Bang, Bang, Boom, Boom, Yahoo & Die

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2000)

Fun "escapist" movie, meaning it's thoroughly unbelievable, but just go with it. None of the shots last for more than 3-4 seconds so it appeals to short attention spans. Great special effects, whereas "Deep Impact" was plot driven, this is driven by Special effects. Bruce Willis ( I was never a fan..) does a surprisingly good job when seen in the light of exploding gasses of various kinds. You never quite buy the idea of him as a dad, and I guess thats a sub-plot all it's own. Liv Tyler breezes through, counting on being a "hottie" as a substitute for acting. She's in the right business at least, she will always find work... untill she can't anymore, of course... Ben Affleck is louder than he was in "Good Will Hunting" and his loudness comprises most of his lines. Its a good movie...for what it is anyway... holds the attention and thats about all we usually ask for nowadays...
