    Armageddon is as irresistible as it's indefensible.
  2. It looks like a TV ad, or 200 of them strung together, with the same kind of gaudy virtuosity, lavish technique and expensive self-mockery tinging every shot.

    Sometimes the movie can't decide whether to tug REALLY HARD at the heart strings, or make you laugh at the zany oil riggers.
  4. Armageddon may sell tickets, thanks largely to a high-powered marketing machine that's been conducting its own countdown for the past several months. But it's not a pretty picture.

    This movie is not bad, but not for everyone. Its an exciting thrill ride.
  2. You know those original blockbuster movies that have limitless fun and amazing scenes? Well, the space blockbuster "Armaggedon" is on the top list for the category. Expand

    This is a pretty decent film with some great action scenes. the acting is a little sub par but by Michael bay standards it was very good. I really enjoyed it for what it was. Expand
  4. 3
    A pretty mediocre movie. Although saying that about a Micahel Bay film is about as big of a compliment as I can give him. Music is decent at times but just isn't all that thrilling. Expand
