York, are completely destroyed by a comet shower, NASA detects the said
asteroid and go into a frenzy. more |

| >From the creative team that invented the "why don’t we all just whip it
out and see whose got the biggest dick" film, Armageddon surpasses its
predecessors in budget, effects and pure testosterone output. I’m
talking about Jerry Bruckheimer (ConAir,...more |

| The first 10 minutes of this film are pretty entertaining, and, downright
spectacular. A comet shower (not detected by NASA) rains on an American
spaceship and blows the thing up good before it proceeds to New York City. more |

| Unlike this summer's other end-of-the-Earth disaster flick, Deep Impact,
which at least made an attempt at a modicum of intelligence and scientific
accuracy, Armageddon is pure amusement park fun. more |

| The last time we saw Bruce Willis in front of the camera riding the binge
trend of apocalypse movies was in 1995, with the bizarre, twisted Terry
Gilliam saga of a virus and a time travel paradox "12 Monkeys". Having just
finished it as I type these...more |

| ARMAGEDDON
Directed by Michael Bay
A case could probably be made that Jerry Bruckheimer and the late
Don Simpson are the two men most responsible for the sorry state of the
American movie blockbuster. Why was "Godzilla" so godawful? Why did "Speed
2"...more |

| Hello kids. Today the movie studios want to take over my critical
review, and somehow persuade you that _Armageddon_, the summer's biggest
blockbuster, is a film for everybody. And remember, if a film is for
_everybody_, and if it makes the most money...more |

| After watching Armageddon I realized that I had watched an extremely
long commercial. A 150 minute commercial to be exact. The director,
Michael Bay, had me interested in the beginning of the film, and I began
to think that it would be like The Rock in...more |

| Following in the footsteps of Deep Impact, Armageddon is a high octane
action story about a huge asteroid on a collision course with earth.
A plan is devised to drill nuclear bombs into it's core and then

| The second meteorite movie after the dire Deep Impact (1998) is brought by
the team who produced the dire action movie The Rock (1996). Luckily,
however, Armageddon is better than both of these films, and provides
entertaining summer fare. The 'plot' is...more |

| If nothing else, ARMAGEDDON will probably go down in history as
the loudest movie ever. It applies the mechanics of brain-dead,
quick-cutting action movies like CON-AIR and THE ROCK to the disaster
movie formula, with mixed results. As far as the summer...more |

| When ARMAGEDDON opened on July 1, my son and I visited the only cinema
in our small city. We entered the largest auditorium, which was the
original theater, circa 1930's. (Three much smaller screens were added
recently to please the college crowd.) more |

| Guilty pleasures are secret little joys of life. Things that we're not
supposed to enjoy because they're not hip and they're certainly not good for

| "Armageddon" compares very unfavorably to this year's *other* asteroid opus,
"Deep Impact." That film excelled by using its spectacular special effects
sequences sparingly, and allowing room for its characters to ponder the
reality of the End of the...more |

| ARMAGEDDON is a one-hundred-and-fifty-minute migraine headache. It classifies
less as a form of entertainment than as a new kind of corporal punishment.
It's so meat-headedly macho it should come with its own brand of deodorant. more |
