A big, bloated cinematic turd

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 1999)

A year ago I went into the theater thinking this was going to be a great film. 2 hours later, I walked out p*ssed off. Armageddon is a big example of what's wrong with mainstream movies lately: All FX, no plot. Here are the reasons why I hated it:
2)The male characters were basically a bunch of overgrown boys.
3)The romantic subplot between Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck was corny and irritating like no other film.
4)WAY too many scientific errors.
5)Excessive patriotism. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be an American, but this went too far. In real life, the mission would've been an international venture. The Russian stereotypes didn't help either.
6)Enough predictability to fill TWO movies.
and the list goes on and on......
