Dogma (1999)

So much average

Pretty Good

A Masterpiece!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Pretty much a no brainer, one of Matt Damons better performances. Many people that watch the film simply overthink it, as in they feel insulted. But in the end it is just an early show of when the decline of this industry started. When the heads are corrupt and disgusting Pedros, what do you expect. Anyways, Matt Damon was OK, so 3 out of 10. Never again.

Dogma (1999)Perfection 13 September 2017More than a few times I had the misfortune to see and review movies with so many flaws that I gave up on reviewing them because it would end up a novel of epic proportions. But here's one completely opposite. This movie I could praise for hours without danger of being left with no material. I saw it many times and I'll see it many times more. And every time I get excited like the first, cause this movie is simply perfect. Everything from opening credits and font to ending credits is just right. Kevin Smith is, in my opinion, one of the most original and creative writers and directors of our time. The story is perfect, at the same time exciting and relaxing, intelligent and silly, full of positive energy, satire and humour, with genius dialogues. Movie gathers many top actors, musicians and stand-up comedians, and all of them, in spite of relatively low budget, decided to participate in this project with all their hearts and gave amazing performances. List of actors itself is reason enough to see this film. A movie that holds strong messages and depth behind the screen of silly comedy.10/10The movie caused controversy and disapproval because it appears to make fun of faith, but it's just at first glance. Smith himself is a believer and his intention was not to make a mockery of faith, but to use funny approach to bring it closer to younger generations that are repelled by the rigidity of Church, and at the same time to hit negative aspects of Catholic dogma with some good satire. That's why it is important to see this movie without prejudice, so you don't end up caught in a trap of misunderstanding and hating or loving it for wrong reasons.George Carlin, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Linda Fiorentino, Jason Lee, Alan Rickman, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Alanis Morissette

Obviously we cannot thank these guys enough.It's almost twenty years since this came out and reviewers here are still rendering plot synopses? Fer Pete's sake, anyone here has already seen the film, therefore recaps are redundant.I got to this film looking for more Damon/Afleck stuff because I watched GWH, again, on a flight to Copenhagen. After six months I've found this movie and have explored the whole Kevin Smith thing.Masterpiece. Then Clerks and Amy, etc. and I'm on to Smith, who's inspiration/business- model can be summarized in two words; Lucas & Bruce. Lucas created a cinematic universe and Springsteen created a fan-base. Good work. Excellent.My hat is off to Smith, who did it all with just his local buds, a bit of sympathetic outside talent, and chutzpah. Plus, Jason Mewes makes it all worthwhile. Don't buy it? Watch his little "Amy" bit again. If you can't admire that, what DO you admire?I won't even go into Rickman, Rock, and Morrisette, their parts made me want them to be here forever.Just give 'isms and 'phobias a rest and enjoy an excellent film.

An abortion clinic worker with a special heritage is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loop-hole and reenter Heaven. Although it repeats the stupid humor and Kevin Smith's over the top direction Dogma is actually one of his most underrated one sure it has problems and the 3rd act although action packed it just weird especially when Ben Affleck doesn't act anymore but he pretends that he plays a villain and not a great one unfortunately. The best thing about this film is Alan Rickman bless his soul he is amazing in this film and he mostly steals the show alongside Linda Fiorentino who did a nice job as well everyone else were just OK nothing really great although Affleck and Damon have a really great chemistry together two thumbs up. I give Dogma a 7.5 out of 10 and a B+
