be rubbish.

And that is exactly what I got. Poor, no, very poor special affects. I have done better making my own special affects on the pc, in fact I would say that most readers could.

If you watch this film then you must really have nothing to do..

This is certainly a time waste movie. Cardboard acting.

Heed this warning. Do not waste your time watching this.....

I am still getting over how bad it all was. even the jet scene looks like it was super imposed.

lol I will be amazed if someone gives this film more than a 5/10
