Potentially great movie ruined by Pro American ending

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 1999)

As I watched this movie on TV, having already seen it in theaters a few years ago, I was captivated by the movie, not able to change the channel. This was surprising since I thought that I hated the movie after having seen it in a theater. But, the root of my hatred was clearly seen as the movie entered its final third. The pro American ending was simply awful. My old hatred was quickly reinforced, and I realized that these pro American films like Armageddon will never appeal to me. The patriotic nature of these films adds nothing to them, it only limits their chance of success in markets other than the US.
