Joe Morgenstern
How does Armageddon, a movie obsessed with countdowns and countdown clocks, manage to redefine -- downward -- the standard for summer stupidity? Let me count the ways.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's strictly a side issue whether mankind will survive colliding with an asteroid the size of Texas; the real question is whether Liv Tyler, who plays Bruce Willis's daughter, gets to keep her boyfriend.
Desmond Ryan
The special effects are the best that $150 million can buy and the script plays like a near-afterthought.
Jami Bernard
The end of the world is going to be very noisy and filled with some of the worst dialogue ever.
Michael O'Sullivan
Armageddon peels your eyelids back and blows your eardrums out until rational analysis is moot.
Jay Boyar
Just when you think you've had it with this movie, there comes a farcical, rock 'n' roll sort of comedy sequence, or a hilariously goofy line.
