Title: I've read MANY, MANY movie tie-in books...
Review: I've read MANY, MANY movie tie-in books, and I like them! I think they're great. They give extra descriptions, and usually include small scenes that weren't in the movie. Part of the reason is because they're usually written straight from the script. BUT, most authors try and give some more insight to the scenes occurring. They do RESEARCH. They explore CHARACTER. In short, they give new dimensions to the source material that aren't evident on the screen.Having said all of that, the novelization of Armageddon sucks. I think I read it faster than the movie takes to watch (never a good sign). It felt like a junior adult/children's adaptation. It was a joke. I was extremely disappointed. And I've got MANY examples to which to compare. This is by far one of the worst movie novelizations I've ever read.It could've been really good, too. The movie was fantastic. That's what makes it all the worse.
