Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Battleship is a sound vessel floating in Hollywood's oil-slick sea of "Transformers" sequels and vampire riffs.

Village Voice - Nick Pinkerton
And when the F-14s came out for a triumphant flyover, I looked around the room to find the moron who was applauding only to realize that it was me.

The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Those looking for big, loud sci-fi action will find plenty to like here as director Peter Berg (Hancock, Friday Night Lights) pumps up the volume on clashing military hardware and flag-waving heroics.

Arizona Republic - Bill Goodykoontz
The movie drags on way too long, but there are things to like.
50
Variety - Unnamed
Overlong and underwritten even by the standards of summer f/x extravaganzas, this Battleship will nonetheless float with many on the strength of its boyish, eager-to-please razzle-dazzle.
