I hate to admit this about a Michael Bay flick of all things, but ARMAGEDDON was more entertaining than I expected. Far-fetched and fun, it definitely has its cheesy moments, but it's a great action-comedy. I loved the training sequence above all. I found that the more serious the film tried to be, the worse it was. Its comedic elements are where it truly excelled. For the first half of the film, I had a great time, and for that much, I will recommend ARMAGEDDON, but unfortunately the film is very long and doesn't need to be because, when the second part of the film in which they enter space commences, the film begins to drag tremendously. Michael Bay is not Martin Scorsese and this is not WOLF OF WALL STREET; you simply cannot get away with huge running times just for the sake of them. There has to be a reason for a film to go over that two hour mark and this film had no excuse.
