It isn’t difficult to understand that split: the trailer briefly introduces a few characters includingTaylor Kitschas a brash young officer under the command ofLiam Neesonas he courts his superior’s daughter, played byBrooklyn Decker. It then launches into a condensed sequence from the film, with giant alien ships, a whole lot of digital effects and even the signature pegs that have been part of the tabletop Battleship game since its inception....

Patty Jenkins Is “Super Grateful” She Didn’t End Up Directing ‘Thor: The Dark World’ 2013’sThor: The Dark Worldis widely regarded as one of the worst movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s currently the lowest-rated MCU film on Rotten Tomatoes, even coming up short of 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk. (That’s genuinely impressive!)
