Trailer for Peter Berg's "Battleship" Took a Few Lessons From Michael Bay
I'm not sure I remember the old Battleship board game involving giant aliens and Ra's Al Ghul, but whatevs. When it comes to writing, board games don't typically offer very good material. A Monopoly movie would probably make everyone stop caring about it around 4 or 5 hours in. However, Peter Berg seems to have taken a page out of Michael Bay's playbook: if your movie is guaranteed to suck, then just toss in as many explosions and alien-metal-screeching sounds as possible
