A miserable experience

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2002)

God, this movie was horrible. I was only 14 when I watched it and I used to like any action movie, even if it was only brainless action, I really didn't care. So I went to the movie theater with my family to watch "Armageddon" expecting another "Deep Impact", but a faster one.
The problems with the movie start right from the beginning. A little note to the writers: People who shoot other people on a leg (or anywhere) use to go to jail, you know? Right from the start you can see you're about to watch something incredibly stupid, like the NASA people sending ordinary drillers to space. Ha ha ha!
But I really did not care for that, I was just expecting the action. Wgen the action finally came, I really felt like walking out. The movie is so fast and the scenes are so short that most of the time I didn't know what the hell was happening. Besides, those characters were not likable. Bruce Willis was a psychotic person who shoots his daughter's boyfriend at the beginning, do you think you'll like the character? Of course not. Plus, I hate Ben Affleck, I've always hated him, so basically, I was rooting for the asteroid (I'm not kidding, I really was).
I can't imagine anyone enjoying this horrible movie -- not even as mindless action does it work.
