Summary: Excellent Movie. You want the truth, this movie delivers.
Review: Grade A Movie. The star power used in this film does not outweigh the plot, or the signifigance of what is being said. For those people who didn't understand this movie, you never will. This film lets you see what it's like to watch a man die, and how a soldier truly feels about war. It protrays the plight of the Kuwati's and the people of Iraq from the side the American media failed to cover.Truly Groundbreaking and utterly disturbing.

Summary: UGH!
Review: A stupider movie I have not watched in a long time! I'm a pretty big movie buff and watch quite a bit ... but for bad movies, this takes the cake! Eck! I sat through the movie feeling ill that people could be as stupid as this movie portrayed them to be. I could not understand why the other people in the cinema seemed entertained (maybe from the stupidity of the movie? ).

Summary: Deserving of its accolades and so much more
Review: First off let me say that I am a huge Robert Altman fan, so when I say that Three Kings is as good as M*A*S*H, that is not meant to be taken lightly. It blends action, tragedy, social commentary, and flawless cinematic techniques like no movie since Bonnie and Clyde. David O. Russell had never made a war movie before, but he delivers big time here. The story has great, believable characters; a good plot; and is surprisingly angry and political. The direction is flawless, at times subtle and at other times boldly self aware, but always unique. The "bullet cam" scene, showing in detail what happens when a bullet penetrates flesh is just one of the many classic scenes from this movie. The acting is also outstanding. George Clooney, Mark Wahlburg, Ice Cube, Cliff Curtis, and Spike Jonze are all perfect, as are the supporting actors. The DVD is chock full of really cool extras, my favorite was David O. Russell's video journal of the preproduction.

Summary: Didn't know what to expect. but just don't get it.
Review: I didn't know much about the movie, seen some previews of it and I was anxious to see it. After seeing it I was very disappointed and I was tempted to even stop the movie and trash it. Acting is pretty good, storyboard is a new version of kelly's heroes, the way they shot the movie and cut it is really terrible. It's very annoying.

Summary: Was this a sequel to the Blair Witch Project?
Review: Some big name actors here and yet its filmed in the desert.Not surprising really,after paying George Clooney for this movie they must of ran out of money for the plot and to pay the other actors.Did I say there were other actors?Sad story is i paid for this movie about some losers looking for gold bullion,the plot was okay if they would of ended it there.Markey Mark didnt help the story abit though.I rated this a 1 because the actors showed up to shoot this.was it worth 2 hours.I would rather be kicked in the face with a frozen muckaluck then have to watch this over.

Summary: Refreshingly Modern War Film!
Review: This energy-filled masterpiece by David O. Rusell is a rare treat, it has laugh-out-loud comedy, brilliant, intense in-your-face action sequences, jarring scenes of the brutality of war, dramatic and touching elements, all this and more make this the best movie about the Gulf War and one of the best of 1999. George Clooney gives his best performance and seems the wisest of the bunch, Ice Cube also gives his best performance but should of gotten more screen time. Mark Wahlberg also shines giving a low-key right on the money performance. The multitalented Spike Jonze adds comic relief and gives a hilarious and ultimately touching performance. The surreal atmosphere (rare in a war film) is intoxicatingly fresh and adds a sense of realism and a sense that the characters really don't know what they're doing. Great direction, music, editing, performances, and screenplay make this one of the most refreshingly entertaining movies of the decade. Really one of a kind. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film an 8!

Summary: Great movie, tells it how it is
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. I am in the military, and alot of what went on in the movie is as close to reality in feeling, if not in content, as the real world. It was a great ride throughout the entire film, with alot of fun, and alot of pain. The whole feeling of the film pulled me right in and put me in the middle of everything that was going on. I recommend you watch it and keep an open mind.

Summary: Three Kings
Review: Interesting movie that will keep you glued throughout. Not recommended for those hesitant about on-screen violence. It's also another picture where you have to ignore the rules of reality and enjoy it for being a fictional movie. I'm not a big fan of George Clooney but have to admit this is one of the first roles I've seen where he adapts well to his character. (Most of his roles come across to me as George Clooney being George Clooney.) The movie reminds me of a style of interpretation common with films about the Vietnam War. Great acting and interesting cinematography/editing from the director.

Summary: Wow...
Review: I was not expecting much of this movie, but it really surprised me. I cannot belive that it was not nominated for any Academy Awards. I think I liked it more than "American Beauty". The performances are superb (who'd have thought these guys could act?), the writing on the mark, and every element right down to the cinematography perfectly executed. It's gripping and touching, and you really do care about the characters. Don't let this one slip by you - it's definitely worth it!

Summary: Terrible
Review: I saw this movie and I came out feeling dumber for watching it. I couldn't decide if they were trying to make more action and less plot, or if they wanted more plot less action. Either way it failed terribly. I thought it was terrible and that anyone who is wanting to be entertained with action not see this and all those wanting a plot get something else because both are lacking. The choice of actors made it impossible for any chance of saving the movie with outstanding acting.
