Pros: Nice Story!

Cons: Some Action Scenes

Aramgeddon was a great movie for the time it was made and even for some years after! but it looked poor after some more years and now!
I really like the Aerosmith theme song on the movie!

Armageddon

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 1, 2006

Pros: sci-fi

Cons: not credible and really irritating soundtrack

Not only is this the worst kind of low credibility Hollywood BS and a waste of CGI, the thing that drove me NUTS was the dirgy soundtrack which dragged along it's muddy, depressing, dynamicless unrelenting way COMPLETELY REGARDLESS of what action was happening. Sounded as if it was written by someone (yeah I know) who had never seen a movie and has only ever written midi music. Complete torture.

fantastic film.

Fancy movie but outdated science

An asteroid the size of Texas - if such a thing existed and was coming directly towards Earth, we could sit here and wait for the big splash. No amount of nukes available on the planet would be able to put it off track. There'd be 18 days to get right with God.
Some months ago a rock the size of a tennis field passed between Moon and Earth and was discovered only afterwards. A direct hit would have sufficed to wipe out a minor country like Switzerland and make world economy grind to a full stop.
Never mind. The movie presents fast moving action and a romance, cool special effects, and that's in the end all you can ask for from a SciFi, isn't it?

Armageddon

Panned by liberal reviewers (who do not like conservative Bruce Willis), Armageddon is the
perfect action film. It's also a real tear-jerker, and has some of the funniest lines in recent memory.

worst movie ever

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 5, 2002

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Absolutely terrible. Ben Affleck must have been drunk when he agreed to this project. The only redeeming quality was Steve Buscemi's role - the comic relief provided some intended laughs - however, most of the laughs came from Affleck's and Liv Tyler's poor acting. The low point of the movie was in the love scene where the equally poor and uninspired Aerosmith song come in. Also, Bruce Willis gave a very half-a**ed performance for a very big paycheck. I vowed never to see Pearl Harbor after this. I wish I could give it no stars.

Very, very funny

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 1, 2002

This film is just a joke. Not by its own means but its almost ironic. Drill on a comet chewing gum and secrificing urself, if not talking with dumb russians, as they are, ofcource. This is what u do when ure american and rescuing the world! If ure daughter having fun with someone u work with, u most blow his head of with a shotgun, because thats what a man should do! But sooner that u could guess, u will come up with the idea of killing urself to let the guy live. Ure daughter gets mad, but WTF ure dead, right? And The US government decides to send up the best drillers, because they are otherwise very boring (look at the guy who comes up with the idea), and this would make them feel better! Why drillers? The only thing the americans can do good was to drill, atleast director couldnt think of something else.

// I cant believe anyone could possible rank it as a 5. Because someone put money on the special effects, its a good movie? The script SUCKS and the director Michael Bay is the dumbest director ever. I could write better than this! Its sooooooooooooooooooooo funny.

Exelente

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 10, 2002

Bueno desde que le vi las sinopsis en el cine, dije que era una buena pelicula, cuando sali, WOW fue exelente, los efectos especiales, la lluvia de meteoritos al inicio , genial, tiene accion desde el principio al final, una gran pelicula con grandes actuaciones...

That's no moon...

With "Armageddon" the takeover of Hollywood by ADD-riddled accountants is complete. Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay have given moviegoers nothing more than a two hour clip show, complete with rapid fire editing, a continuous pop soundtrack, and barely enough plot or dialogue to distract a targeted audience weaned on hours of MTV.
Of course, you know the plot. One big mother of a comet is sailing through the galaxy at us, thus giving the bugs another shot at taking over the world after, upon impact, we go the way of the dinosaur. Only Bruce Willis, and his team of trusty character actors - Will Patton, Owen Wilson, Steve Buscemi, and others - can save Dear Mother Earth by drilling a hole in the comet, inserting a nuclear weapon, and blowing it to bits. Of course, it's never as easy as the instructions make it sound and trouble ensues for the team as they try to beat the clock, insert the device, and save Home.
Having figured that out, then you're miles ahead of the screenplay in figuring out how the pieces come together. Such as who will live, who will die, and who will be left sitting on the comet with the nuclear detenator in his lap manually triggering the device, thus saving the world as we know it.
My tally? Cute guys live, ugly fellas perish heroically.
This is a bewildering piece of pop filmmaking; it's ugly to look at, earsplittingly loud to listen to, and devoid of any moment of individual thought and/or creativity. I was rooting for the comet.

This is the Best Movie on the planet

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 13, 2001

This is the best movie on the planet. I have it on DVD and it rocks!! The special effects are teh best. I have seen this movie over and over. Armageddon is the best movie on the planet. If you don't have it you should get it.

Oh c'mon! A horrible movie.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 12, 2001

A comet the size of Texas? C'mon! I mean, no one's discovered an astroid bigger than 539 miles. So stupid. The movie tries to get romantic and fails. Badly. I also want to mention that every little piece of rock has hit major cities like New York (of course) Paris and Shangai. So stupid. If you liked Deep Impact then I don't think you'll really liek this. I'm 13 by the way.

Best film

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 1, 2001

This movie is the best. I have seen literally ever film with Bruce Willis and Will Patton, but this movie blew all the others right out of the water. It has an excellent plot and shows sreat team-work, and also how brave a man can really be.

This movie Rocks the Earth...almost..

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 30, 2001

This is definatly Bruce Wllis's best acting ever. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat, and throws you off it. It has a brilliant plot, and story line, and it is put together as a masterpiece. A definate buy on DvD.. ***** stars easy...

The worst movie I've ever seen!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 29, 2001

What a waste of money. And someone please shoot Bruce Willis!

Warning, this film will put you into a c

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 31, 2001

We humans are so lucky. To get two asteroid disaster movies within months from each other. One tries to bore us to death with sentimental mush, and the other tries to bludgeon us to death with such heavy handed mornic bluster that your head starts to go numb. I was not thrilled, nor was I scared, nor did I laugh even at Buscemi's glorious mug, who must have done this role to help with his retirement plans. Bruce Willis plays himself to a tee, I mean who could do it better? This film is just so friggin dumb its like having an asteroid for a brain for 2 and half hours.

Waste of Time

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 1, 2000

WHY?!?!?! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO THE CONCEPT OF MOVIEMAKING. On top of being a pile of (I'd say it but they would never post my review), his movie spent too much time worrying, planning, wasting time, lamenting and engaging in complication after complication
after complication just to put it's characters in contrived peril.
If you didn't see that ending coming you should get your head examined WITH A REVOLVER.

AWESOME MOVIE!!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 16, 2000

If you don't like this movie, then you must want to get killed by an asteroid.

Armageddon

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 8, 2000

Now this is a very good movie. Why? Because it encourages people to save humanity like: Treating People Right, Helping Others, Being brave,etc.I like the part with Harry Stamper and RockHound when they were on the Asteroid. =)I also like Bear saying," Come get Papa Bear!!!That was so funny. =-)

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 22, 2000

Words fail me when it comes to describing the shear greatness of this movie. This movie isn't just for the typical guy who likes fancy computer effects or action movies...it's for anyone who likes a great story!
