Most Likely the worst film of the 90s.

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2003)

Armageddon, directed by hack Michael Bay, is an atrocious piece of wasted celluloid. Why films like this smash box office records and other better movies suffer at the theater is beyond me. Basically, the film is about a bunch of oil drillers who get chosen to go into space and save mankind by destroying an asteroid!! Ben Affleck, as usual, can't act his way out of a paper bag and makes a fool out of himself in the "animal crackers" scene. In fact, almost nobody in this film is saved from its horrible wrath. Did anyone read the screenplay? Does Michael Bay know how to effectively shoot a steady shot? Is there any film with more shots of the American flag than this one? You will be asking these questions to yourself and many more while watching this pile of trash. For a real action film see one of these:
-Point Blank -Deliverance -Excalibur -Soldier of Orange -Dawn of the Dead .5/4 stars
