Summary: Worth watching.
Review: This is a good movie. I don't know if I would reccomend buying it, but it is definitely worth renting. People in the military could relate well with it. I watched it with my son who is in the Army and he explained a lot of things to me.

Summary: You were smoking what while reviewing this, Fogelberg?
Review: This movie is great and I'm sick of people panning it so much! It doesn't seem to me like a war movie at all, but just a story trying to tell what people do when they get thrown all the wrong cards, including the lives of dozens of others depending on them. The actors are all great, especially Mark Wahlberg. Despite the extremely opposing reviews and opinions of it, I recommend it to everyone to make up their own minds and stop being told what to think by other reviewers (such as myself).

Summary: THE BEST
Review: I had to write this review after reading what the guy from Russia said. This movie was incredible the camera work was great and George Clooney and the entire supporting cast did a wonderful job. If you had a choice between Ace Ventura and this well if you are a serious film buff. You will make the right decision. ENJOY

Summary: Best war movie ever
Review: The first idea that comes to my mind is the Originality of the movie, no movie has ever treated of war like this one, moreover, the Gulf War hasn't been used in many movies yet. Then, there is the great directing, as far as I can remember, the Dorector has done a great job in mixing different musics. Finally, all the actors are amazing, so my only advice is for you to buy this movie, if it's not for the seriousness of the story, then buy for the fun you'll have while watching it.

Summary: Russell's best movie to date.
Review: Last night I saw the UK Premier of 'Three Kings' with a friend of mine. The main question running through my mind was, is this going to be just another gung-ho Schwarzenegger movies but set after the Gulf War? I came out of the cinema with the answer I didn't expect. It is one of the most anti-American movies to date, attacking the Bush administration and the handling of the war. The cinematography was a great feat with different cinematographic films signifying the emotions of the soldiers, and mindblowing special effects. But this isn't just an action movie, it has a spiritual and philosophical twist and many moral issues are raised throughout. For your own sake, please watch this movie, it will make you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Summary: Not the best war movie ever, but a great testament to man
Review: What makes a good war movie? Is it an enormous amount of action and kill scenes. No. Is it a large number of big name actors. No. A great war movie constitutes an emotional feeling, it shows the two spectrums man undergoes while in combat. In a war man can be said to be at his ugliest. That is why, when war movies reach to the other end and show how the human spirit can in fact be good even at the time of war, that movie is said to have a great impact. I feel Three Kings does just that. This film also has an edge to it you do not see in many films today, it is almost revolutionary. Also, Spike Jonze gives a great performance in this film, which is his acting debut. He also had a monster film for his feature film directorial debut, Being John Malcovich. Spike Jonze could be one of the most underrated men of the year. If you want to see the greatest war movie ever you really have three choices, Full Metal Jacket, Platton, and Saving Private Ryan.

Summary: Message To Moviegoers: Welcome To The New Generation
Review: It may go down in the history of film that 1999 was one of those years that broke the mold. This year a new generation of filmakers broke mainstream, those raised on MTV and such icons as Stone and the Beastie Boys. In comedy, Spike Jonze dazzled with the brilliant Being John Malkovitch, in Europe Tom Twyker's Run Lola Run broke the rules of time and film concept. In drama, however, it was David O Russel's Three Kings that led the pack. Ignored at the Oscars, this film is one of the best of the year. It is everything a movie should be: entertaining, thoughtful, and original. One of Russel's strongest characteristics is his visual style, a style that is the so clearly defined you can barley believe it is that of a young filmaker. The film also boasts strong performances from Clooney, Whalberg, Cube, and the previously mentioned Spike Jonze, whose portrayal of a redneck soldier is one of the film's strongest elements. As for story and script, the film is equally strong. In conclusion, Three Kings is not only a great film on its own, but a great represention of what may be the new breed. Old school: Take heed.

Summary: One of the top five of 1999!
Review: A smart and funny war film that shows you don't have to be unoriginal to tell a war story. I think that Speilberg's Saving Pvt. Ryan is a poor film because it's dialogue and character development lack any realism and originality, this film however has those qualities in abundance. Great acting all around, a smart script and unflinching direction, this film is very creative. In what could have been a typical war film director David O. Russell adds the reality and intelligence of a world that has become completely commercial. In doing so the story becomes new and fun. It's one part action, one part drama and one part comedy and amazingly they all work.

Summary: great movie, not what i had expected
Review: Hmm, when i first saw the previews, i thought, just a bunch of hunks strutting thier stuff, no storyline, no real acting. So untrue. This movie had a realness to it and the acting on Ice Cube, Wahlberg, Clooney were splendid. The storyline is very capturing and believable. They mix humor with seriousness and that gives the movie a twist. There is a moral to the story and it id very touching. Go rent it or buy it, it is definitely worth watching again.
