I don’t know why I put this on but comparing Jason Mewes in this to now is hellish.

It's like The Holy Mountain but the imagery has been replaced with dialogue and the full frontal male nudity has been replaced with dick jokes.

Rather brilliant. Endlessly funny, creative, and original, with a plot and casting that people didn't believe when it was first coming out and which future generations probably won't believe either. Just priceless

Funny, stylish, and even thought-provoking. Kevin Smith delivers again. Not quite the joyride of his more sophmoric pieces, but a great view nonetheless.

Affleck and Damon are a pleasure to watch as embittered angels, while Fiorentino generally sucks out all the exuberant and irreverant energy by her presence. The rest of the movie has its moments.

Yet another film I liked more the second time. Had some great writing. The "shit demon" scene brings it down a bit and Fiorentino could of done better. However Rickman, Affleck and Damon were all great. Jay and Silent Bob were funny as usual. Some minor let downs but a great movie none-the-less.

It's so clever that you really have to applaud it for it's brutal honesty about religion. You don't have to agree with the movie, because really that's all it is. It's just a religion movie with scatalogical humor.

Kevin Smith at his best. This controversial comedy is a brutally honest look at religion. It's got Smith's flare for pop culture, and his clever dialogue is snappy and hilarious. It's not a serious film, but you can still watch it and talk about it like it is. If you have a thing against making fun of a religion a little, well... don't see it, or quit being a baby and see it anyway. Really good!

WARNING: You must be comfortable with your feelings on religion to be able to enjy this movie. That being said, this is my second favorite Kevin Smith film, right behind Clerks. Damon and Affleck are fantastic. Fiorentino's work is very good as the very confused Last Scion. My only real complaint with the movie is the prominance of Jay and Silent Bob (even though they are crucial to the plot). Even the casting of Alanis Morrisette is clever. Favorite Silent Bob line, "No tickets." - c

Blergh. We all know that religions are ridiculously easy to make fun of, so why the hell can't Kevin Smith manage to make this movie funny or interesting? Alan Rickman is the only reason that this gets a D.

Truly the pinnacle of Kevin Smith's career (so far, at least). A brilliant film about belief that really has to be seen to be believed. If you like Smith's work at all, this is a definite must-see.

Neonman | 38 2nd |

Kevin Smith attempts to make an educational, yet funny film about Catholicism and fails in both departments. The humour and the knowledge of religion are completely separated, meaning that scenes are either boring or unfunny. Smith is able to show in this film only a sense of the talented writer-director that he has proven in the Clerks films, but here it comes off as wonky and lazy; this can especially be noticed in the underwhelming fight/action sequences.

A Comedy Central after-school jam. I only wish it stayed on target a little more instead of throwing to sex jokes every time it gets embarrassed of being thoughtful. Ben Affleck is weirdly good in this.

Amazing movie. AMAZING. Kevin Smith's best piece, by far. If you haven't seen this, do it now. Some of the references made in this movie are subtle, but everything's important. This man is a genius and you should see all of his other films too.

My favourite Keven Smith movie, although I think to fully appreciate it you need to have a pretty indepth knowledge of the Catholic Church, as well as a sense of humour. Every character in this is hilarious. The only part I didn't like is the "shit demon" which just felt tacked on and silly. Aside from that I was laughing from start to finish.

Affleck and Damon are great and the script is perhaps the best Smith has ever written. Fiorentino, Morissette and the shit demon scene bring it down a bit.

There are plenty of highs and interesting points in this film. For instance, is it morally permissible for a Christian to allow a brain dead person (living only by virtue of life support) to die if keeping him alive means the end all existence? There are a number of weak points too, but it's excellent overall. See it for the airport, Mooby, and "Catholicism, WOW!" scenes if nothing else.

Maybe not quite as great as I remember, but still an impressive achievement from Smith. Other than the occasionally slow pacing and having too much Jay and Silent Bob it's a film that meshes storytelling, dialogue and world crafting into varied and highly effective comedy. It's also a reminder that yes, Smith was a capable director at one point.

Going in expecting religious satire is a great mistake, one which is immediately revealed as the totally transparent attempt to pass juvenile humour by tacking it on to religion becomes apparent. Despite the interesting premise Dogma undermines itself at every turn, eventually leading it into a total cinematic limbo, only accompanied by the dull finale and a demon made of excrement. Ironically, the latter actually manages to briefly raise the tone of the movie. A completely trivial experience.

Kevin Smith shows how he's grown as a director and screenwriter, but he's still Kevin Smith, and Kevin Smith makes movies for Kevin Smith first and foremost. In this case, Smith questions his Catholic faith, if only superficially; the movie doesn't ask any questions that can't be answered via, well, dogma.

Charming, smart, and ultimately blasphemous Dogma is a deliciously comedic play on the stereotypes and unwritten laws of church and society. Definitely worth the time to watch, and in my opinion Kevin smith's best film to date.

Kevin Smith is an odd director. There is an abundance of clever dialogue and a hilarious introspection into Catholicism in this movie, but then again there are countless easy toilet jokes. Now toilet humor is funny in the right amounts but too much can be a little tiring.

The best comedy of 1999! Very smart, very funny, very capturing. Dogma and Shrek are the two movies that made me realize Terry Partchett should not be that hard to film.

Kind of pretentious, but sort of funny too. And how can you dislike a film which features George Carlin as an Archbishop, Linda Farentino as the Virgin Mary and Alanis Morissette as God Herself?

Cinema_Asia | 55 19th |

Wishy washy religious nonsense by Kevin Smith. He tries to mix in comedy with religious musing over morality, sex, and a bunch of other supposedly deep stuff that most people have mulled over in elementary school. The entire thing is a suburban man's insecurities over a Catholic upbringing and the film is about as interesting as hearing your catholic, jewish, or muslim friend in real life moaning about how repressed they were growing up. Not all that great.

Arguably Smith's most ambitious effort to date in the irreverent fun he is having with theological concepts and contradictions is a fascinating if overstuffed exercise; while he can't quite reconcile his penchant for freewheeling dialogue against the "seriousness" of his subject matter, the film still works as a cheerful piece of entertainment, with a game cast (highlighted by Affleck and Damon's double-act) bringing a life and energy whenever the philosophical digressions threaten to overwhelm.
