Review: 'Armageddon' is dumbest action flick of the late 90s


Armageddon   PG 13
            The loudest, most ridiculous scifi asteroid disaster movie ever. Michael Bay of Bad Boys makes his oil rigger protagonists so annoying that you root for the rock to smash them, and Earth, to bits. In 1998, the year of asteroid flicks, anything goes, or falls to Earth. This cheesy story isn't so bad it's good. It's just...so...bad. And no, the hot chick, Liv Tyler, doesn't make it a good movie just because she's in it. Willis and Affleck are terrible. The lavish sets and FX cannot save this thing from hurling out of control through space and crashing with a thunderous smack.
