Summary: Overcriticized
Review: Ok,it is not the best plot out there,it is not perfectly acted (especially Liv Tyler,who didn't even act) and there are many logical errors in the script.Also too many American flags in the movie,as if it is trying to convince us that if the world needs to be saved one day,you know who would do it for you...(that is the usual case with Bruckheimer movies,I haven't seen one without a flag on it yet.Even in "gone in 60 seconds" he could put one somewhere in Cage's office)But as the producer Bruckheimer repeatedly says,he makes movies to entertain people and Armageddon does it perfectly.And as it is said in the booklet of the DVD,it is very well directed really,with an amazing visual style..Michael Bay is the perfect director for this kind of movies,he really delivers (in The Rock as well) The extras,are not bad but I would say there could be more deleted scenes.The music video and stroy boards are very good. I recommend this DVD if you are not looking for a very suspenseful story and great acting but if you are a fan of disaster movies.As a matter of fact it is one of the best disaster movies ever..

Summary: Incredibly, Outrageously, Unbelievably Horrible
Review: Well, well, well. If it isn't another disaster: the earth's gonna be blown up send-up. I've seen some weak, undeveloping, boring, unexplained movies in my hayday, but this one is far worse than anything I've ever seen. There isn't one element in this entire movie that wasn't COMPLETELY misdone: the characters bicker and are annoying to watch, they are all different and act like real dumbies. Steve Buscemi is annoying and does nothing for the plot. The plot jumps back and forth and there are about 25-30 small scenes and lines that make me wonder if this movie was made to be stupid. They get so irrelevant. The heroes get on a shuttle and save the world in a wink of time. I hate how it had to show them go through basic training and it showed all of their personal lives to make this end up being three hours almost. The music is terrible, too. Real terrible. When the characters act serious, you just sit there and say "Yeah whatever" because it is so boring and unmoving that you know noone cares. Worst movie ever. No exaggeration.

Summary: Stunningly awful
Review: In the days of Laserdisk, Criterion was selective about the titles they released. If you hadn't heard of the movie, but it was out on Criterion, you at least knew the film was worth the deluxe treatment they gave it. Apparently those days are long past. This film makes "The Poseidon Adventure" look like "Citizen Kane." The dialog ("He's got space dementia...") makes "Showgirls" sound like Shakespear. As with "Showgirls," it might be worth renting to laugh at (not with) the filmmakers, but for God's sake don't spend more than... on it.

Summary: Definite must for the DVD Library.
Review: This Movie is a keeper. In True Bruckheimer fashion this movie explodes at the beginning and just keeps going. On DVD it is even better! Disk 1 is your basic DVD with the movie and preferences. Disk 2 Is the Supplemental Disk with outtakes, a gag reel full of chuckles, Special Effects, and deleted scenes. I had absolutely no problem with this selection and it is well worth owning.

Summary: I was little bit disapointed.
Review: This film has many good cast and sound. But this storyline is poor , makes me angry. I think this film makes audience a figure of fun. That's all.

Summary: A blockbuster? Why?
Review: Micheal Bay has yet to direct a movie of any kind worth, he directed The Rock and Bad Boys, both mediocre movies at best. But this third one, Armegeddon takes the cake. A special effects/action movie, which it's special effects are the only reason to watch, no matter how horribly acted it is. To see any charcter development, watch something else. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and Liv Tyler star in this movie. The talented Steve Buscemi should have turned it down. He is much too talented to waste his time with this. Anyway, a group of people go up to destroy the meteor the size of the state of Texas. Of course, it ends with an ending that is supposed to touch your heart, but I could have cared less, although I did laugh when Bruce Willis' character dies. It doesn't surprise me, actually, that this was a blockbuster smash, because the only thing people want to see anymore is special effects or idiotic comedies, refer to all the Adam Sandler movies. Any movie with a plot you will see not many people will go watch. GRADE: D

Summary: Are They Going To Make A Sequel?
Review: It made me feel sad and some times scared when I saw this movie! Sometimes it scared the bones out of me! From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed The Rock comes the biggest movie of 1998 - Armageddon! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis, Academy Award winners Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi and Will Patton, Armageddon is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe! When NASA's executive director, Dan Trauman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option - land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling and heartfelt emotion make Armageddon an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow. The disc includes Aerosmith's MTV award-winning music video, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing."

Summary: Why do people like this junk?
Review: This could be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The writing and characters were so WEAK, that even some cool special effects couldn't make me enjoy this junk. I was surprised by Ben Affleck's lack of real acting ability, and was really hoping he would be one of the ones to die in the end. Why do movies like this make so much money??? Is the American viewing public really that simple-minded that a movie lacking any real substance could be this popular? It's discouraging that the answer is apparently 'yes'. Skip this one if you have any sort of taste whatsoever.

Summary: A fun popcorn movie
Review: Off the bat, this isn't a movie that's going to challenge you intellectually. However, it is a lot of fun, and features breathtaking special effects. The acting is solid; none of actors take the movie more seriously than they should, and as a result, give performances perfect for this kind of summer blockbuster. Are they over the top? Absolutely, but it only adds to the fun of the film! It's like watching "The Dirty Dozen" in outerspace. The Criterion edition of the film on DVD does offer a lot of nice features. In particular, the directors cut of the film offers some much needed heart. However, it's awfully pricey, and if I hadn't received it as a gift, I doubt I would own it today. Still, for a big fan of the movie, or a serious DVD collector, it's probably a good buy.

Summary: Wonderful piece of artwork
Review: An asteroid the size of Texas is about to hit Earth and kill us like it killed the dinosaurs. The world's hope rests on the backs of a group of the best oil drillers in the world. They must drill into the asteroid, drop a bomb, and get away before the explosion. Although I do not consider this film a classic, it is still an amazing movie which everyone should watch. The music and special effects are top-notch and the plot keeps you on your toes throughout the entire film. The movie goes off on several storylines but never gets boring and never shies away from the main goal. If you want a good film for Friday night, or whenever, Armageddon should be one of your first choices.
