Why the harsh words for a GREAT film?

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2003)

Sorry, but I read many of these comments and wonder if it's the same film. Everyone I know considers this one of Bruce's best films. He's finally playing the lead without all the usual macho crap.
An asteroid heading for Earth (not new), only one possible chance for survival (again, not new), a bunch of weirdo's from an oil rig to save the world (new!)
Who can watch the scenes during the NASA medical checks without laughing, and who can watch the end without a tightening of the throat? My girlfriend recently turned on the TV 15 minutes before the end of the film and was still in tears at the finish!
All in all, a really good film to kick bad and relax with. If you want Bruce running round shooting people, rent or buy practically any other film he's made. If you want to see him actually having to act for a change, get this and ENJOY!
