Summary: The worst film I've seen on DVD
Review: Was this movie made just to display what they are capable of doing with modern special effects? It was just a predictable, macho, brainless, overly patriotic waste of film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad Bruce strikes again
Review: Sorry, but I have to list this as one of the worst films I have ever seen. I enjoy action movies (even bad James Bond films) as much as the next person but I was cringing at the dialogue, the acting, the cardboard, macho posturing, the cheesy music score, the one-dimensional characters (does Liv Tyler do anything but look vague and pouty?). This is one of those Bad Bruce movies. You know, there's the good Bruce (The Sixth Sense) and then there's......this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: I remember seeing this movie when it first came out and I was totally enthralled the whole time. The plot was totally believable and scary especially knowing such disaster could very well happen. The one thing that disappointed me was the fact that they had 250 feet to go in a half hour and not only did they make it they had 10 minutes left. The movie completely skipped what happened in that time period and neglects to provide realism in what happens then. The movie did bring me to tears as Bruce Willis takes the place of his daughter's finace and seeing him scream "I love you!" to him and to add to it, the emotional goodbye between father and daughter. I will cry everytime I see this movie! It is rare to find such an action-packed movie that will also bring you to tears! Its a must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF, IF NOT THE, BEST MOVIES EVER
Review: I WATCH THIS MOVIE ON THE AVERAGE OF ONCE A WEEK, KNOW EVERY SINGLE LINE, AND STILL CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT! EVERY ASPECT OF THIS FILM IS GREAT, NO MATTER WHAT PART YOU ARE TALKIN ABOUT-THE SPECIAL EFFECTS, ACTING, PLOT, MUSIC, EVERYTHING-U NAME IT, IT WAS GREAT! IF ANYBODY SO MUCH AS SAYS ONE NEGATIVE WORD ABOUT THIS FILM IT IS JUST PROOF THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Digging for a plot
Review: This movie is so painfully predictable that the only reason to rent it is to see Liv Tyler. Not for just the obvious reasons ;) but because she really does have acting talent. It's just too bad she got her debut in a flop.

If you want to see a far better asteroid movie, get "Deep Impact." It hits way harder!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is one awful film
Review: I do not understand why so many people love this film. I know of no other movie in which absolutely no one acts or speaks like actual human beings. If you are forced to suffer through it, notice how everyone speaks in sound bites followed by an edit. I also really wonder how it took Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler so long to get to Washington in order to be briefed on the asteroid, but in the same amount of time, all of the riggers were able to travel the globe. I could go on and on about the implausibility of the film's "plot," but why bother. You'll just have to trust me when I say that I would rather gaze into a full toilet than be sickened by watching this awful mess again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suspence Is In.......For Two Hours
Review: Okay, I admit, you do remember seeing something like this. I think it was called Deep Impact. If you want rough neck action, spectacular special effects, and a little something for the ladies, check out Barney. Then Armageddon. Be warned, you may wet your pants.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sheesh, people!
Review: This movie is not worth the heated debate that it has been getting: it's average. Yes, it's a little thin on plot in places, yes, the characters are not exactly literary classics, yes, it's horribly predictable, and yes, I think my 89-year-old Grandma has a better grasp of science than the Michael Bay. Still, this movie isn't horrible. The special effects are spectacular, Thorton is his usual good self, and Bruce Willis really isn't bad at all (actually, I thought his reflections and prayers while on the asteroid were the best part of the movie). Affleck and Tyler's characters will no go down as the new Romeo and Juliet, but some of their scenes are cute. So, come on people, reserve the heated comments for films that deserve it. See Armageddon if you want to be entertained, but not if you want to see cinema.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie of 1998
Review: Armageddon was hands down the best movie of 1998! I loved the story line. It grabbed me and pulled me in until the final scene. You would not expect to cry at the end of an action movie, but I could not help but have tears of pride and relief (every time I watch it!). The special effects were incredible. Ben and Bruce are not bad to look at either. The title song made the movie for me too. Everytime I hear it, I want to see the movie again. The "other" astroid movie cannot even compare to Armageddon. Armageddon is a must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I'm leaving on a jet plane to catch this movie
Review: Great action and cinematography. Bruce Willas was superb. Ving Rahames at his best. Steve Buscemi made the film that much more enjoyable. Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler supplied enough plot to make the movie enjoyable for woman. In all the movie was far fetched but well worth watching. One hell of a show on DVD.
