I can't believe Universal would risk $200 million on this pictures while saying no to Del Toro's At the Mountain of Madness.Liam_Honoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-84215162840577802312011-07-27T11:19:05.348-07:002011-07-27T11:19:05.348-07:00I have to be honest. I've actually been pretty...I have to be honest. I've actually been pretty excited about this movie, ever since I heard they just randomly threw aliens into it. Normally, that would not grab my interest, but I'm hoping and praying that this makes it the spiritual successor to the recent G.I. Joe film. With that movie, I skipped it in the theater because I thought it just looked like a Transformers cash-in. Later, I was at a rental store and they were playing it on TV and simply hearing the dialogue from the end of the movie won me over and I had to watch it. My girlfriend and I had one of the greatest movie experiences we've ever had because G.I. Joe was just so over-the-top campy and silly-hilarious. "We just shot the missile headed for Moscow!" "Thank God!" And I will never forget when we both screamed "Childhood friend ninjas!" after Snake Eyes' backstory turned out to be so funny. I think that's what the filmmakers were going for. It was supremely fun. I hope Battleship enjoys the same tone.Seannoreply@blogger.com
