**WE CRIED** watching Armageddon (1998) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@ec1032am]

This movie has one of my favorite quotes "American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan!"

[@sawanna508]

Yes, that's a good quote. I was waiting to hear it.

[@annawestall4395]

I routinely threaten to fix things like they do "on Russian Space Station!"😂

[@shannonbryan2191]

That's my favorite quote from the movie, and it still makes me laugh every time I hear it

[@bigdream_dreambig]

@@annawestall4395 😝

[@JetCityHooligan]

As an aerospace technician at boeing, this is probably the most accurate line of the whole movie.

[@melody9241]

Before becoming a actor Steve Bushcemi was a Firefighter and when 9/11 happened he went to NYC to help without anyone knowing.

[@kellifranklin4432]

I've always loved him and knowing that he did that just made me love him more.

[@andreadeamon6419]

That got leaked kind of fast that he was there. Robin Williams was the first celebrity to donate blood.

[@WolfsDE]

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.

[@nickreacts6394]

I’ve heard this before, and it’s just another reason to love the guy, talented and a good man!

[@nolasalazar]

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.

[@karlbecker8775]

This film should come with a warning. I've seen it probably 30 times and I still cry.

[@kellifranklin4432]

Yep. Same here.

[@pr9n3g]

[@nickreacts6394]

Yes!

[@thegladve]

not just cry, ugly cry.

[@blabbermouth2747]

Don't know either of you but i want to hug my girl. Yall seem so sweet!

[@AikanaroSauron]

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.

[@TheGillenium]

That actor, whos name escapes me, crushes it in every flick hes in.

[@DarknessIsThePath]

@@TheGillenium Peter Stormare, Swedish actor.

[@dayewest403]

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…

[@AJ1987LV]

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

[@lenchanted9698]

Don't show her the Green mile, poor sweetheart's gonna break. You two are darlings ☺️

[@nickreacts6394]

Maybe one day…

[@gerleg2652]

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

[@amandadorner]

A Knight's Tale is a fun movie from the early 2000s with a lot of humor

[@Moxie_Swagger]

This is a brilliant suggestion, I second it! A Knight's Tale is practically flawless.

[@nickreacts6394]

I actually have been meaning to react to that thank you for reminding me!

[@Killingglorie]

this is a movie even men tear up in, as at its core, its about a father giving everything to protect his daughter

[@RichardM1366]

Don't feel bad about crying. That one always gets me every time. It is a very emotional movie. It hits pretty hard!

[@Bunny99s]

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.

[@lyssalovesit]

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. 💜

[@MichelleMerinoArt]

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.

[@lyssalovesit]

saaame...i would even think about it days later and cry lol @@MichelleMerinoArt

[@correypeta]

Reminds me and my sister of our d add too! And seeing Bruce cry at the end.... it's too much.

[@nickreacts6394]

Can I just say your Dad sounds awesome! The father-daughter relationship in this movie was my favorite part 👌

[@KSDVLmom]

1st movie that made my dad cry

[@Maca494]

"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

[@melodramatic7904]

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]

Michael Bay is the epitome of a toxic, sexist, male director. But I do like The Island.

[@christopherking4932]

It's on the DVD bonus features I believe. It was beyond hilarious 😂

[@sawanna508]

@@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.

[@LOTRFAN33]

Im not convinced it would be easier. Just like i wouldn't expect them to train the oil drillers to fly the ship.

[@nickreacts6394]

I need to listen to the commentary now!

[@wettuga2762]

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.

[@sawanna508]

I like him in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" an entirley different movie from Bruce Willis's usual genre

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

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.

[@MichelleMerinoArt]

Aw, poor Quýnh. She was really going through it. ❤️ Same girl, same.

[@dassian]

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!

[@Setharino009]

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.

[@paulmayes76]

It's funny that you like that song during that scene is because that's the girl's real dad from Aerosmith Steve Tyler

[@christophercurtis4131]

I would also recommend watching Deep Impact; it came out the same time Armageddon did.

[@judysonnenberg6237]

Plus, Deep Impact had Elijah Wood, giving both movies a connection to Lord of the Rings

[@phtevenj]

Bear is John Coffey from the Green Mile

[@PugAshen]

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

[@ScarlettM]

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...

[@stephenochosiete9869]

Great movie! So many emotional moments❤️ love your reactions

[@ScarlettM]

If you haven't seen it, watch "Deep Impact". It's a sister movie to Armageddon. Released same year, similar plot, but very different overall mood.

[@TheGillenium]

36:05 ... your passion right here is admirable lol

[@lisamccue1730]

You two are so wonderful together. It's wonderful to see. I enjoyed watching you more than the movie bits.

[@alyshaharper8730]

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.

[@shallowgal462]

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.

[@SarahTheBloody]

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]

Do you have a favorite from those three? All I know is that they are disaster movies

[@SarahTheBloody]

@@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. ♥

[@janabraam7963]

This is my favorite space movie. Fantastic cast!!

[@belvagurr403]

Michael Clarke Duncan, John Coffey, got the GREEN MILE movie from from Bruce Willis’ recommendation after working with him on this movie.

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 ❤

[@keetahbrough]

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

[@Cookie_moonlove]

@@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.

[@okumabear]

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.

[@Will_3000]

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.

[@nickreacts6394]

I couldn’t agree more, luck is such a huge factor

[@Nimbus1701]

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.

[@serinx]

American Godzilla 1998 came out the same year / summer as this - hence the Godzilla toy jab at the beginning.

[@sawanna508]

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.

Personally, Armageddon impacted me emotionally much more than Deep Impact. Deep Impact just felt too clinical and cerebral.

[@alextuttle7762]

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.

[@AJ1987LV]

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.

[@belvagurr403]

The theme song is sung by Clay Walker during the movie, Liv Tyler’s dad Steven Tyler sings the song at the end of the movie.

[@MorriganAtwood]

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.

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.

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.
