Summary: Kevin Takes A Chance, and It Works!
Review: Mature, Intelligent, Thought-Provoking, Controversial, and intense. "Dogma" truly shows that director Kevin Smith isn't a kid anymore. He isn't going for the easy joke or the vulgar comment (which can be very funny, I must admit). His recent cinema adventure is really couragous. He had to know he was going to get major crap about his movie, but what everyone didn't know is how smart he is and what a wonderful script this is. It isn't about bashing the Catholic Church. Not at all....in fact, I have a feeling he educated MANY on the Church.

The cast is very strong in many areas. Ben Afflect, Matt Damon, Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, and Linda Fiorentino, and Jason Lee (who I always want to have larger parts) are very good and well worth the price of the DVD alone. But, it's Jay and Silent Bob that are the biggest and positive surprise. FABULOUS! Absolutley priceless.

I applaud Kevin Smith for taking a chance and trying something different. This is a mature film with many levels. It's intelligent and it works for me. Two Thumbs Up!

Summary: dogmarific
Review: Dogma, although a satire, really makes you think about the difference between beliefs. Although the language is slightly offensive the overall structure of the moving is hilarious, thought provoking and even uplifting. It is definitely worth seeing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: One of the best movies in years - a religious movie for the rest of us! I use it with my high-school Sunday School class. It uses the best of modern and postmodern theology. Basically, it is Kierkegaard, with a plot, and accessible.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dogma a Dog
Review: I am not a Catholic, or member of any other organized religion for that matter, so I was eagerly expecting irreverent, intelligent, and witty theo-illogical comedy from Dogma. What I experienced was more like a bad acid trip commandeered by graduate-school PC theological tedium mixed with prepubescent sex and scat jokes. This movie has no reason to exist beyond the smattering of one-liners and a certain stoner hipness, but even these are cliched or pretentious beyond tolerability. Even the considerable talents of its ensemble cast can't save this drivel from the postmodern trash heap. If this is what ex-Catholics are struggling with, god help them! This film is an insult to anyone with an ounce of spirituality left in them. It knows not from whence it came nor what it wants to say. Honestly the worst film I've seen in years.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kevin Smith at his best -- Almost
Review: I've like all of Kevin Smith's previous films (Mallrats, Chasing Amy, etc.) and this one is no different. There is a good storyline and the dialogue is extremely funny. He is a great director/writer. However, Dogma, Smith's biggest budget movie yet, just didn't have the feel and appeal has his lower budget films. Conversly, I did love all of the famous comedic actors in the film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh My God does Kevin Smith know how to write!
Review: This movie touched me in so many ways. I am a christian and a major one and I think it's time for us to get a piece of our own medicine. When a person who is a Christian writes a movie about Jews, Jews don't care. They run Hollywood! But when a Christian makes a movie about Christianity people get so upset and start picketing outside and you know other Religions are making fun of us because of it. This movie was so well written and so well directed that it left me in tears when I first read it, as I'm sure it will to you all. Kevin Smith is an amazing director and deserves all the acclaim he can get for his work, and anyone who tells you other wise it's just blind or dumb. Or if they are a critic then they are probably both. Peace for now, Jon Moody.

Summary: Kevin Smith at his best
Review: Kevin Smith is probably the greatest film director to come in recent years. Like his previous films, Smith relies more on verbal wit than slapstick humor. Dogma is no exception. When two angels discover a loophole in Catholic dogma that will allow them to return to heaven, they embark on a quest to New Jersy. The problem, if they arrive, they will negate all of existance by proving God wrong. Needless to say, this is not very good. It's now up to the last Zion, 2 weed smoking 'prophets', the thirteenth Apostle (played excellently by Chris Rock), and a Muse with writer's block to stop them. There are no slackers in this cast, and although the film does see religion from a skeptics point of view, it takes Catholic religion very seriously.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dogmatic
Review: A must see for all over 15. This is one of the most innovative movies I have ever seen. The movie progresses at a rate which all will enjoy. The way characters are introduced by falling out of the sky is hilarious. The dialog is a bit crude, but that only makes it that much better. All star cast, all star movie. Kevin Smith has to be one of the best writer/director/actor/etc. in a long time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another diamond by Kevin Smith
Review: I am constantly amazed by Kevin Smith's movies, always profound and thought provoking. Even if the movie isn't that good it still makes you think. This is a good movie and you can't help but ponder the existence of God whether you regularly attend church or not. For the religious this I a must see, it helps you appreciate the other side of beliefs and how we all look at the world.
