Summary: Smith does it again!
Review: This really should be 4.5 stars. My only trouble is the strange audio. The spoken audio was too soft and thus all the action was far too loud when it popped in and surprised me. I ended up changing my center channel volume to avoid it, but it could have been better. As far as the content, this is one of the greatest movies that has come out lately in the comedy arena. The casting was very well done, adding to the appeal of the movie. Jay and Silent Bob finally get the screen time that they are worthy of! Boo-Yah! As always, Smith is loyal to the actors that got him where he is, and that quality just adds a little something to his movies. The story presented is just a knock-out that provides an endless opportunity for comedy, and it's used to the fullest. Some people don't care for religous humor, but this movie isn't for those people. You can't go wrong with this movie if you are a true comedy afficienado.

Summary: Gory satire
Review: For me, this movie started out with the right amount of irreverant anti-religeous zeal, but then became perverted into just another gory chop 'em up "road trip." If it had stuck with the satirical humor it could have worked better. For me, it stopped being funny when the violence became explicit. The monster from the toilet was funny, and that type of violemce (implied but not seen) made for a better film. It is too bad that it deteriorated into a "I can make this more graphic than the last movie made" type movie. It lost points with me.

Summary: Incredibly Well-Layered Film
Review: Wow. So few movies succeed at doing what Dogma accomplishes almost effortlessly: laying down a story so well thought-out and complex that it can be viewed and enjoyed in almost any context.Director Kevin Smith offers a script so brimming over with forbidden thoughts, one might mistakenly think his intent is merely to shock. But Smith wisely roadmaps his assertions to his audience, bringing us to the conclusion that, gee, this guy really thought about it. Think of Smith as a thinking man's Tarantino, able to fire off mile-a-minute fascinating banter, but without the sophomoric undertones. Characters are round and clearly defined, even if some of the introductions are a bit speechy (Alan Rickman's entrance dialogue with Linda Fiorentino comes immediately to mind). The story itself is briliantly written, twisting and turning deftly on the many loopholes and contradictions man has introduced to religion. In the end, Smith returns us to a playful, relaxed atmosphere. But we walk away knowing there is much to learn and consider here, and that additional viewings will undoubtedly be necessary in order to grasp the fullness of Smith's vision.

Summary: Very very good!
Review: Smith gives religion a kick in the backside, in this surprisingly deep movie.

Summary: Best movie I've seen
Review: I rented this movie by accident ome night, I'd never even heard of it. The best thing to say about it is that it kicked ass, plain and simple. It is very, very amusing, the acting is great, and the story itself is extremely clever. Jay and Bob are the bomb together. An awesome movie, no doubt!

Summary: SELLOUT!
Review: OK, so this is actually a great movie, especially for all you Kevin Smith and Jay & Silent Bob fans. However, while a 5-star movie it may be, this DVD totally stinks it up. After getting all the goods on his other movies in their DVD form, Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy, we get this piece of crap. True, it's got good sound and picture, but isn't that what should be expected of a DVD, superior sound and picture quality? I expected much more from Smith on this in the extras department, but all we get is a lousy trailer for this movie and 'Opposite of Sex', a film that's been out for about 2 years now. Now I hear they're putting out a special edition DVD version of this flick with all the cut scenes and commentary. Of course as a fan I feel compelled to go out and buy that one, too, just to get a glimpse at Smith's larger vision. So there goes Miramax getting twice the cash from me, the innocent consumer, for the one movie. I feel violated. Why oh why did you screw us over Mr. Smith?

Summary: Choose comedy or drama
Review: I was very disapointed in this film. It starts out as a light hearted comedy about two angels who were kicked out of Heaven but have now found a loop hole to get back in. The begining of the film is funny with a lot of great one liners but after that it's all down hill. This is the kind of movie were can't stop looking at your watch to try to find out how much longer you have to sit through this torture.

Summary: And God said Ha!
Review: OK Kevin, you've made your point! Yes, you are clearly one of most interesting flimmakers out right now. I've seen all the movies and Dogma was only an appropriate follow-up to your stream of brutally funny and intelligent films. Dogma is not for the religiously up-tight or the squeamish, it's a contraversial treat for the open-minded intellectuals who know there's more to this experiment called Existence than meets the eye or soul. Although sometimes Kevin Smith's films get overly talky and in this one a tad preachy, the light of his magnificent concept is illuminated. It has most of the usual Smith film elements, tons of vulgar dialogue and a few consistent characters Jay and Silent Bob. Like all his films, Dogma is very animated and has the energy and texture of comic books. This film stirs up a religious stew and may leave many with a sour taste. It has its moments of sheer lunacy and some may see it as simply a cartoonish fantasia. But listen closely to the words between the words and thoughts being provoked and you can see that this comedy on religion, God/Christ, faith, and myth, is actually a cinematic paradigm of questioning belief systems. Ha--llejuah!

Summary: Smith's Crisp but not a hot potato
Review: The long awaited Dogma - first promised on the end titles of Clerks - takes Silent Bob & Jay to their next target. Having approached sex, drugs, romance & shopping (and achieved an incredibly gratifying nothing) organised religion pops up next. With the entirity of existence (begrudgingly) requiring their assitance the world is in trouble. This film came in for a lot of stick for its discussion of organised religion and faith. Denounced as blasphemous by many it raises many common criticisms of religion and Catholism - but does it do it well? Yes and No. The script is at times excellent and usually good however there is sometimes a feeling that Smith just doesnt quite know what he is doing or saying with his direction and the set pieces seem to lack a spark that would have made the film far more rounded. The performances from the cast are good especially Lee who puts in a great turn as Azrial. On the whole - good but not great. Better off watching Chasing Amy or Clerks but if your in the mood...
