Summary: One of the best movies of 1999
Review: In any other year, this might be the best film, but so many classics - American Beauty, Matrix, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich and many more - prevented this from being seen by much of the movie going audience, which is a shame. G.Clooney, M.Wahlberg and I.Cube give terrific performances in a story as timeless as the bible - how greed can destroy and divide, and how love for one's fellow man can see you through the other side, regardless of your differences. Plus, a cow blows up. How cool is that?

Summary: Surprisingly good!
Review: I had serious doubts(not being a "war" film buff. But it just sicked me in. That the combination of actors(Clooney, Wahlberg, Cube)really worked. The cinematography was the best I've seen in a while. Sort of surreal; unnatural colors, strange angels. And the use of music was interesting. A very unique movie!

Summary: Very good DVD
Review: This is defenitely not my favorite movie in the world. The bleached film and camera work that looks like a home video really annoys me. However, this is worth buying if you enjoyed the movie, since the DVD is packed with Extras. The video journal by David Russell is the most fascinating supplement I have ever seen on a DVD. I would have bought it for that alone! You must see it if you are intersted in how a movie gets made, it is really neat. If only this had a commentary track with Spize Jonze and Ice Cube...

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I went to see this movie as a die hard George Clooney fan and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I thought George did a great job. Although I am not a war-movie fan, the plot, the cast, the cinematography and the music hooked me. This movie touched on so many emotions. A movie that can do that is worth viewing and I've viewed this one three times! Definately a must see.

Summary: One of the best movies ever
Review: I expected not much from this movie. A typical stupid war movie, but it wasn't. Mark Wahlbergs performance is outstanding. This movie has more genres than other movies have: Comedy, War Movie, Drama and Action. I recommend this movie always up with Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket.

Summary: Risky movie pays off
Review: Three Kings tried something fresh and different. It didn't receive any from the "Academy", but don't pass it up. It's a war film, an action film, a comedy and a drama... and it actually plays off well. The DVD is amazing...I'm telling you. It has more extras and goodies than I've seen on any DVD before. Well worth the money.

Summary: Three Kings
Review: If you read some of the reviews before mine, you will see that the ones that did not like the film didn't like that it changed moods throughout, from comedy to action to drama. That is the best part! You don't have any idea what will happen next, but you can't wait until it does. I did not have this on my short list to see last fall, but when I did , I was blown away by every scene and every shot. Smart, funny and eventually very moving. I guarantee every minute of this film to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Summary: Clever Movie
Review: David O Russell's "Three Kings" is the film that I would name clever. It's original, hyper, brilliant, stylish, effective, intelligent, well-acted, and a masterpiece. It vibrates with style and energy. Like the best films of Oliver Stone and Martin Scorsese, this is a movie that's always alive through writing and performances. Not to mention the visual look. Finally George Clooney makes a film that really does deserve four stars. "Three Kings" is never boring and always action-packed, but it's not some stupid action flick, this is a movie that raises issues, explores the mechanics of war and the people involved. It doesn't use the Arabs as stereotyps, in fact, it paints them almost as equals to the American soldiers. Russells makes a great point, showing that the other side suffers just as much as us. "Three Kings" shows how the world is getting smaller and the word "minority" can't be used as much, which is just as good. Then there's the brilliant cinematography that has an energy of it's own. The performances are superb and as in "Out Of Sight" Clooney proves he isn't just an actor used as a package to sell an action movie like "From Dusk Till Dawn"(which was a cool movie). I recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: Finally, A soldiers movie for a new generation
Review: When I first saw this film, I just graduated from my job training in the Army. My class mates and I found this an excellent movie. 2 reservists, one active duty, and one officer all find a way to make their time in the war profitable. This movie is M*A*S*H for our generation.
