Summary: Great Movie
Review: This movie was so good. It shows a side of war that has rarely been seen before. With a strong cast, it keeps you on the edge og your seat right up until the end. Filled with action and dark comedy, over all it tells the tale of four soilders, who start out on an adventure of greed, stumbling upon what may be their last hope of redemption.

Summary: Not Quite....
Review: I came in with high hopes, and was not satisfied to the full extent. I like the acting and plot, but nothing seems to happen! Its a good movie, no doubt, but seems to lag.

Summary: Post-Modern History
Review: This is an extremely underrated film. It came out with a lot of press because of its star power, but not much was heard from it again. Because of this, I assumed that it was not a good movie. I was wrong.George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze (Director of "Being John Malkovich") star as soldiers at the end of the Gulf War who go on a mission to recover Hussein's gold. It is a great movie because it juxtaposes great action sequences, astounding special effects, very good acting and-perhaps most importantly-a look at the terrible toll that war takes on people. Plus, it's funny! Not to be missed. As far as the DVD goes, the picture and sound quality are outstanding, and it is presented in anamorphic format. It is also loaded with extras.

Summary: A DVD review
Review: A very thoughtfully produced DVD. The commentary by writer/director David Russell is very good, giving insight into what he was thinking. His 'video' journal was short and mainly covered pre-production and the premiere. The 'making of' documentary was excellent and covered the whole production of the film. The commentary from the producers especially Chuck Roven was too verbose. They mainly talk about money, casting and other production issues that I've never found that interesting or entertaining. The deleted scenes were okay and you don't gain much to the story although they do explain Conrad Vig's weird gun. The rest of the extras are just added features to the documentary and was just a bit too much. A very good DVD to have in your collection if you like the film. Otherwise, not worth it for the DVD features alone.

Summary: Getting nowhere slowly.
Review: This is an average movie. It is entertaining, but lacks any real depth. Only brief moments of interesting action. There is wierd usage of lighting and bizarre FX viewing inside the human body, wasn't convinced this really added value. I guess the female audiency might find George Clooney a redeeming feature, but he can barely act.

Summary: George is a Prince...
Review: George Clooney is definitely a big screen star. I first saw him in "Out of Sight" which I enjoyed, and later in "One Fine Day" with Michele Pfeiffer. I bought both of these DVD's and have watched them several times. I also made the mistake of buying "Dusk til Dawn" --a Quentin Tarantino film I hated as it was filled with gratuitous violence. (I like and own copies of other Tarantino films- "True Romance", "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoire Dogs"). Clooney plays offbeat leading men quite well, but there's no romance in this film. He also seems to have a "bad boy" side (reminds me of Steve McQueen), and given his last few films, I think he is poised for a career living on the edge of the law. In "Three Kings," he's serving in Uncle Sam's army during the Gulf War. He and his two sidekicks become separated from their unit--on purpose. They've discovered a map on an enemy soldier that purportedly leads the way a stash of gold and other valuables Sadam looted from his own people. The "treasure" is hidden in a village of hapless Iraqi civilians caught up in the Gulf War conflict. The story doesn't go exaxtly as planned by Clooney and company (mad dash to the loot, snatch it, take it home). Almost everything that can go awry does, and in spite of themselves, the "Three Kings" end up being mighty warriors. This was underrated at the beginning of it's run in theaters. You might consider renting it before you buy it to determine whether you'd watch it a second time. (It's a bit irreverent of the U.S. Army and reminded me of "Stripes" with Bill Murray.)

Summary: Wow!
Review: Three Kings is one of those strange kinds of movies that leave you hanging with so many emotions you do not know quite how to handle it. the movie makes us laugh, it leaves us frustrated with the horrors of war, and it makes us feel that any conflict, not matter how horrible, can work out in the end. Director David O. Russell has left us with a film that is nothing short of brilliant, echoing the confusion and frustration that was Operation Dessert Storm. Perhaps the biggest surprise of Three Kings was the superb acting by every member of the cast. Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney contained a strange believable chemistry and proved they could break free of past acting stereotypes. As I look at Ice Cube's character I was able to forget his life as a rap star and saw him as a US Army soldier. And of course who can forget Spike Jonze who proved that he could act as well as direct high quality movies (Being John Malkovich). Many traditional war movies tend to make Non-American characters very static, fitting neatly into stereotypes. Three Kings is very careful not to fall into this horrible pitfall. Within the Arab community we see a people suffering from a horrible dictator with the courage to stand up and fight. Many aspects of Three Kings show us how our world is shrinking, and though we may live in separate countries or on opposing sides, the essentials that we hold dear stay the same. I hope to see more work by David O. Russell in the future. In Three Kings he has created a masterpiece that has quickly found a permanent home among the great movies of the 90s.

Summary: If people like this - something definitely wrong out here
Review: O, well, guys. We will take tarantino-like dialogs and shooting into war movie and then (with addition of about twenty tons of high-morality sugar) the public will eat it! And what do you think - they were right! Don't buy it, don't rent it - it is just typical con-movie made by one of those great "directors" and "writers" who know all about how to do a movie or write a book, but have no more to say than ten years old boy. Even actors like George Clooney unable to save this film. Only thing which helped me to saw it to the end was speeding it up on my DVD drive. One star to Clooney and zero to David O. Russell - hope I will be able to remember director's name (it will save me some money in the future).
