Armageddon is fun. The movie not the actual, well you know what I mean.
I have a hard time passing this flick up if I see it while channel surfing. That is one of the factors I used to compile my Top 100 Movies list: All things being equal (and its not Sunday during football season), will I stop to watch at least part of a movie if I happen to find it while channel surfing? In this case - almost always.
This movie has an incredible ensemble cast, including Owen Wilson, who has some great lines. Steve Buscemi is excellent as always. The Ben Affleck/Bruce Willis goodbye at the end of the movie is over the top (not on the list), but this is Armageddon people. It’s loud, fast, funny and action-packed! Is it a fine piece of classic cinema? No. Is it a great popcorn movie that is still fun to watch nine years after its release. Oh yes.
So there it is, Armageddon comes in at number 95. So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Could care less? Think my list is terrible thus far? Let me know, I can handle it.
