I paid money for this?

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 1999)

Armageddon was the one movie that I saw this summer that actually tempted me to get up and leave. And I'm poor, so wasting money is not something I like to do. The only reason why I sat in that uncomfortable chair in that crowded movie theater with my friend was the fact that I was having so much fun riddling it with sarcasm and bitterness. Michael Bay needs to find a genre(for lack of a better word) and stick with it. The special effects were good...but I didn't care because, silly me, I went into the theater expecting a decent flick. Now I know big budget explosion movies make a crap-load of money and I do enjoy leaving my brain at the door soaking up the special effects from time to time, but this just made me want to wretch. As for the performances... Bruce Willis was Bruce Willis, Good ol' Bill Thornton was the only character I actually believed in, and the rest were pathetic stereotypes that I've seen in so many movies before. (Oh, but they were so funny and cute...he he he!) Don't watch this movie, don't give this company any more money...please!
