Title: A Mess of stupid characters, one-liners, and special FX
Review: I seldom walk out of movies but the first 50 minutes of Armageddon was SO incredibly stupid, that I wanted the world to be destroyed. I had no curiosity to see how this movie ended and I walked out, although I wasn't alone. This is mindless bravura at its worst. If you can buy the most ridiculous plot since Waterworld, tolerate a one-liner every 5 minutes, and put up with the childish acting and over-acting, then give this movie a try. If not, by all means, skip it. Its disappointing to see that Criterion has wasted money on this garbage. However, I'm sure there are enough mindless movie fans to justify their decision.
