Apart from the fact that Catherine Zeta-Jones looks like a million dollars and that Antonio Banderas shows off his accent, this movie has plenty of action scenes replete with sword fights. It’ s a complete entertainer! Perfect for the entire family.
Armageddon/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/02/armageddon_400x300.jpg)

Why do they keep coming after Bruce Willis? In a way I’m glad they do, as we get to see some heavy-duty action scenes that cover sea, air and land. What is it with this guy? He’s a super hero alright!
