Haha, then why are you defending The Island?
You ask me, Armageddon is pretty sweet and The Rock is fantastic.

There good popcorn flicks, dont get me wrong, it's just I REALLY fucking hate Bay's style of cinematography. It looks like a fucking Mountain Dew Commercial. As far as The Island goes, I liked it. And It was better than Clonus, I'll give you that.

The Rock was greatness IMO.
On Armageddon though, the first half of the movie was great, but the last half, *vomit*. Honestly, that flick could have been the best disaster film ever if it did not take itself seriously in the second half (from the shuttles taking off from there on).
@Executor
Michael Bay's cinematography does look like a fcuking Mountain Dew commercial now that I think about it. And the same goes for most anything Bruckheimer involves himself in.

I'll be blunt: I hate armaggedon. I cant belive that Bruckheimer and Bay managed to stuff so much stupidity into 2 1/2 worth of movie. Hell, I'm sure at this point Bruce Willis is regretting that piece of shit. Even the Godzilla remake was better. The Rock, I'll grant, that wasent the worst movie of all time. Hell, the scene when the navy SEAL's get shredded is almost as fucking funny as Babylon 5:Legend of the Rangers(DBZ FIREPOWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!111)

^ On the special features disc they mention that all those guys are actual Navy SEALs. During production one of them mentioned that the way they went in (all at once) would never happen in real life. They wouldn't get caught in a trap like that. The producers them politely told them, if you guys don't die, then there is no movie, it has to be about Connery and Cage kicking ass :) I actually love the Rock, I think it is a great action film. It's the only movie that Michael Bay made that I can watch. Everything else was terrible. Yet for some reason I still watch them when they come out. I've gotta stop supporting this guy's work >.>
Awesomely Shitty

At least Nick Cage's girlfriend in the movie was hot.

You mean the mushy bit which was well timed for a bathroom break, before they resume the action by taking out Paris...

I wish Pirates of the Caribbean 3 would have been nice enough to provide us with one such break. Damn movie didn't have any throw away scenes.

OH YEAH, LIV TYLER. Goddammit, I have NEVER EVER witnessed worse acting than hers in Armageddon. But that's the only thing ruining the movie for me, cookie-cutter Michael Bay is pretty OK to me otherwise. Bad Boys is really bad tho.
I was furious when I went to the movies and saw Fellowship of the Ring and fucking Liv Tyler showed up with her acting on par with Tori Spelling. But then Hugo Weaving reared his head just minutes later and all was well.

You didn't mind the lack of adherence to the laws of physics, shuttles running engines continuously in space, pointless Gatling Gun on the lunar rover, the light-up skull shaped gear shift on the lunar rover (do these things even have gears?), the firing of guns on an oil rig, the shitty acting, the inane plot, or the idea that NASA would use oil drillers instead of astronauts?

Apparently not.
ETA: Besides, it's a minor problem in the giant shitfest that is armageddon.
None at all. Entertainment should be entertaining, not pretentious.
EDIT: I guess I COULD go on about the bad parts, like how cowardly a director he is, and how he just keeps going all out all the damn time to not leave a second of footage in that could be considered boring my viewers of any age, and how the eventual explosion probably would've worked better in complete silence (ala Wings of Honneamise), but in the case of Armageddon, the entertainment is enough to forgive all that and I'll resort to be a happy consumer instead of a critic. Same goes for a lot of american B-action.
