Negative Positive
Title: The most RIDICULOUS movie I've seen in a LONG time.
Review: "Armageddon" went head-to-head against "Deep Impact" in the theatres, and I chose to see "Deep Impact" first, since it seemed to be a more thoughtful, serious look at the possibility of a comet impacting Earth. After surviving the disappointment of "Deep Impact," I thought, "How bad could ARMAGEDDON possibly be? Sure, the science might be bad, but it's probably just a lot of rollicking good fun." How WRONG I was! Apparently the producers of this movie felt there was no need to speak with technical or scientific consultants; I can't imagine anyone but male high school dropouts enjoying this film. Sure, there's a lot of explosions, flashing lights, Aerosmith, cheesy sets, flag-waving, and clouds of testosterone pouring off the screen, and if that's your cup of tea, go get this movie. But if you've got an IQ of at least 90, avoid "Armageddon" like the plague.
Is the review positive or negative?
