Unless im blind, I've noticed we have no 'real Armageddon' thread anywhere for discussion except in the movie trivia thread. So i decided to make one.
I think this movie r0x, I've only seen the TV version of it twice, once 2 weeks ago, and another, last night. It was pretty damn sad at the end too when Harry died

Roger Ebert gave it a STAR!

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone SAW it.

And it was nominated for SIX (count 'em!) Razzie awards!

Nice!

I loved Ben Afflec at the time that movie came out...crazy.

I didnt really, but when he cried close to the end i about died. I was like awww...

Yeah.

I actually thought this movie was pretty awful, despite the nice special effects tho.

I love when Ebert reviews a terrible movie, they always give me a chuckle.

Also I heard that Armageddon has a average of 3 second cuts.

so did i! i saw this film many times. it's not very good, but i like it. maybe cuz of bruce willis.

This film is wicked... but people take it too seriously! It's tounge-in-cheek most of the time!

I havn't seen it but my mum thinks it was really good

My mom's cousin is Will Patton, who plays the astronaut who his wife wants nothing to do with him and he leaves the toy spaceship on the front porch. So that would make him my 2nd cousin.

Other than that, I remember thinking the movie was better than I thought it was going to be at the time but don't remember too much since.

il ove movie bout the end of the world speciall this 1

Leaving the toy spaceship on the front porch makes him your second cousin? If only Jerry Lee Lewis had been privy to this sort of arrangement, he could have avoided a lot of scandal.

Spitback movie

R u serious?

i cryed during that movie cry

Me 2

LOL @ that.

...yeah, he is. I have only met him once, about 3 years ago in Charleston, SC, where he is from. My mom's met him many times, know him since she was young. One of the nicest guys you would ever meet. I have a few photos at home of him with me and my brother but right now I don't have them scanned on the computer.

I met his girlfriend, too. She is Alison Elliott from The Spitfire Grill. In fact, they met there on the set. She is only like 29 I believe. What's even better than that is his dad, who is in his 70's, dates a 27 year old. I don't know her name, she's not famous. They met during a local theater production in Richmond, VA.

Thats so cool.

wow i gotta say thanks for posting this thread. this has gotta be one of my favorites. ben affleck was just adorable in this and everytime i heard that areosmith song on the radio after the movie i cried. yes im a girl lol

I didnt like Armageddon too much, even though I like Bruce Willis I thought the script was kinda flim-flam, they said a lot of stuff that was supposed to mean something but its just comes out sounding cheesy.

There were technical issues also, thier supposed to be on an asteroid with no gravity but in one scene one of the actors drops a piece of metal and it just falls to the ground, not a real big deal but it just bothers me.

Cool amerifan

I thought the script was pretty good, and plus Bruce Willis came up with some of his own lines, or added in his own.

What??? All the one liners in the movie have been used before by lack-luster movies. Not to mention everything in the movie is cliche including the characters and situations.

I thought it was good even considering it was made in what? 1999? the effects were excellent for its time and it had a good cast. Plus it had Liv drool

Nicely said RTO, i agree and yes it was '99

Liv's my idol.

It was 1998

O well, 1 year off.q

Still, great effects and a good cast doesnt make up for a horrible script and predictable plot and ending.

UMMM what did you expect to happen? the world end and everyone die?

The only other variation is what happened in Deep Impact

Nice script

When ever I hear the song Leavin on a Jet plane, I think of this movie. I would give it athumbsup, but my husband would give it a thumbdown

Good.
Why a thumbs down from ur hubby?

he did not like the movie. Not his thing I guess

Oh. I understand

steve buscemi salvaged this movie...

rockhound-- just wanted to feel the power between my legs brother!

Buscemi has always been a comedian/good actor in my eyes, I thought he was real funny in armageddon.
