That a studio actually followed through on the threat of making a film based on a board game, or that they spent a rumored $200 million to bring it to the big screen, is bad enough.
But, Hollywood making a game into a film isn't really that shocking. It hasn't been for some time; not since they made Clue (1985). It's even less surprising in light of the current state of remake and reboot-heavy Hollywood. For instance, they're remaking Clue, currently set to be released sometime in 2013.
It's just... Battleship looks completely awful. I have no interesting in seeing this, especially after watching the new trailer released today by Universal.
