ARMAGEDDON [*....]
HELLFIGHTERS in space, with Bruce Willis as John "the Duke" Wayne, Liv
Tyler as Katherine Ross, and BEN! as Jim Hutton.
The worse thing about this film is the number of times a scene could
have been so easily improved upon... SPOILERS (as if anything could
spoil this film more than the film itself )
1. Bruce shoots at BEN! because he has slept with his daughter. FIX -
Bruce kills BEN! and we never have to see his face for the rest of the
film.
2. BEN!s shuttle comes to pieces and crashes, BUT BEN! survives. FIX -
BEN! dies horribly in the crash, but everyone else is OK.
3. BEN! draws short straw to detonate nuke, BUT Bruce takes his place
and BEN! lives. FIX - Bruce leaves well alone, goes back to his
beautiful but stupid daughter, and BEN! gets blown to oblivion by the
nuclear explosion.
This is one of the most manipulative films that I have ever seen. Every
other phrase is yet another one liner, accompanied by the obligatory
emotional music. And as for those endless trips around the world to see
the "ordinary" people, again and again, over and over, "and here we are
back in Venice with more FUCKING GONDOLAS"...
I like Science Fiction, I like special effects, but it has to done
properly, not just repeating the same thing ad infenitum, and then
never really making the most of it.
My advise is avoid this, see HELLFIGHTERS instead, you'll be watching a
loud mouthed fascist arrogant sexist pig, but consider the
alternative.
