Blu-Ray Review: ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ Falls Well Below Expectations
Submitted by BrianTT on June 27, 2011 - 2:21pmCHICAGO – With “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” about to hit theaters and get the adrenalin flowing for major city destruction from another planet, you may be tempted to catch up with Jonathan Liebesman’s “Battle: Los Angeles” for a similar dose of macho male escapism. Don’t fall for it. This is an annoying movie that fails on nearly every level.
Film Review: Loud, Annoying ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ Fails in Spectacular Ways

CHICAGO – It used to be an insult to say that a loud action movie reminded a critic of a video game. The fact is that most recent video games feature better storytelling and more entertainment value than the horrendous “Battle: Los Angeles,” an annoying movie with such inept direction that it’s not even fun on a visceral level. Even the explosions are boring.
