Re: Armageddon:

If anyone wants to read a reviewer that has a great record at predicting box office hits, read Ain't It Cool News

"I'll see the film again on Wednesday, I'll stand in line for hours, I'll take my sister and I'll see her tremble and cry, a reflection of myself and many others. Not everyone will love it, but for those of us that do, don't doubt the motivations, it's not because we're paid, it's not because we went to DisneyWorld, it's because we loved the movie. And it's because of that that I won't talk of the Aerosmith concerts or my brushes with the famous, that's not what you'll get for your $8, and it won't be what I get for my $8 bucks either.
But the comments I made for this movie are whole and real. After the film, Jessica Steen looked at me, my eyes dripping, my glasses in my hands and she said, "This is your first time isn't it? It got ya." and all I did was smile and say, "yup". It got me, I hope it gets you too. "

THe NYPost loved it:
"No! Which is to say, "Yes, yes, yes!" to "Armageddon," a
barreling, badass testosto-fest that's like being strapped
onto a screaming Fourth of July bottle rocket for 2
breathless, head-banging hours. Houston, we have liftoff,
and it's a lollapalooza. "

The NYT didn't - because they didn't like its patriotic politcal message and the use of prayer.
