Loud, dumb and . . . not fun

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2016)

I realize everyone's already asked this question, but it's still worth asking:
Criterion? Really?
There's a lot wrong with "Armageddon". The choking sentiment; the specious logic; bad science; awful dialogue; and (hands down) the worst movie song I've ever heard. One good thing is that it's not Michael Bay's worst movie. That's something. But it is his patented sensory assault; between the dizzying cuts and the restless camera, this must be what a coke binge feels like.
4/10
While we're on the subject, how did they arrive at Aerosmith for the radio tie-in? I guess when you've got a ballad on your hands, who better to tackle that beast than a cat in a blender?
