It should have been named "Air Farce One". Granted, it had a few good action sequences, but all in all, it was disappointing. Ford and Oldman do what they can with a lame script, and I pity the master behind "Das Boot", director Petersen, that he had to work with a movie about as stupid as "Armageddon". This kind of flag-waving actioners are usually considered too stupid outside of the US, but I was pleased to see that some of the American reviewers here thought it was too stupid, too. Memo: if you are going to make a "President saves the day" movie, make it real implausible (like "Independence Day"), and if it to be an actioner, try to surpass "Die Hard", not imitate it.
