Maybe you should say what it is that stands out about Armageddon. Twister, Atomic Twister, Deep Blue Sea, Battlefield Earth, Tornado, Megasnake, Frankenfish, Mansquito, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Blood Surf, The Omega Code, Reign of Fire, Gargoyle, Leprechaun in the Hood, most John Woo films that I've seen, Mission to Mars, Pterodactyl, The Abyss, Volcano, Dante's Peak, and countless others. I also think just as much of it as any of the following films:

In response to your specific queries, I don't think Armageddon is any worse than The Waterboy (don't really see the similarity but ok) and haven't seen Deep Impact.

Well, I'm not a hater of that movie so maybe I'm not the right person to answer this. I didn't like that crap-fest either!įor films of this nature, I will take Danny Boyle's Sunshine any day of the week. Aflek? Wilson? Come on now.Keith David? The guy is a decent character player, but he is barely B-list.Īs for being better than Deep Impact. Liv Tyler? She sure is hot, but she isn't a top notch actress, by any stretch. Lastly, although I could probably go on for a bit longer, you talk about great actors, but then list a couple of good actors and a bunch of hacks. Meanwhile, the film wants to be taken seriously, but nothing about it is serious. This is just one of the many "um, huh?" issues with the whole premise of the film.Īll the characters are cartoonish archetypes, as well. So, if the asteroid is "as large as Texas", why do they only have to drill, what was it, 900 feet? That makes no sense. Then there is all the logistical silliness that occurs. We aren't dumb, but Bay likes to think we are. These are good concepts, but they are slammed down our throats, in typical Bay fashion.

The silly moral plays in the film aren't handled well, as we are force fed themes on patriotism and family. This is the biggest problem with this clown. I could barely get through it.īay doesn't know the meaning of the word subtle.

The scene with the animal crackers is what I consider to be one of the worst scenes ever put on film. The love story in the film was ham fisted and vomit inducing. I can't stand this guy's style of direction.
