Summary: Bleeeech!
Review: The movie was so hysterical I thought I'd never see a worse dog--until I went to see that lil' ole cutie-pie, will smith in the biggest dog of them all, Wild Wild West. Armagaddeon was junk from the first frame to the end. Even worse was the music video which showed crazy-faced Steve Tyler (father of that wondrous actress, Liv Tyler) rolling all over the stage and shrieking how he "wakes up to hear your breathing." Oh, brother, has he got a problem. I'm so sick of seeing Bruce Willis' smirking, sneering mug. I wish someone had smashed a bannana cream pie into his face during his big moments. Ben Affleck should have taken off his clothes to give us all a little entertainment. One idea: merge Armagaddeon with this summer's big bomb, Phantom Menace and see what comes up. A nuclear bomb of inconceivable size.

Summary: The worst movie I've ever paid to see
Review: It's been a year so I'm fuzzy on some details of the "plot" but I vividly remember how awful this was, even embarrassing to watch. I know very little about physics but I knew the "science" was bogus. More problems: 1. Drunk Russian stereotype - yeah, he's smart enough to be an astronaut but even their scientists are vodka-swilling boozehounds. 2. Willis chases Affleck with shotgun after finding B.A. in bed with L.Tyler; so unfunny and another movie cliche 3. Fire on asteroid? No oxygen for it to burn. 4. No bomb can blow up asteroid that big 5. They become astronauts after a few weeks training. 6. Bruce Willis' presence. 7. Yet more stereotypes: Fat guy, big black guy, goofy yet smart little guy, etc. You know the routine. 8. NASA people incompetent; stand around and let an oil driller run show. 9. Love scene between LT and BA 10.Aerosmith soundtrack. Don't always dislike them, but these songs were crappy. 11....ad infinitum: The bad science I mentioned earlier. I wish a real asteroid had hit the set when they were shooting this. Absolutely horrific. Appalling. I was so embarrassed to be watching this movie. Please, spare yourself the torture.

Summary: Houston, we really have a problem
Review: Probably the worst film in 1998, Armageddon was one thrill-killed ride. There were so many fast camera jerks in the film that I could hardly see what and where the action was. While Armageddon boasts some pretty good special effects, the movie's storyline and dialogue spoils the entire film that not even the special effects make up for it. What was Michael Bay thinking?
Rating:
Summary: Armageddon really tired of this movie
Review: Firstly, (I honestly do not know where to begin) even Ed Wood could imagine a more cogent film than this cerebral fodder. I must admit, I am more upset that the film was even made, simply having Hollywood cash in on people's fears of the supposed 'end times' is bad enough, but if this is how you profit from it, at least make it entertaining and thoughtful enough to not feel like a lobotomy. Enough, Bruce, enough.

Summary: Great special Effects, no plot
Review: The special effects in this movie is really amazing but that's all the movie is about. But i knew what to expect before i saw this movie so i really enjoyed it.

Summary: Another miss for director Michael Bay
Review: It happened in his film "The Rock" and it happened now; he thinks that if he blows up enough stuff, people will think they got their moneys worth. Bay just over does his movies plain and simple. Every five and a half minutes something either explodes, someone yells, or something breaks down(and I'm not exagerating, actualy try watching this movie with a stop watch and it happens approximately every 6 min). The acting? Well, Willis is good with the right director (Tarantino PULP FICTION), but here I just got bored watching his slowmotion dramatic eye glances, Buscemi's snaggletoothed gring, Tyler's doe-eyed pouting, folks, do yourselves a favor and stick a fork in this one.

Summary: An action-packed tearjerker!
Review: I've watched this movie over and over and I never get bored with it! It has everything- action, romance, drama, great special effects, even comedy. I know the plot is a little far-fetched, but that doesn't stop me from becoming totally engrossed in it (and I cry every time I see it, too!) The actors chosen for the movie are wonderful- they seem to fit their roles perfectly. It probably doesn't hurt that Ben Affleck is really easy on the eyes, but beyond that he's talented too. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good action flick.

Summary: a review by freya and tammy
Review: Tammy says this movie's awesome. She's a big fan of Bruce Willis and the dark skinned man(Bear), with the big wrench. I did not like this movie as much as Deep Impact, but that's because I saw Deep Impact first. No complaints about Armeggedon though. It was well written and acted out. I own this movie, and watch it every time I need some action. Just kidding. It's still a really good movie. Go buy or rent this movie. Tammy and I promise that you won't be disappointed.

Summary: One of the worst blockbusters of them all...
Review: I must refer you to the quite poignant comments by the Washington, D.C. customer enterered here earlier on June 30. I couldn't say it better. This movie is simply a step away from a farce. Folks-- just because it sells more tickets doens't make it a good movie. The people that like this drivel are the same folk that call "Shakespeare in Love" a best picture. (Shakespeare was a good film, but hardly worthy of the greatest honor--but that's another rant) Try watching a movie that requires the use of your brain.

Summary: I feel generous giving it one star.
Review: What terrible, inane waste of time this movie was. I saw this movie while visiting friends in Texas. I had a deep premonition that I did not want to see this movie, and I wish they had listen to my intuition. Unfortunatly majority ruled and I was forced to sit in a hot, muggy theater being tortured by this film. What an insult to the intelligence of the public! The story was completely unbelievable. We are all aware that it takes several years of intelligence and traing to be an astronaut. People are not allowed to wander around NASA and participate in highly sophisticated settings. The script was unimaginative and juevenile. I was so fed-up with Liv Tyler wandering around NASA with a stupid pouty expression. Bruce Willis is a joke. I was disappointed to see that Steve Buscemi had participated in such a mediocre film. The only good thing about this movie was staring at Ben Affleck. Now I didn't say he did a good job, I just like looking at him. I was so happy when I finally had to make a visit to the restroom so I could get away from the movie. I was so disappointed when I returned to my seat to discover that the Earth hadn't blown-up, or NASA, or anything for that matter. PLEASE AMERICA1 DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY OR VALUABLE TIME ON THIS DISASTER!
