Too much patriotism for my liking!!

Ever play the Hasbro game Battleship? With all the little white and red pegs that show hits and misses on a sea of blue that resembles a radar screen? Well believe it or not this is all incorporated into 'Battleship The Movie' . Cliched patriotic cheese and without spoiling the ending.. Un bearable US patriotic cheese!! I will give the film it's dues however as it had it's moments, where even i was like ok that was cool if only the rest of the film could've been as good we would have a real contender for the best movie of 2012 list. Not a bad cast i might say with Taylor Kitsch playing our cheif hero in this a much better performance then when he portrayed John Carter in that earlier dreadful film.
Round off the rest of the cast with Liam Neeson, Rihanna (In her not so flattering theatrical debut) the cast were not the problem here. the movie itself was. Is it something myself and my fellow Canadians are missing here as to why we are not so freaking patriotic? If this same kinda thing bothers you then by all means pass on seeing this one. However if you are a fan of eye popping CGI much of like what was presented in The Transformers films, then by all means step right up!!
