Only good for unintentional laughs

Rating: 1/10 (10 December 2003)

This is a truly terrible movie. It's manipulative and predictable, badly acted and badly written - BARELY written might be more accurate as it's mostly a compendium of cliches, and it's edited like the world's longest movie trailer.
I love comic books and I love big comic books-style movies. But there are good comic books and bad comic books, and Armageddon is like a glossy and expensively-printed comic book written and drawn by untalented and uncaring hacks. The science is not just bad, it's not even science. Racist stereotyping abounds.
Yet I had a good time laughing at it. Never with it, only at it.
