The Antithesis of 2001

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 1998)

This movie reminds me of an 8-year-old boy playing with a toy airplane. He wants it to go *real fast*, so he waves it around as fast as he can while franticly making "whooshing" noises. I hope this film was fun for the 8 -year-olds who made it, because it sure wasn't fun to watch for 2 1/2 hours.
If I get to be a demon changed with punishing Bruckheimer and Bay, I'll duct -tape them to a chair and make them watch 2001. Fans of Armageddon keep arguing that a film can be silly or even stupid but still be entertaining. I agree -- "The 5th Element" falls into this category. That's about all I was expecting from Armageddon; instead, I saw 150 minutes of the worst editing and screenplay I've ever seen.
