Why is the rule if it's a genuine action movie it can not have a plot.

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 1998)

I have read several reviews from viewers under the impression that this movie lacked a storyline. Perhaps they missed the movie and stared bitterly at their popcorn instead while a well crafted and witty storyline unfolded.
The story has several key points to it that maintain it as a great movie. First, the characters, well acted, and despite what some may say, Ben Affleck more than pulled off the role of AJ, are characters that you genuinely care about and want to see more of. Its a very well casted ensemble cast, let's just point out that Wil Patton, Steve Buscemi and Billy Bob Thornton were key characters. There was no lack of action, humor and despite a few scientific mistakes for the purpose of action, this was just a terrific movie.
There has to come a time when you can just sit back and enjoy a movie for the well crafted piece of work it is. Armageddon is just that. But above all else, it was just FUN.
