Armageddon; thrill ride of the summer

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 1998)

WOW! What a fun movie. Critics hate it, audiences love it...Does this special effects driven movie have holes? Yes it does Is some of the script weak? Yes Are we asked to stretch our imagination at points? Yes....But did you have fun when you left the theater? The answer remains yes.....This is how movies outta be, fun. Sure the story is weak in spots, and some of the situations unbelievable (landing on an asteroid, come on!) but its FUN. People have forgotten how fun movies can be, critics are looking for some big message in them, nitpickers love to whine. This was the only movie of the summer of '98 to live up to its pre-determined blockbuster status, and it did. Bruce Willis turns in a wonderful performance as Harry Stamper. Ben Affleck is believable as Liv
Tyler's love interest. The SFX are wonderful and Steve Buscemi is a scene-stealer..
Give it a rest critics and nitpickers....you should enjoy yourself in a movie...thats why its called "Entertaiment"
