CinemaSense.Com: Movie Reviews of the Heart
Josh Schirmer
Hyped to the point of breaking, "Armageddon" looks like the typical crap we've been dealt already. The previews make it out to be a shallow, stupidlooking film with only special effects to draw us in. And who really wants to see another meteor movie ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at Josh Schirmer

Joy Wyse
For me, this movie was pure escapism. No, it isn't artistic. It isn't wellwritten or wellacted. But for what it is, a "blow 'em up" movie. I really liked it. I give it a B+. And, I would definitely watch it again.See you at the Movies.The review above ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at Joy Wyse

DVDActive (Holly E. Ordway)
All in all, Armageddon is a fun movie that falls just short of being a really good movie as well. The Criterion edition of the DVD is a nice package, but considering the lack of anamorphic enhancement and the fact that the special features are good but ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at DVDActive (Holly E.

C.J. Hill
The acting all round is very good. Bruce Willis gives his very usual but very watchable performance and Steve Buscemi has all the best lines and provides some top comic relief.However, on the downside, Armageddon is let down by being completely ludicrous. ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at C.J. Hill
JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
Two words: "fun stuff". This movie is exciting, packed with action, humour, some tender moments, and doesn't pretend to be anything more or less than it's supposed to be: a nacho-munching, popcorn-eating cheese-fest of special effects, fun and 144 ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
Palo Alto Online (Jeanne Aufmuth)
The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
The summer thrill ride movie is becoming as much of a 4th of July tradition as the picnic and the fireworks, and the 1998 version is "Armageddon," the second movie of the year about a meteor headed toward earth. While the plot line is predictable (think ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
Starring Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton I had high hopes for Godzilla to be the summer's most entertaining picture. Armageddon looked like an accident waiting to happen. Surprise. In most of the places Godzilla failed, ...read the complete Armageddon movie review at Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)

Great Story line -- amazing movie -- holds you in your seat -- amazing music. There isn't a negative thing to say about this movie. Great movie to see during hard times in life. ...

This is one of my all time favorite films!
I only had the VHS and, because I watch it so often I'm certain the tape was wearing thin! I finally broke down and made the DVD purchase when I got a new player for the bedroom....How great to see this in a ...

The movie's great came in just in time no scratches of any kind nothing more or less. ...

It's really sad to see so many brainiacs trying to decipher the movie. No wonder they can't enjoy the movie. They are too busy trying to find every single scientific mistake, instead of relaxing and enjoying the movie. It's a sci-fi Hollywood picture ...

Armageddon is the masculine counterpart of the feminine Deep Impact, which emphasizes human relationships and serial sacrifices. (For that reason, I suspect that males tend to rate Armageddon highly, but females don't.) The story is well conceived and ...
by Olde American on February 17, 2009
This is delightfully jingoistic movie, great to watch with dad or son. A gaggle of white working class Americans and a token black guy save the ...
by W. Mann on November 28, 2008
People love to dump on this movie...namely for the unrealistic plot and action. The first time I saw this it was in the theater and I felt like everyone else...I was dissapointed and it just felt like a big letdown.
However, this movie has grown on me ...

I believe this movie to be well directed and scripted. It had the right amount of humor, drama, ...

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite movies of all time. There are very few movies that even try to touch on almost every emotion and this one does it well in my opinion. For those who didn't like it, I am guessing that they were trying to ...
