Rating: Summary: Lame movie. Great special effects. Review: This is one of the lamest movies I have seen. Lame story. Lame acting. Lame actors. Willis at his worse. Tyler should stay being famous because of her father and give up her acting career before we all see how lame she can really be. The only saving quality of this movie is the special effects and they are great. I give it 2 stars based on this fact and only this fact. If you are like me and enjoy watching movies for the sfx then you will like this. If you are deeper and need a good story, pass this one--with a wide gap.
Rating: Summary: HOW STUPID!!! Review: I fell asleep during this movie. My friend thought that I should see it because it was so good, but I thought it was pointless. The scenes hardley ever changed, and throughout the whole movie there were only like two good jokes
Rating: Summary: Best DVD I've seen so far! Review: I must admit that the story is O.K. in this film.. but as the director mentions in his commentary he wasn't trying to make Shakespeare In Love... with that said I think it's a fun movie to watch. As far as this Criterion verion goes it's amazing. The audio is superb, the commentary tracks are great and enjoyable to listen to, the supplements are good and the menus are really great! I would recommend picking this DVD up just to show off everything your fancy new player can do! (minus angles! hahaha)
Rating: Summary: Slick, Hip and Cool Review: This film inspired me. . . Seeing something so awful leaves hope that anybody can make a movie. Now I am positive it isn't talent. . .It's who you know. Other than this. . .Should anybody be impressed with this poor excuse of a movie? The writing was embarassing. What plot? Unbelievable characters sounded and acted more like street wise punks recruited to save the world. (Let's face it, this movie was made as an excuse to do special effects). The acting was pitiful, too. Maybe this wasn't the actors fault. Casting couldn't have been any worse. I had never seen such a bunch of miscasts in all my life. That young woman (whose name escapes me like the purpose of this movie does) was not credible at all as the kiss-ass, wise-talking dame she was supposed to be. The words that spewed from the characters mouths were incredibly trite and boring. It's like the filmmakers were into being cool than having a good story to tell. Rate this movie a big, fat zero.
Rating: Summary: A Fantastic Movie!!! Review: This is a very entertaining movie. The Criterion Collection DVD is full of special features. It is a must-have DVD.
Rating: Summary: Great demo DVD Review: I love this movie and welcomed its arrival on DVD. The second disc is great with it's Gag reel etc. Also the commentaries and dolby digital 5.1 soundtrack on the main disc were really good. My only reservations are i) Why is in not anamorphic? ii) Where are the extra 9 minutes? All I could spot were a couple of scenes showing and talking about Harry's father. Surely this isn't it?
Rating: Summary: this movie is loud, over the top, and fun!!! Review: this movie delivers EXACTLY what it promises! dazzling efx, great sound, and a lot of thrills. if the idea of an asteroid "whooshing" through space turns you off then you need to sell your dvd player and watch the learning channel for excitement!
Rating: Summary: If you want an Armageddon DVD, GET THIS ONE ITS WORTH IT! Review: I really enjoyed watching the first edition DVD of Armageddon, but when I bought Armageddon: Criterion Collection I realized it just didn't compare. The Criterion Collection added all the things that a true movie buff likes: -Production Notes -Storyboards -Commentaries -Gag reals -THE DIRECTOR'S CUT!!!!!! The gag real alone is worth the extra money. If you would like a taste, try this one for size. The real line was: (Billy Bob Thornton's Voice) "We bring the world's best deep core driller." The gag real line is: (Billy Bob Thorton's Voice) "We bring in Bruce Willis, the best deep core driller in my a##." The rest you'll have to see for yourself. I guarantee that it is well worth it.
Rating: Summary: WOW What a DVD...This makes it a better movie!! Review: This version is amazing! This DVD really makes this movie much better! The extra scenes are very interesting and informative! The extra audio channels are AMAZING Bruce Willis, Michael Bay and Jerry Brucheimer are o.k...BUT Ben Afleck is hilarious!! His commentary is worth the price of the DVD! It is like being with your friend while he Goofs on the unrealistic aspects of the movie! It took guts for him to be as candid as he is, it is unbelievably refreshing!
Rating: Summary: Waste of Time Review: It is so sad that there were so many great DVD features wasted on this stupid film. I wish they would have put this much effort into the truly great films on DVD like Taxi Driver, Annie Hall, Bulworth, and many more not to mention all the great films not available on DVD at all. Sad comment on what the public watches.
