10 Worst Disaster Movies Of All Time

Before he turned Transformers - a beloved children's property - into a weird, sexualised, three hour car advert, director Michael Bay was busy throwing asteroids the size of Texas at Earth. Enter: Armageddon. Bay's magnum opus before his magnum opus (which is Pain and Gain, if you're curious).

This 1998 monstrosity starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck was rightly panned on release. Critics took umbrage with, well, pretty much everything. The dialogue, characters, and plot were all rubbished. And rightly so.

While many do praise the special effects, and they are great in parts, all the spectacle is undermined by the horribly saccharine love story at the film's center.

Armageddon is of the era when Michael Bay thought he was James Cameron or another comparable director. You know, the era that produced the awful Pearl Harbor.

In the films Bay crapped out during this time he saw it fit to shove in some tripe love plot line that just makes you want to either take a long shower or throw up in your mouth. Sometimes both at the same time.

It all ends with Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' blaring through the speakers as Affleck is reunited with love interest Liv Tyler. Yuck.
