A very EXCITING "disaster" movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 1999)

Armageddon was, besides from being a politically correct movie, a very exciting movie. This one is clearly one of the best disaster-movies from the 90's. The effects is just great and I usually don't fall for this element in movies any longer, but these really blew my mind. Action, plot and atmosphere was also very good. The only negative thing about Armageddon was the length. WHY MUST (almost) every American movie last close to 2 1/2 hour. In the 80's most American movies lasted only 90 to 120 minutes, and that is usually long enough for a movie of this type. It's usually historical drama-films which last for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
