Dull and Embarrassing

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2001)

Hard to do both at once but they managed it. I loved The Rock, liked Armageddon, but hated this. The slaughter of a few thousand people should evoke a deep emotional response, but all I could think was "neat follow the bomb/torpedo effect". The dogfights were laughable, the dialogue excruciatingly embarrassing and the characters had no development or substance whatsoever.
Here comes an important bit, crank up the camera speed and turn up the orchestra...
Very, very bad. Perhaps some more of that $100 mill or so should have gone to a screenwriter.
