Summary: Yeah, 3 Kings...Larry, Moe and Curly
Review: This was the lamest movie I have seen in quite some time. From its sterotypical portrayal of middle easterners to the predictable one-dimensional main characters, it fails as a comedy because it isn't funny enough. But that must mean that it was a drama. Unfortuantely it also manages to fail here because it is just too insipid to be believable by anyone with more than a middle school education.

Summary: Why? Why did I watch the whole thing?
Review: I have see many movies in my time and have like, loved and hated them. This one is 100% on my hate list. I just can't believe I watched the entire movie. I think that somewhere in my inner mind I thought it might get better as it went on. I was very wrong. This movie could have lasted 5 hours and that still wouldn't be enough time to recoup from it's horrible movie writing. Like so many movies people wasted their time on, this one has a popular actor in it. "George keep your day job on ER or please be more selective with the projects you take on." If your just in to people in the movie and you are a die hard Clooney fan buy it! You can watch him and try and talk yourself into liking the movie. If your a serious movie watcher and don't have time to spare on bad movies, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!

Summary: Three Kings
Review: I'm sorry but I didn't find this movie entertaining or believable. It did not have near the entertaining value of Kelly's Heroes. I did not see any talent in the script or the actors. I believe that George Clooney surrounds himself with no name and no talent actors in most of his movies because he is afraid that good actors may show how little talent he has. The redeeming factor is that a neighbor loaned the movie to me, therefore saving me wasting money to buy it. I gave it two stars out of pity. Sudami

Summary: Another Academy Overlook
Review: On my list of the best of 1999, Three Kings ranks second. Here's why: The original writing and direction from David O. Russell was excellent, all the actors were phenomenal, and brilliant cinemaphotography. I know I'm missing something. Moving on. . .Three Kings is a movie with heart and soul. It's funny as it is moving. It's about four soldiers who plan to steal Saadam's (I can't spell) gold from an underground bunker. On there way they come across matters that will change their lives.Overall, Three Kings is just one of those movies that you must own because you know that it's a classic. Oh man and the DVD, get it!

Summary: Three Kings - Four Stars
Review: A mixture of action and black comedy, approached in a style not yet seen in mainstream films. This film about the post-Gulf War, engages a full spectrum of emotions. Not only is this a great film, but the DVD includes some very nice extras, especially "An Intimate Look Inside The Acting Process With Ice Cube".

Summary: Great Piece of Work
Review: George Clooney has finally made a movie about something here in David O. Russell's Three Kings, an intelligent action film that ranks among the best of its genre...ever. Clooney was good in Steven Sonderberg's Out of Sight, but the film didn't have any original punch to it. Elmore Leonard books that are always adapted to films have a certain coolness to them so the credit in that film was only partial to Clooney (not to mention Jennifer Lopez...what a kitty cat). This film is an action film, as I described, that provides substance. It takes place during Desert Storm in the early nineties where four G.I. Joes (Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Being John Malkovich's director Spike Jonze) plot to steal gold from a bunker behind Arab lines. To put it in simplist terms, the plan goes heywire and there you have your film. Some thoroughly stunning visuals are in this film, even looking better when viewed on the superb transfer of the DVD. Check out the special features because it is one dynamic disc, with a key pointing to the film's commentary by the filmmakers.

Summary: Human, complex, and original, with powerful things to say
Review: I was surprised at how well this movie made me care about the issues the characters faced as well as the characters themselves. George Clooney is attaining a level of mastery at these types of roles, and he doesn't let you down with this one by any stretch of the imagination. The Kuwaiti supporting cast are thrilling and keep the moral compass of the film intact through their tremendous work. Ice Cube may be the biggest surprise of the movie; his ability to play his signature "Boys in the Hood" type roles has already been shown, but the depth he brings to his character, a young airport worker in the Reserves called to serve, brings you closer to them all. This is a movie of impassioned rhetoric transformed into a fast paced, wartime parable, made not just palatable but demanding of your time and contemplation, all while never losing its duty to be entertaining and well done. Very enjoyable.

Summary: Not Your Typical War Epic
Review: For an odd cinematic experience, watch Saving Private Ryan and then Three Kings. What a difference 40 years makes! Three Kings is the story of four soldiers during the Gulf War who decide to "liberate" Saddam's gold after the end of the war. Things go wrong and suddenly they are trying to help a band of Irqai citizens defect. The acting is wonderful (George Clooney is absolutely fabulous-one of the best actors working today)and the story is both funny and incredibly sad at the same time. One "moral" of the story that I enjoyed...what is right or wrong depends upon what side you are on.
