Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Great special effects but not quite real. Oil drillers saving the planet in space in 18 days? This film is sucking up. Lots of funny moments though, like a spoof of the apollo program.

Best comedy movie I ever ever ever sat through. Bruce's Tiger Woods moments, haha, and then chasing and shooting at affleck on an oil rig. I would think that would be rather dangerous with all those pipes and flammable liquids. It was so funny, though. I was actually disappointed that this movie then turned....serious? I just laughed and laughed. Billy bob, you tried to act so cool with your "size of Texas" and other remarks. What a comedian! And then, the whole crew with their demands, like not wanting to pay taxes. Ha ha snort snort. And then (jumping to the end of this jewel because I don't want to waste any more time with this review), the editing. EDITING? I don't know which was worse, the editing or the worthless script. That wasn't editing. There were so many jumps from one scene to another near the finale, that my head started spinning and I started laughing just so I wouldn't throw up from the over-assault of my visual senses and from the dizziness brought on. I hadn't felt that queasy since having sat through the Blair Witch Project with its incessant camera shaking. I laughed but not all the way to the bank as this sorry cast did. Fact is, this movie actually made me mad when I left the theatre. What a sorry, sorry mess. Yes, I was laughing mad. I would classify this as the best comedy ever and the worst serious movie ever and right on par with another very expensive worthless flick, the Wild Wild West. What absolutely amazes me is the amount of money this stupid travesty brought in. I look back and wonder why the hell there wasn't a class action lawsuit filed against the concocters of this comedic garbage. I have never asked a theatre for my money back. I was a fool for not doing so after sitting through this laughable comedy.

Thin plot. Casting Big stars to disguise a mediocre screenplay. There is no way the world would send these fools up in space to save the planet. Ben A is so miscast. He was too clean looking to be an oil rigger. The plot of this is so stupid and it is padded out to 2 1/2 hours. This was the #1 film of 1998. Only people who are young and adults that can not comprehend a James Joyce novel like this crappy movie. Small words were used in order for the masses to understand

I realize everyone's already asked this question, but it's still worth asking: Criterion? Really? There's a lot wrong with "Armageddon". The choking sentiment; the specious logic; bad science; awful dialogue; and (hands down) the worst movie song I've ever heard. One good thing is that it's not Michael Bay's worst movie. That's something. But it is his patented sensory assault; between the dizzying cuts and the restless camera, this must be what a coke binge feels like.4/10 While we're on the subject, how did they arrive at Aerosmith for the radio tie-in? I guess when you've got a ballad on your hands, who better to tackle that beast than a cat in a blender?
