MegaBudget Action Flick = Decent Entertainment

Once again Bruce Willis is given the simple task of saving the world in this mega-zillion-budget bigboys' joyride. An asteroid the size of Texas is about to do to us what another big rock did to the dinosaurs millions of years back (as we are told by Charlton "Moses" Heston in the opening credits).

He is quite possibly the worst director of our time, but it doesn’t matter because he chose to make big-budget action movies, which always bring in the masses, thus inspiring studios to hire him to once more destroy everything that is cinema.

“Armageddon” is no exception. There is one single plot present in the movie and only a trace of a subplot involving Stamper’s daughter Grace (Liv Tyler) being in love with Stamper’s co-worker, A.J. Frost (Ben Affleck). This of course goes nowhere you wouldn’t ...
