SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
kliko400 Now I seriously do not understand, Armageddon PPV's just seem so boring & also a let down. This year's Armageddon, almost all the superstars that I was rooting to win have lost.FIRST MATCH- JBL W/ JILLIAN HALL VS. MATT HARDY Not bad this match was. Technically it was a bit of a brawl. JBL wins after a Clothesline From Hell. 4/10 SECOND MATCH- MNM W/ MELINA VS. SUPER CRAZY & PSICOSIS Okay tag team match, which of course the Tag Team Titles were supposed to be on the line, but it was not to be. MNM win after nailing a double team on Super Crazy called the Snapshot for the win. 4/10 THIRD MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL IN MATCH 4 OF THE BEST OF 7 SERIES FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Finally a great match on the card, also this is probably the best match Benoit & Booker T pulled so far in the Series matches. Chris Benoit finally wins a point against Booker T after making him tap out to the Sharpshooter for the great hard win. 5/10 FOURTH MATCH- BOBBY LASHLEY VS. PAUL BURCHILL & WILLIAM REGAL IN A 1-2 HANDICAP MATCH Mostly just a squash, Bobby Lashley defeats both men after nailing the Dominator on Burchill for the win. 3/10 FIFTH MATCH- JUVENTUD VS. KID KASH FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP I like Cruiserweight matches but this one did not reach my expectations. Kid Kash wins after Juventud missed a slam from the top rope, which led Kid Kash to nail the Dead Level for the win to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. 3/10 SIXTH MATCH- BATISTA & REY MYSTERIO VS. KANE & BIG SHOW IN A CHAMPIONS VS. CHAMPIONS RAW VS. SMACKDOWN INTERPROMOTIONAL TAG TEAM MATCH Too slow & sloppy. To make it a good tag team match, it should of been a bit longer. Kane & Big Show win after Mysterio goes for the 619 on Kane only to be caught in mid-air with the Chokeslam for Kane & Big Show to get the win. 3/10 SEVENTH MATCH- RANDY ORTON W/ BOB ORTON VS. UNDERTAKER IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH Good match, too bad Undertaker had to win as I was really rooting for Orton to win. Still it was a great HIAC match not the best of course. Both men were busted open in this dangerous match. At one point during the match, Orton cross-bodied Taker through a table but Taker broke out of the count. Later Orton tries to use the urn on Taker, but Taker nails gets the urn & slams it on Orton. Later Taker finishes Orton off with a Tombstone for the win. 6/10 This year's Armageddon PPV was a bit better than last year's but I still didn't like it very much. Why are Armageddon PPV's always like this boring.Overall: I'll give it 5/10 & a DPS: R.I.P Eddie Guerrero, you were an all-star entertainer
wrestlingsitewebmaster The best Armageddon for five years. That was the thought when I looked at the card on paper and when I watched it. Armageddon in 2001/2002/2003/2004 was a let down, but in 2005 something changed. Sure not everything on the card was perfect, but it was a decent effort by the WWE.Bobby Lashley defeated William Regal and Birchill in a passable match. Kane and Big Show defeated Rey Mysterio and Batista, Batty and Rey showed great chemistry together and the match was good. Kid Kash defeated Juventud to capture the Cruiserweight title in a poor match, sad to say that but Kash and Juvi were superb talent before WWE laid their hands onto them. MNM defeated Super Crazy and Psicosis in a very good match. JBL defeated Matt Hardy in a good match. Chris Benoit defeated Booker T in an enjoyable match. The Undertaker defeated Randy Orton in a good Hell in a Cell.Overall Grade - B+
Stuart Wilson As far as a Smackdown! pay-per-view goes, Armageddon 2005 was one of the best. I couldn't tell you the last time I actually looked forward to a SD only event.The Hell in the Cell match pitting Randy Orton and The Undertaker was excellent. It was more Taken/HBK that it was Taker/Foley. Chairs, tables, ring steps and blood galore. It lived up to the hype. The only thing that disappointed with this match was the outcome. The Dead Man should have done the right thing and lay down for Orton as Mick Foley did in April 2004. What point did it make have the Undertaker win yet another Hell in a Cell match. WWE needs to be thinking long term. It must surly be time now for Randy Orton to move on to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship and a win at Armageddon would have set this up perfectly.The under-card was also good, JBL/Hardy, Mexicools/MNM, Benoit/Booker T and Raw vs Smackdown!. I thought Kane was going to plant Mysterio through the ring with that choke-slam. The only thing that let the event down was the out of ring actions. The segment featuring the "suicide" of former ref Timmy White was one of the most ridiculous and pointless things I've ever witnessed and who the hell wants to see the Boogeyman eat worms? I don't, lets hope he chokes and puts us all out of our misery one day.All in all, from an in ring stand point Armageddon 2005 was the best December pay-per-view I can recall watching. Lets hope it is a sign of things to come from Smackdown! in 2006.
CrowKing35 This was a great PPV! I recommend it to all WWE fans. The Hell In A Cell was the best part. Randy Orton got hurt badly. It is one of the best PPVs in my book. I simply loved it! The other matches were also thrilling. Batista & Mysterio vs. Kane & Big Show was a classic. If you are a serious WWE fan, then I recommend this to you. You simply cannot pass this one up. I went to see this live, and was very impressed! I won a Batista shirt as well! I highly recommend this. This was one of my favorites. Everyone will love this. It's a bit gory, though. This a PPV to remember. You MUST watch this, if you are a hardcore WWE fan!! Armageddon 2005 was just....."UNFORGETTABLE!"
