Brainless movie going way overboard on many sides

Rating: 2/10 (11 September 2000)

Armageddon is one of the worst movies of the 90s, IMHO. An overly sentimental flick with a ridiculous number of stupid and pointless explosions. I mean, how many explosions does one REALLY want to see? Yes, the humor was good, Buscemi ruled (always), but I was SO fed up with this movie. I honestly was very glad it was over. It also features one of the lamest love stories ever. There was NO chemistry between Tyler and Affleck. Neither was there between Willis and Tyler. This movie lacked any emotion while going way overboard on the gushy mushy side. And the special effects weren't even all that impressive. Not to mention that the story didn't make any sense. I also hated the amount of nationalistic element, the whole "America is the best country in the world"-attitude. It went way overboard with that too.
Armageddon stands for everything that sucks about Hollywood. Not that everything sucks about Hollywood, not at all, but BRAINLESS movies like Armageddon sure do.
