Summary: Sets a New Standard for DVD Releases
Review: Normally, you'd expect a DVD with this much extra stuff to cost about forty bucks, but Warners has outdone themselves here. "Three Kings" not only contains David O. Russell's superb movie, but two audiocommentarys, behind the scenes featurettes, a very amusing look at "The Acting Process" with Ice Cube and tons more. The mark of a great DVD is one that takes a two-hour movie and turns it into an eight-hour (at least) viewing experience. By the way, Mr. Russell is one of the few directors to SUCCESSFULLY make the leap from indie films to "Big" Movies. I can't wait to see what this guy does next!

Summary: Finally a Movie about a different war
Review: Quite a fresh perspective to see a movie on Desert Storm. It was interesting to see the Iraqis opinions on U.S. GI's. This movie used some cool camera tricks, like the internal view of the lungs. The picture and sound are great, and special features are numerous. Definetly a solid collectors disc.

Summary: Not entertainment.
Review: I found this movie to be lacking in entertainment value. Theviolence and gore were excessive, gratuitious, and the only point tothis emotionally abusive experience for the audience. The film's only memorable moments depicted, in graphic horrible detail and in front of their loved ones, the murder of the only characters for whom the audience could generate any sympathy.

Summary: This movie takes my breath away!
Review: One of the better movies I've seen in a long time. The cinematography is just awesome. I felt it was the perfect mix of humour, drama, and action. If you haven't seen this movie you should. Buy it it rocks.

Summary: A solid piece of filmmaking
Review: I'm not a war fan. My dad is, but I could care less about the genre. However, Three Kings opened up my eyes. Unfortunately, I walked into the theater 20 minutes late so I missed most of the "comedic" part of the film. However, I did get a chance to see the gag with the blood and guts falling from the sky. However, after that, I saw a good movie with a good plot, stylish directing, and good performances all around. This movie takes place right after the Gulf War. Our heros (George Clooney, Mark Walhberg, Ice Cube) are in charge of getting stolen gold from Iraq back to Kuwait. They complete their mission, but they find themselves in the middle of a heap of trouble. After they shoot a couple of Iraq soldiers, they must escape with refugees to the Kuwait border to get them from a certain death. Of course, the US has ordered a cease of fire andnow both Iraq and US troops are after them as they trek to the border. The script is somewhat cut and dry, but the action is pretty engaging. The ending is a little predictable, but it leaves a good impression. I recommend this movie, and I'm considering taking this genre for real.

Summary: WELL FILMED
Review: The hype for this movie ruined it. Well ruin is a strong word. It wasn't as good as they said it was but overall it was fun to watch, it had good cast ,and in the end it told a good story. When it was all over it was a sort of Kelly's Heroes for the 21st century.

Summary: Glimpse into the sick depths of human nature
Review: The trailer made this sound like an amusing fast paced heist, Unfortunately this film is neither. George Clooney and the rest of the cast all play very convincing roles, and the film istelf is a vivid representation of the gulf war, the rest is about the gold which is reasonably shallow and the humour which originally attracts you to the movie is sparse and far between. Though I feel any film that shows the basic deprivation of war with such realism cannot wholely be enjoyed as we have to face the diabolical side of human nature that is constantly at war somewhere on this planet. Needless top say it is shot well and has very graffic special effects - which as with anything to do with war are often far too real and too violent. Don't get me wrong, I love your general limbs flying in all directions type movie, but it needs to be somewhat removed from reality to be enjoyed with a clear consciesness. I do believe that this film should be watched at least once and never forgotten so that the little boy soldiers in all of us can grow up and see that war is bad.

Summary: a fresh look at the Gulf War
Review: I'm glad someone is finally starting to pick up the Gulf Warissue. It's time everybody stops to believe the CNN version of this"clean war". Going to war over Kuwait was justified, but leaving Saddam behind still being in charge of Iraq was a damn shame. THREE KINGS does a great job of balancing humor, sincerity, reality and entertainment. Plus I liked the directors style a lot. I highly recommend this movie. END
