Summary: Great!
Review: I thought that the entire DVD package was great, but there was one small problem. In the director's commentary about the movie, and the deleted scenes, Kevin Smith kept talking about a commercial that was supposed to be produced and inserted into the movie, but it was cut for time. He said that they "may" put it on the DVD, but I've looked all over and can't find it. I'm assuming it's not on the disc. That's the only problem I have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but....
Review: I liked "Dogma" With it's star studded cast of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Linda Fiorentino, Alanis Morissette, and Jay and Silent Bob. What could go wrong right? The film was funny but to cluttered. The filmmaking was cluttered and not up to par. Kevin Smithis a great director but he made this film cluttered. Here is the plot:

Two banished angels (Affleck and Damon) find a loophole that would get them back into Heaven so they set off to go. The only problem is that if they got back into heaven it would prove that God (Morissette) would not be perfect and the world would end. So a girl (Fiorentino), the 13th Aposile (Rock), an angel (Hayek), and Jay and Silent Bob set off to stop them.

Seems like a good plot, right? It is and the acting is great, especcially by a very funny Rock and Jay and Silent Bob, but Kevin Smith makes the movie cluttered and sub-par bringing this funny and good movie down to four stars. This movie is incredibly funny, with jokes about sex and religion including Rock saying Jesus was black. Rent it but the directing wasn't the best because it was to cluttered.

Rated R for humor, language, violence, nudity, and drug content.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: God, this is one hell of a flick!
Review: Kevin Smith's Dogma is a brilliant comedy that's been misunderstood right from the begging. This movie doesn't mock religion. It simply jokes around about people's beliefs. It's cartoonish, savagely funny, and wonderfuly written. Smith isn't here to shock and offend. He has a message to tell. If anything, thelast thing this movie does is bash any religion. It tells you to have faith. And I tell you to have faith in this film. If you want to disagree with me, fine, make sure to vote against me, but faith is in the eye of the beholder, and to not give this movie a chance, truely proves who's ignorant in this situation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why can't they teach this in Sunday school?
Review: Why are there many different versions of Christian belief?

Why are there so many rules to believe in God and His Son?

This film answers these question simply, by saying, it's faith -- one's undying belief -- that matters, not what a church says, not what various Christian rules and regulations say how a person should believe. Those who felt offended may have missed the point of this movie. Don't take yourselves too seriously; in the end, we're all the same, and no one is better than another.

I may not believe in God, but I know if I were one, I'd have a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DogmaLover
Review: Dogma is a GREAT movie!!! It is hilarious and great for all ages that are allowed to hear rough language (there is a lot!!). I totally recommend this movie for anyone!!! Great actors and actresses and a great time!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good DVD, okay film.
Review: The DVD is packed with excellent features. The film isn't. The Catholic church is a very easy target for ridicule and this film always makes the easy jokes. At its best Dogma can be really quite funny but at its worst it is simply amateurish, unfortunately there is very little of the best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good stuff, but not too much different from the first DVD
Review: I know that this has "100 minutes of extra footage", but as Smith says, the reason it wasn't in the original cut was that it wasn't needed. I love the movie regardless, and the extra features are neat, but if you already have a copy, you might be better off just renting the Special Edition, as the extras were not really worth another 25 bucks to me. If you don't have a copy yet, this is the one to get.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Solid Improvement on an Excellent Original
Review: I found Dogma to be a wonderfully satirical statement on the state of organized religion. Using the backdrop of plenary indulgence possibly bringing about the end of existence was a delicious choice.

The Special Edition improves on the original product by adding some outstanding behind the scenes material. Though I found some of the outtakes to be tedious (the Matt Damon Star Wars one-liners as a notable exception), the rest of the material is excellent. The deleted scenes expand upon the story, most notably that of why Bethany was unable to have children and Azrael's description of why Hell was the way it was. The audio commentary was also very informative.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kevin Smith does it again
Review: Kevin Smith has a wonderful and twisted brain. He uses his amazing ability to turn things on their head making you think about them as view them from the skewed angle. Dogma pushes the buttons of organized religion while giving the agnostics something to contemplate. This is a trip worth repeating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dogma chases Catma
Review: I saw this film in the theater, then I saw it on DVD, but I waited until this special edition came out before I bought it. I'm glad I did.

The Special Edition is great from the start. The cover art is amazing, but the new design for the disks, which also happen to match with the DVD menus are hilarious!

Of course, with any Special Edition created by View Askew and Kevin Smith, there are lots of goodies such as deleted scenes, and outtakes. You are also treated to some commentary by Kevin and other people involved in the film (again just as in any other Special Edition by Mr. Smith). Most of which is praising you for your wise choice in purchasing this special edition, and scorning those who did not.

All in all, this DVD is well worth the few extra bucks over the regular Dogma DVD.
