Armageddon was 1998. He was also in Airheads, The Wedding Singer, Billy Madison, Con Air, The Big Lebowski, Big Daddy, Reservoir Dogs and Fargo prior to 9/11 happening. Yes, he was a first responder, but he has been acting for many, many years prior to 9/11.
He still volunteers with his local fire department. He has a lot of friends there and he participates in their cooking. The guys all cook while doing their shifts. Buscemi made a documentary about his involvement with the fire department.
A little correction - Aerosmith only performed the song, they did not wrote it, though - "I don't want to miss a thing" was written by Diane Warren. But you're right, that scene was what convinced Steven to do the song as he was initially reluctant when they were offered to perform the title song
The Russian dude, Lev, is legit the best character in here. Literally saves everybody, has unique personality and does all right, even fixes the god damn ship, even cares about the AJ so much as to save him when everybody abandoned him. I love how the actor did the role.
Is just so sad to know how Bruce is right now, i hope his family and him can found some peace on this situation. Such a wonderful actor that mark an era in all of our lives
That's the point of movies, right? They were made to convince us that it's actually real. Even though we know it's not, we can feel empathy for the situation. A great sign that you don't lack imagination and empathy. Unfortunately we have some people on this planet who lack both.
This is the first movie I watched as a kid that literally broke me. Bruce Willis has always reminded me of my dad same personality and demeanor. This is a classic and yes I cry every time I watch it. 💜
Oh God. I distinctly remember watching Armageddon for the first time and crying the hardest I ever cried in a movie up until that point, because I put myself in Grace's shoes when losing her father.
I once read that Ben Afflick asked the director, Michael Bay, wouldn't be easier to teach astronauts how to drill than to teach drillers how to be astronauts and the director's response was....shut up. I find that so funny. I think because I thought the same thing when I was watching the movie. It's still one of my all-time favorites though.
@@Markyajv Yes ,that's a really interesting movie. -But the toxic masculinity explains why there are so many shots of Liv Tyler that make me unconfortable rewatching now.
"if you wanna do drug, do it" omfg hahahaahahahahahhah omg, at this point i was crying too but when she burst out "WHY SO MANY PROBLEMS" i started crying of laughter
I just wanted to say how much I like this channel and how much I love when you are both reacting. Your girlfriend is just adorable and the two of you are so cute together!
The guy that sings this song, Steve Tyler, his daughter is Liv Tyler, aka the girl in this movie. Which also make the musiv video even better. I have such a crush on LIv still. From this and Lord of the Rings.
Bruce Willis was one of the greatest actors I've ever have the pleasure to watch. He's currently retired because on his later years he developed a brain disease that unfortunately led to the demise of his movie career, where he participated in lots of bad direct-to-video movies from around 2020 onward, with very short roles. Still I prefer to remember him for his Moonlighting TV series and top movies like Pulp Fiction, Die Hard 1/2/3/4/5, 12 Monkeys (I prefer the TV series but he's not in it), Fifth Element, Armageddon, Sixth Sense, Planet Terror (awesome underrated movie), among many many others.
A lot of people have joked and trolled this movie for decades, and I've come to realize it's because Armageddon is just that good. All star cast, great humor, amazing soundtrack by Aerosmith, characters you genuinely like, literally all the feels, from tense, to funny, to tearjerker. I have yet to watch anything like this.
5:00 - for me, this is the saddest moment in the movie. The way she lit up when he said to name something after her; she still loves him and was so hopeful for a tender gesture from him...
The moment she said "daddy" followed later by "daddy, no"... I go in ugly mode crying. I watched this movie in the cinema and with a 13yo daughter this hits even harder when it did back then. Love your reaction, keep it going
The opening narrator was Charleton Heston, who played Ben-Hur, Moses in The Ten Commandments, and starred in The Omega Man, The Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, and Soylent Green, among other classics.
My dad made me watch this with him when I was little to try & repair our relationship. That didn’t work cause he did too many horrible things, but I still to this day really appreciate this movie & how it shows that wonderful father-daughter relationship I wished I had ❤
Health and Wellness. It's not about the cards you're dealt, but how you play your hand. You might want o re-asses your stand against your father. He might have done horrible things, but you are un-reachable, and that in itself is a horrible thing to do, to the father-daughter relationship.. to family. Go listen to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, and allow it to inspire you. xo
@@keetahbrough Don't speak on something you know nothing about! Sometimes the right thing is to leave the relationship. You know nothing about what horrible things he has done and are in no way qualified to tell her what to do. You should be ashamed of yourself calling what she has chosen horrible and her unreachable without knowing the facts. It's obvious from her comment she wanted to have a good relationship with him.
this one came out around the same time as Independence day, maybe a year or two apart, but these two were big when I was a kid. I always loved this movie. There is another asteroid movie that came out close to this that was largely overlooked, Deep Impact. That one deals more with people on the ground coming to grips with the potential end of the world and the space flight to blow it up is just a side story. Still a decent movie in it's own right, but it was more of a drama where as this is an action film.
I love how you're reassuring your girlfriend at the end. So sweet. "Why so many problems???" This was me getting sick 3weeks in a row lately lol If you like 80s/90s movies you should watch Father of the bride (both 1&2), Steel magnolias, Parent trap. So many good 80s and 90s movies!
This is the only movie that made me cry more than Titanic. Saw it in the movie theater and didn't have any tissues with me so I had to cry my tears into the ends of my sleeves. Looked like I had dipped them in my soda! And noooow you watch Deep Impact and Day After Tomorrow and 2012! ;)
@@nickreacts6394 I love all three, but would probably recommend... all three lol. But Deep Impact is also a "big rock from space is gonna hit us" and the other two are more environmental collapsing kind of thing. All have very good actors in them so they're all worth a watch imo. ♥
This is a great movie. The conversation between Harry and Grace near the end caught everyone off guard in the theater when this first came out. In the Criterion Collection of this there are some extended scenes, with one being Harry going to talk to his father before he leaves, and he incorporates some of what his father said to him when he is talking to Grace for the last time, which only makes that conversation sadder. The blooper reel is so damn funny, especially with Billy Bob Thornton doing a Sling Blade accent during a scene.
Sooo happy y'all reacted to and enjoyed this! Loved every second of it!! Thank you 💙 An All-Star cast with high stakes!! The Score really gets me in the feels, too! Not the soundtrack, but the movie's score. It's heartful one moment and friggin Epic the next. Just like y'all said, it handles serious, funny, and sad moments very well. 👍 That's so hard to pull off. Character development is also top notch, for pretty much every major player in the story.
This movie hits me so hard in the emotions. It used to be because it made me miss my own dad, who sadly passed in 2000 at 86. Then, when I became a father myself, the storyline with Chick and his estranged son just absolutely kills me, because my boy lives so far away. It's so hard not being able to see your child every day, to hug them, or kiss them. So I was right there with her bawling my eyes out.
16:35 To go zero gravity, it's not cheap. A company called Las Vegas Zero Gravity Flights charges $8,200. per person. 34:18 On the Special Edition of this film, on the audio commentary they mention that the rotary cannon was for debris clearing.
This is one of those movies that you have to see, it is that good. Even though a lot of what they did couldn't happen but it was still fun. The daughter (Liv Tyler) is the daughter of the Steve Tyler the one who sang the song you liked. You guys are such a super cute couple and you are great reactors, so way to go.
Very few movies make me cry every single time. The Green Mile Big Fish And this. And I don't even have to watch the movie. I had to get a blood test done to be approved for a surgery and as i was getting my blood drawn the song "don't want to miss a thing" came on the speaker and I lost it.
The Slim Pickens movie that Buscemi's character was referring to was the classic "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" which also starred George C. Scott and Peter Sellers (in 3 separate roles).
The reference to riding on the nuclear warhead was about the 1964 movie _Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb_ (usually just shortened to 'Dr. Strangelove'), directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, and of course, Slim Pickens.
I'm actually in the middle of binge watching Boardwalk Empire with the amazing Steve Buscemi. I decided to pause and watch this great popcorn movie that has a gem of a performance by Steve Buscemi lol! All these years later I still cry st the end. Loved y'alls reactions and commentary as always!
Woohoo, I've been watching Boardwalk Empire too! We just bought a house built in the 1920s and I've always been a fan of the aesthetic of that era. My husband suggested I give it a watch and I love it.
Damn, I'm already got tears in my eyes just watching the pre-intro 😂 I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember crying every time I watched it way back when it came out. Can't wait to watch it with you and ugly cry it out.
Aww I just wanna give Quỳnh All The Hugz 😭😭😭😭 I'm really loving these 90's throw backs you guys are going while you wade through the HP nonsense, because I either haven't seen so many of these films in SO LONG or AT ALL because I was too young! Haha. I am feeling very cultured with these latest picks. Thanking you. 😆😆
The one you were talking about is a commercial airplane, without seats, just padded walls, the pilot dives down quickly, simulates no gravity. Not very expensive. Or go to a sky diving simulator, it’s a big tube, with a fan that holds you in the air.
The anti-gravity experience that you see with people such as Kate Upton is actually a jet which goes up to high altitudes and then descends very quickly at a rate of faster than 9.9 meters/seconds squared. Then it goes back up and does it again. That is why the interior of the area is padded. You can feel the same thing in a slingshot chair. I subscribed because 5th Element and Armageddon are two of my favorite movies ever.
Luck absolutely plays its part in survival situations. How lucky have we been, with thousands of meteorites striking the earth every day, that none of them have hit densely populated areas?
40:44 that is a reference to the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It's an absurdly dark comedy about nuclear war starting Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, and Peter Sellers. I think it's worth a watch on the channel.
Liked, subbed, notified... this is one of the most wholesome reactions ive ever seen... and Im a habitual watcher. I'm looking forward to all of your other content.
I always find it funny when Harry calls Quincy "Mr.Wizard" - given that Jason Isaacs later played Lucius Malfoy. Also some say that this movie sort of foreshadowed 9/11 - in meteor shower aftermath shot, the WTC both towers are hit by meteors, almost in same spots where planes hit. Fun fact - the shuttle launch is real one. Nasa allowed them to put their cameras when they had night time launch planned. I think it was shuttle Endeavor. They later made the scene to look like there's two of them, but the launch itself is real shuttle launch footage.
I know how your girl feels with all the tears! When I saw this in the theater, I was crying so hard I had to get up and leave. It wasn't till I watched it on DVD that I saw they got married! So I feel her pain watching this the first time!
The best of Michael Bay was in the 90s, in addition to Armageddon, it is mandatory to see his other 2 gems: The Rock with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris, and Bad Boys his first movie, with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
You guys are great to watch. I just discovered you from your 5th Element reaction and have worked my way through a few others already. You drew me in with 6 space or alien movies in the last month. So much fun watching younger folks watching the classics I grew up with. I'd love to see a reaction for Princess Bride, or Beetlejuice, or Ferris Beuller, or Forrest Gump. So many I wish I could see for the first time again. This movie has a great ability to make you laugh while you sob, and an amazing cast. Its a LOT less realistic than Apollo 13. For example, given that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was only 10-15 kilometers across, and they said this one was the size of Texas (1200+ km across), they drastically understated the danger in this movie. An asteriod the size of Texas would probably liquify the surface of Earth and wipe out ALL life, including even microbes, not just mankind. We wouldn't survive to die in a nuclear winter. That's about 1/6th the size of the rock that hit us that led to the creation of the Moon. They needed it to sound "big" for the movie, but that's totally unrealistic. Also, we have no defense currently against an asteroid of that size, even if we discovered it was a threat years in advance, let alone a couple weeks. Blowing it up would most likely just create a whole bunch of smaller rocks that would all hit us anyway. And your "they still didn't get any heads up" comment - for small rocks (which are still big enough to take out entire cities), we usually don't see them until they pass us, so we usually don't know about them until they enter the atmosphere, so a few seconds warning. As for the oil rig looking really dangerous, those jobs rank as the 3rd most dangerous, after logging workers and aircraft pilots (specifically private planes and helicopters). So yeah, really dangerous. If there was a group of people who aren't trained as astronauts, who might go to space and survive through sheer toughness, oil rig workers might be the ones.
Yes, made me laugh. I wanted to see Godzilla with my very first boyfriend but the movie didn't play at a siutable time for us. We had to be back at boarding school before the movie would have ended. So I never had the chance to see it in cinema.
This movie came out in a time where some blockbusters lived and died by their soundtracks. Even a bad movie, if it had a soundtrack that sold, would make bank, and they were marketed as hard as the films themselves. This was definitely one of them.
Loved the reaction! I have a few movie requests! “Bridge to Terabithia”, “Pearl Harbor", and “The Vow”. (Or at least have a poll somehow with these movies on them) Please! 😁
The narrator that did the voice over at the beginning was Charlton Heston.. a BIG BIG actor in years past.. RIP Charlton RIP Michael Clarke Duncan (Bear)
Aww, Quynh! 🥺 I feel bad for recommending this now. 😭😆 I love this movie though. I've watched it than any other movie. I always cry, even with this reaction. I love all the emotions it makes you feel. 🥰
I agree with both of you. I'm a sucker for the emotional strings they pull in this one and it's like, ugly cry mode. Deep Impact is just as moving, but it's more of a softer/silent type of ... I'm not sobbing, but tears won't stop running down my face energy.
A movie that has slipped under most radars, but is an incredible film with a fantastic cast....Big Trouble. The main star is Tim Allen, but the rest are amazing! I won't spoil anything, but it is worth a watch! I have been trying to talk someone into reacting to it for years.
The swimming pool training at NASA is called "Neutral Buoyancy training", it's the closest that can be done on earth to being weightless that doesn't involve being on a jet diving from high altitude on precisely calculated flight paths, which U.S.-trained astronaut candidates call "the Vomit Comet".
I Don't Want To MIss A Thing is the song I sang to my wife while waiting for her to come to America. We even played it at our wedding. All because of this movie such a great love song exists! Well and the movie is awesome of course! To note this song was made for thie movie! It even won awards!
I have to say Thank you for your reactions and comments Nick and Wi . I enjoyed your reactions here very much and they kept me smiling when you were laughing and I cried when Wi was crying . This was an emotional reaction for me very much . I am a happy subscriber to your channel and I do not miss a FRIENDS reaction . In many times this movie gets a lot of flack for not being a good movie or realistic enough. For me all the feels are there and I feel that it is real enough..... this is one of my favorite natural disaster movies . The scene between Harry and his daughter at the end was really heart wrenching and I cried even harder when I saw Wi crying . She has such a tender heart I am glad she enjoyed the happy moments when she was laughing . I look forward to your reactions for #Death Proof~ 2007 by Quentin Tarantino . Thank you again for this reaction
This movie has one of my favorite quotes "American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!"
Yes, that's a good quote. I was waiting to hear it.
I routinely threaten to fix things like they do "on Russian Space Station!"😂
That's my favorite quote from the movie, and it still makes me laugh every time I hear it
@@annawestall4395 😝
As an aerospace technician at boeing, this is probably the most accurate line of the whole movie.
Before becoming a actor Steve Bushcemi was a Firefighter and when 9/11 happened he went to NYC to help without anyone knowing.
I've always loved him and knowing that he did that just made me love him more.
That got leaked kind of fast that he was there. Robin Williams was the first celebrity to donate blood.
Armageddon was 1998.
He was also in Airheads, The Wedding Singer, Billy Madison, Con Air, The Big Lebowski, Big Daddy, Reservoir Dogs and Fargo prior to 9/11 happening.
Yes, he was a first responder, but he has been acting for many, many years prior to 9/11.
I’ve heard this before, and it’s just another reason to love the guy, talented and a good man!
He still volunteers with his local fire department. He has a lot of friends there and he participates in their cooking. The guys all cook while doing their shifts. Buscemi made a documentary about his involvement with the fire department.
This film should come with a warning. I've seen it probably 30 times and I still cry.
Yep. Same here.
Count me in
Yes!
not just cry, ugly cry.
Don't know either of you but i want to hug my girl. Yall seem so sweet!
The song you guys loved was by Steven Tyler… Liv Tyler’s dad… he saw the scene of her screaming daddy and had to do it…
A little correction - Aerosmith only performed the song, they did not wrote it, though - "I don't want to miss a thing" was written by Diane Warren. But you're right, that scene was what convinced Steven to do the song as he was initially reluctant when they were offered to perform the title song
The Russian dude, Lev, is legit the best character in here. Literally saves everybody, has unique personality and does all right, even fixes the god damn ship, even cares about the AJ so much as to save him when everybody abandoned him. I love how the actor did the role.
That actor, whos name escapes me, crushes it in every flick hes in.
@@TheGillenium Peter Stormare, Swedish actor.
Is just so sad to know how Bruce is right now, i hope his family and him can found some peace on this situation. Such a wonderful actor that mark an era in all of our lives
A Knight's Tale is a fun movie from the early 2000s with a lot of humor
This is a brilliant suggestion, I second it! A Knight's Tale is practically flawless.
I actually have been meaning to react to that thank you for reminding me!
Don't show her the Green mile, poor sweetheart's gonna break. You two are darlings ☺️
Maybe one day…
Don't feel bad about crying. That one always gets me every time. It is a very emotional movie. It hits pretty hard!
That's the point of movies, right? They were made to convince us that it's actually real. Even though we know it's not, we can feel empathy for the situation. A great sign that you don't lack imagination and empathy. Unfortunately we have some people on this planet who lack both.
this is a movie even men tear up in, as at its core, its about a father giving everything to protect his daughter
This is the first movie I watched as a kid that literally broke me. Bruce Willis has always reminded me of my dad same personality and demeanor. This is a classic and yes I cry every time I watch it. 💜
Oh God. I distinctly remember watching Armageddon for the first time and crying the hardest I ever cried in a movie up until that point, because I put myself in Grace's shoes when losing her father.

@@Markyajv Yes ,that's a really interesting movie. -But the toxic masculinity explains why there are so many shots of Liv Tyler that make me unconfortable rewatching now.

I need to listen to the commentary now!
"if you wanna do drug, do it" omfg hahahaahahahahahhah

I like him in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" an entirley different movie from Bruce Willis's usual genre
Aw, poor Quýnh. She was really going through it. ❤️ Same girl, same.
I would also recommend watching Deep Impact; it came out the same time Armageddon did.

Woohoo, I've been watching Boardwalk Empire too! We just bought a house built in the 1920s and I've always been a fan of the aesthetic of that era. My husband suggested I give it a watch and I love it.
Damn, I'm already got tears in my eyes just watching the pre-intro 😂 I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember crying every time I watched it way back when it came out.
Can't wait to watch it with you and ugly cry it out.
Bruce is one of his best movies
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW OR VOLCANO
Ooo year, Volcano. Or, my fave, Twister
@@VaninaVlogs TWISTER IS AWESOME TOO OR DANTE'S PEAK
On our list!
@@nickreacts6394 Awesome 👍
I LOVE this movie!! I cry every single time, but it's worth it!! 😭
44:15 "If you wanna do drugs, do it!" her comment floored me:))))))
Heyyy that's such a real comment though 😂
i think you will like "Lucky Number Slevin" . Bruce Willis did a good job on this one and there are a lot of great actors on this one.
Aww I just wanna give Quỳnh All The Hugz 😭😭😭😭 I'm really loving these 90's throw backs you guys are going while you wade through the HP nonsense, because I either haven't seen so many of these films in SO LONG or AT ALL because I was too young! Haha. I am feeling very cultured with these latest picks. Thanking you. 😆😆
This was a case of two films coming out at a similar time on sane sorta theme...the other film here,"Deep Impact ",is also worth a look,Nick🎩
The one you were talking about is a commercial airplane, without seats, just padded walls, the pilot dives down quickly, simulates no gravity. Not very expensive. Or go to a sky diving simulator, it’s a big tube, with a fan that holds you in the air.
Dead Again, and A Stranger Among Us.
The classic movie reference was to Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, starring Peter Sellers.
The anti-gravity experience that you see with people such as Kate Upton is actually a jet which goes up to high altitudes and then descends very quickly at a rate of faster than 9.9 meters/seconds squared. Then it goes back up and does it again. That is why the interior of the area is padded. You can feel the same thing in a slingshot chair. I subscribed because 5th Element and Armageddon are two of my favorite movies ever.
Luck absolutely plays its part in survival situations. How lucky have we been, with thousands of meteorites striking the earth every day, that none of them have hit densely populated areas?
I couldn’t agree more, luck is such a huge factor
40:44 that is a reference to the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It's an absurdly dark comedy about nuclear war starting Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, and Peter Sellers. I think it's worth a watch on the channel.
Liked, subbed, notified... this is one of the most wholesome reactions ive ever seen... and Im a habitual watcher. I'm looking forward to all of your other content.
That is such a nice compliment thank you!
I always find it funny when Harry calls Quincy "Mr.Wizard" - given that Jason Isaacs later played Lucius Malfoy. Also some say that this movie sort of foreshadowed 9/11 - in meteor shower aftermath shot, the WTC both towers are hit by meteors, almost in same spots where planes hit.
Fun fact - the shuttle launch is real one. Nasa allowed them to put their cameras when they had night time launch planned. I think it was shuttle Endeavor. They later made the scene to look like there's two of them, but the launch itself is real shuttle launch footage.
I know how your girl feels with all the tears! When I saw this in the theater, I was crying so hard I had to get up and leave. It wasn't till I watched it on DVD that I saw they got married! So I feel her pain watching this the first time!
Awww, you two are ADORABLE 🥰 i have just subscribed due to this reaction. Looking forward to watching more. Thankyou.
Sending love from the U.K. ❤x
Lol! "I know that guy! It's Bad Santa." Oh, I wonder how Billy Bob Thornton feels about that! 😂😂
If you guys liked this movie you should watch "Greenland", they have some similarities.
The best of Michael Bay was in the 90s, in addition to Armageddon, it is mandatory to see his other 2 gems: The Rock with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris, and Bad Boys his first movie, with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
You guys are great to watch. I just discovered you from your 5th Element reaction and have worked my way through a few others already. You drew me in with 6 space or alien movies in the last month. So much fun watching younger folks watching the classics I grew up with. I'd love to see a reaction for Princess Bride, or Beetlejuice, or Ferris Beuller, or Forrest Gump. So many I wish I could see for the first time again.
This movie has a great ability to make you laugh while you sob, and an amazing cast.
Its a LOT less realistic than Apollo 13. For example, given that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was only 10-15 kilometers across, and they said this one was the size of Texas (1200+ km across), they drastically understated the danger in this movie. An asteriod the size of Texas would probably liquify the surface of Earth and wipe out ALL life, including even microbes, not just mankind. We wouldn't survive to die in a nuclear winter. That's about 1/6th the size of the rock that hit us that led to the creation of the Moon. They needed it to sound "big" for the movie, but that's totally unrealistic.
Also, we have no defense currently against an asteroid of that size, even if we discovered it was a threat years in advance, let alone a couple weeks. Blowing it up would most likely just create a whole bunch of smaller rocks that would all hit us anyway. And your "they still didn't get any heads up" comment - for small rocks (which are still big enough to take out entire cities), we usually don't see them until they pass us, so we usually don't know about them until they enter the atmosphere, so a few seconds warning.
As for the oil rig looking really dangerous, those jobs rank as the 3rd most dangerous, after logging workers and aircraft pilots (specifically private planes and helicopters). So yeah, really dangerous. If there was a group of people who aren't trained as astronauts, who might go to space and survive through sheer toughness, oil rig workers might be the ones.
19:02 The Aerosmith do the OST, and the lead singer is Steven Tyler, who is the father of Liv Tyler who plays Grace! 🙂🥰
American Godzilla 1998 came out the same year / summer as this - hence the Godzilla toy jab at the beginning.
Yes, made me laugh. I wanted to see Godzilla with my very first boyfriend but the movie didn't play at a siutable time for us. We had to be back at boarding school before the movie would have ended. So I never had the chance to see it in cinema.
Lol win made me cry so much harder than i usually do at this lol
This movie came out in a time where some blockbusters lived and died by their soundtracks. Even a bad movie, if it had a soundtrack that sold, would make bank, and they were marketed as hard as the films themselves. This was definitely one of them.
Loved the reaction! I have a few movie requests! “Bridge to Terabithia”, “Pearl Harbor", and “The Vow”. (Or at least have a poll somehow with these movies on them) Please! 😁
The narrator that did the voice over at the beginning was Charlton Heston.. a BIG BIG actor in years past.. RIP Charlton
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan (Bear)
Aww, Quynh! 🥺 I feel bad for recommending this now. 😭😆 I love this movie though. I've watched it than any other movie. I always cry, even with this reaction. I love all the emotions it makes you feel. 🥰
If you cried at Armageddon, you are not gonna wanna watch Deep Impact. It is much more the drama to Armageddon's Sci-Fi blockbuster approach
Personally, Armageddon impacted me emotionally much more than Deep Impact. Deep Impact just felt too clinical and cerebral.
I agree with both of you. I'm a sucker for the emotional strings they pull in this one and it's like, ugly cry mode. Deep Impact is just as moving, but it's more of a softer/silent type of ... I'm not sobbing, but tears won't stop running down my face energy.
Please watch Deep Impact. It was released around the same time as Armageddon with the same premise but I think it’s just a little bit better!
I’ve seen this several times, cries every time. 😢
And if you haven’t watched Pearl Harbor I can recommend it :)
Glad you were able to watch it together so you didn’t have to cry alone ❤
A movie that has slipped under most radars, but is an incredible film with a fantastic cast....Big Trouble. The main star is Tim Allen, but the rest are amazing! I won't spoil anything, but it is worth a watch! I have been trying to talk someone into reacting to it for years.
That movie is Hilarious!
Thank you for recommending I haven’t heard of that one!
I LOVE that movie & it's a shame that it seems most people haven't heard of it
All I know is there is a beep, and I'm trying to get us there.
"That's me playing video games." 😂😂😂😂 me too.
i really love watching yo two... you guys are just too sweet lolol.. xo I"m serious.. i really enjoy the energy and vibe you guys bring.. :)
Honestly thank you so much!
If I were a character in this movie, it would SOOO be Rockhound! LOL
The swimming pool training at NASA is called "Neutral Buoyancy training", it's the closest that can be done on earth to being weightless that doesn't involve being on a jet diving from high altitude on precisely calculated flight paths, which U.S.-trained astronaut candidates call "the Vomit Comet".
There's a Bruce Willis movie I never hear talked about, but I just love it. It's flipping hilarious and he sings! It's called Hudson Hawk.
You guys are the best reviewers!
Big, big fan of Bruce Willis. But in my opinion "Deep Impact", released around the same time and based on the same premise was a much better movie.
Deep Impact is a gem of a movie.
operation broken arrow is one of my old favorits from the 90s
I love this movie love your reaction!
I Don't Want To MIss A Thing is the song I sang to my wife while waiting for her to come to America. We even played it at our wedding. All because of this movie such a great love song exists! Well and the movie is awesome of course! To note this song was made for thie movie! It even won awards!
I have to say Thank you for your reactions and comments Nick and Wi . I enjoyed your reactions here very much and they kept me smiling when you were laughing and I cried when Wi was crying . This was an emotional reaction for me very much . I am a happy subscriber to your channel and I do not miss a FRIENDS reaction . In many times this movie gets a lot of flack for not being a good movie or realistic enough.
For me all the feels are there and I feel that it is real enough..... this is one of my favorite natural disaster movies .
The scene between Harry and his daughter at the end was really heart wrenching and I cried even harder when I saw Wi crying . She has such a tender heart I am glad she enjoyed the happy moments when she was laughing .
I look forward to your reactions for #Death Proof~ 2007 by Quentin Tarantino . Thank you again for this reaction
Harry's sacrifice and Max's death were the two moments that made me shed a tear. Still one of my favorite films.
"I don't wanna close my eyeees!"
This, Batman Forever, man, 90s films has the best soundtracks.
I cant blame you Gwen, I cried every time I watched this movie. The music! Guys you could check the Leathal Weapon movies, Rush Hour movies. SO good!
I’ve seen this movie over a dozen times and I bawl my eyes out every single time. Bruce Willis always delivers ❤
