Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

A melodramatic and ham-handed attempt to marry modern, gritty war-movie memes with the incoherent grandeur of Independence Day and its ilk. It steals wholesale from more serious works like Saving Private Ryan and it bludgeons with half baked emotional stereotypes. A big fat suck.

  1. Nougat_Jesus Maybe the moral of the story is, don't see a film if you know it will suck, because if you like it anyway, you will hate yourself. I still haven't seen Titanic. Not that I'd like it . . . just in case.

  2. aaron Probably a wise move. I don't know what's wrong with people; Titanic was a fine movie! I don't even get why I'm SUPPOSED to hate it.

  3. ross My biggest gripe about Titanic is that there wasn't more Bill Paxton.

  7. ross My professional relationship with Mr. Keaton has absolutely nothing to do with the opinions that I share here on the Burnreel. Regardless of how talented, charming, attractive or charismatic he may be.

  8. Nougat_Jesus And here I thought that Mr. Keaton was a poor man's Mr Hanks...
