I don't get it....

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2002)

How did this movie score so badly, and why are so many people ripping it? I just saw it again on broadcast television, and once again, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. If people are expecting a modern marvel in writing and screenplay, then WHY ON EARTH go to the flick in the first place? You know it's not going to turn out that way. What Armageddon IS is a fun popcorn movie that is enjoyable if you put your brain on pause for about 2 1/2 hours. Anyone who thinks for 95% of the movies out there anyways is going to be disappointed...after all, any movie is going to have some plot holes if you really take the time to look. Go to the movie to laugh a little, go if you want some tears to come to your eyes, go if you want to have FUN, don't go if you are expecting something like Saving Private Ryan. It is what it is, just a fun summer movie. Score it 8/10 for the fun of watching it. Heck see it for all the actors and actresses you recognize from other movies! It's a who's who of Hollywood!
