Summary: A great movie, and an even better DVD
Review: For some reason, when I saw this movie in the theater, I didn't like it. What was I thinking? This is a great film, and a good example of modern filmmaking. The movie may seem off the wall to most viwers, because the filmmakers try some nice new experimental techniques, which some people may not like. Some things include, color altering to enhance the emotional effect of the film, and off the wall dialogue and film editing. The main reason I think some may be offended because the movie has some comic relief, in a very serious situation like the gulf war (some people might think the humor and drama are inconsistant).Overall, The film is powerful and engrosing, I highly reccomend it. The DVD is loaded with a ton of extra features, including an amuzing Ice Cube "acting techniques" documentary. It is a shining example of how all DVDs should be.

Summary: "George Bush wants you!" -- This movie is good stuff!
Review: I guess when I watched this I was expecting something along the lines of 2001 in the desert; a slow psychological melodrama. Man, was I wrong! I really didn't expect this movie to have quite the impact that it does. One of the things I liked the most was how the killing and shooting scenes were handled by the director. But then again, I liked how the director handled absolutely everything - including the lighting and uses of imagery. Being an avid widescreen fan, I like how the 2.35:1 format is used to show off the setting and images. Brilliant. And it really doesn't come off as a mindless "Commando" flick where everyone and everything gets blown up, although it does go into that for a short while. Clooney is real good here, and quite funny in places; I think on the whole the cast did a real good job. The only critique I have of it is that it gets a little too sentimental towards the end, and that probably takes away some momentum. I was scared to death that this was going to be one of those artsy war movies, which, according to me, never works. PLEASE KEEP THE ARTSY SYMBOLISM OUT OF THE WAR MOVIES! Save it for Shakespeare or Jane Austen! All said, though, it's a great one to sit back and put your feet up and watch.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: A terrible movie with a plot so full of holes I found myself laughing at all the wrong parts while feeling sick at the same time. The action was mediocre at best, the acting was decent for such poorly written characters, though the actors really didnt do much to make their own characters interesting. Id skip this title, there are alot better movies out there to waste your money on.

Summary: A very good rental but why did I buy it?
Review: I bought this movie on faith. I never had the chance to see it in a theater. Is it good? Yes, it's quite good, actually. A very fresh and interesting look at a very overlooked subject. The morality lesson at the heart of the story was handled well and the direction was expectedly brilliant given Russell's track record--"Flirting with Disaster" is one of my favorite movies. Overall, though, I'd recommend this for a rental, not a buy. I doubt I'll watch more than one more time if that. I'm glad I saw it, but I sure didn't need to own it. Neither do you, I don't think.

Summary: Worst movie of the year!
Review: This had to be one of the worst moves I have ever seen. I would not recommend that anyone purchase this movie without renting it first. Don't waste your money bye something good like "A few Good Men" or "Saving Private Ryan". This was not a military movie but an escapade to help out "refuges" to cross some bogus border drawn in the sand.

Summary: Clooney Must Be Looney
Review: George Clooney better not bail out of his ER contract yet. Three Kings is a film that is as believable as Jack and the Beanstalk. The plot, dialogue, and acting is inept and childish. Once again, high tech action sequences are needed to carry the picture but even these fail. The scene where a camera cam focuses on a bullit's internal damage path in a human stomach is as convincing as a sixth grade science project. Did the director really think this was impressive? When a truck explosion is the highlight of a film, what else is there to say? Probably the most annoying and unrealistic portrayal of a newsreporter ever captured on screen is evidenced here. How can the director, producer, scriptwriter, and actress allow such a mockery of war correspondence? I was hoping that a scud missle would obliterate her. I'm glad I don't have to pay rental fees for videos. Viewers should be paid for enduring alomost two hours of embarrassing muck. For a film that captures the essence of this plot, stick with Kelly Heroes.

Summary: Oh! Those Extras! And how's the film? Fine.
Review: THREE KINGS is not for everyone. And it's not easily pigeonholed. Fans of categorization will hate it. :) "What's it like?" they ask. You can't say it's a comedy, because plenty of people won't find it funny. Can you say it's a heist film? Only if you're narrow-minded. An action movie? Yeah, maybe, but this isn't comic book action here. Soldiers at the tail end of the Gulf War get a lead on a hidden stash of gold and decide to find it and take it home. What happens to them along the way changes their objectives and changes their lives in profound ways. Director David O Russell has crafted a movie that SEEMS to be aimless, changing directions with the wind, but is actually a movie with a certain destination, taking a more realistic approach to arrive there. A good example of this narrative philosophy is pointed out by Russell in his excellent and illuminating commentary track: in one scene Clooney is rushing pell-mell through an underground bunker and collides with another man rushing to get out. There's no "point" to it other than that these distracting things happen in real life all the time, just not usually in the movies. The DVD's price is good and it's PACKED with so many extras (all of them interesting and worthwhile, too) that it's hard to pass up THREE KINGS for purchasing. Very much recommended. If you found this review informative at all, please vote YES! Thanks.

Summary: A fine movie.
Review: An exciting, visually impressive film. Suffers somewhat from oversimplification of political realities to expedite its "message", but that won't bother most viewers, nor should it. Better overall than American Beauty, but without a Spacey-level performance. Oh, one other small thing that was great about this film - the filmmakers avoid having Ice Cube "punch it up" with some lame line after he destroys the helicopter.
