A mess of a movie.

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2001)

Armageddon is a loud, annoying, mess of a movie. The script is terrible and like a lot of summer movies the plot has obvious weaknesses, so what it has to do is make up for that aspect with fun actions scenes. Some movies I've seen such as Face/Off and The Mummy were able to, despite their script and plot problems, be at a fun entertaining level enough to make up for their faults. Armageddon fails with action scenes that make no sense, have way to high a frequency of cuts, and are just messy and too loud. If a movie is made purely for eye candy it shouldn't taste like dirt. I give Armageddon a 3 out of 10.
