Battleship (2012) **
If they wanted to show – SPOILER AHEAD - the battleship “Missouri” firing a broadside, they probably should have made a film about the naval battle of Okinawa in 1945, rather than a science-fiction flick about an alien invasion of Hawaii during the Obama administration. And considering that the “Mighty Mo” last served in battle during the 1991 Gulf War, it wasn't such a big stretch to imagine it – SPOILER AHEAD - brought back to service to save humanity from total annihilation. However, “Battleship” is still way better than any of the “Transformers” movies.
