(might contain spoilers) Space Cowboys was a pleasant watch, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that it lacks something. That something probably is originality. This movie is a funnier copy of Armaggedon. Almost same story - the Earth is in danger because something in space, and the protagonists have to save the day -, the same problems with the crew - in Armageddon Bruce Willis had nothing to do with NASA, here a bunch of old guys that never went in space, the same training issues, even the same ending - with the hero accomplishing his "super-objective". The only difference is that this is much funnier. Still its lack of originality makes it a lot weaker than it really is. Vote: 5 out of 10.
