Yes Armageddon sucks but thats mostly as its a Bay film.
I loved MI4, Cloverfield, Star Trek, Roadkill and Super 8.
Most of all I LOVED Lost. Most EPIC TV show ever made!
A film only sucks if the script is poor, and the script for the above is poor, Michael Bay is visually a brilliant director he just chooses films with piss poor scripts. Think about this would Schindler's list be any different if it was directed by someone else. What if it still had the same screenplay but instead of Speilberg it was Brett Ratner, directors direct and unless they've written the film they, that's all they do. To say Armageddon is a crap film would be correct, but that is due to the script in which the film is based.

Alot of people bad mouth directors and sure some are bad but the majority of films that aren't written and directed by one person and turn out bad is all down to a guy sat a computer typing words.
