I'd only partially agree.  Deep Impact had much better emotional 
development, but was overall poorly written.  Combined with the fact 
that it took itself so seriously, it was just painful for me to watch. 
Armageddon was poor in quality throughout, but was lighthearted and 
didn't take itself seriously at all.  In all, it was a much more 
enjoyable film.

But I guess it all depends on what you look for.  I find that many Sci 
Fi fans, for instance, are willing to overlook the common failings of 
the genre (poor characterization, dialogue, plot development, etc) and 
focus only on the parts that grab them (the societal observations, the 
twist endings, etc).  I guess something in Deep Impact must have 
resonated with you more than Armageddon did.
