by jankp  in Movies,  - Top 100, Apr 26 '02
Pros: talented cast enjoy themselves in a daring and fun movie; good, provoking message
Cons: some theological dialogue goes on too long; a couple of questionable scenes
My review title was one of the movie Dogma’s taglines back in 1999 and an apt one that promises comedy, soul searching and some theological commentary. Kevin Smith, a practicing Catholic schooled by nuns, writes, co-directs, co-produces and...

Pros: Has some funny moments and a great cast.
Cons: Moments are about it, the movie drags a bit.
Your imagination is really needed here. But imagine if you will that God sends down the angel Metatron(Alan Rickman) to convince a divorced, non-practicing Catholic woman, Bethany, (played by Linda Fiorentino)that she must stop two fallen angels, Loki...

Pros: Strong cast and script. Requires actual thought at some points.
Cons: too long for its own good. the whole poop monster thing.
With Kevin Smith, you either love him or hate him. There really is no middle ground. Which is why I've always been a little outcast in the area; I think he's great at times and definitely has his moments, but I'm not a die-hard fan. For anyone reviewing...

by Ed.Williamson - Top 200, Apr 16 '02
Pros: Interesting mind-bending.
Cons: Brainless at times.
Kevin Smith's 1999 film Dogma starts out before the credits roll with several disclaimers saying "We're sorry if the movie you are about to see is offensive, but we were just out to make a piece of funny fantasy, blah-blah-blah...." That in...

by Goatius in Movies, , May 27 '00
Pros: Fantastic screenplay, some good performances
Cons: Amateurish directing, left out Silent Bob singing the Fat Albert theme from first script of the film
Director Kevin Smith's fourth film courted almost as much controversy as it did critical praise, neither of which it truly deserved. Smith's skill with a pen is still lightyears ahead of his ability behind the camera, which is very questionable, and...

Pros: Hilarious religious satire.
Cons: Occasionally goes overboard, some fart humor.
Merriem Webster defines a Parable as: a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle. That is definitely the best way of summing up Dogma that I have seen. Dogma manages to be rather smart about its subject...

Pros: A willingness to treat serious subjects within a comedic framework. Thought provoking takes on religion.
Cons: Some exceedingly juvenile humor. Not all the bits work. Somewhat disorganized.
Life is returning to normal here at Chateau Maine. It's nice to be on the road with a succesful concert tour, seeing new places and meeting new people but living out of those forty-seven pieces of Vuitton luggage can get a bit wearing after a while....

by martytdx - Top 200, Nov 02 '00
Pros: Great writing, good, witty take on religion
Cons: none
Kevin Smith is a comedic genius. He is not a clean or proper genius, but neither were any of the others who have made claim to the title. Instead, he takes a mundane situation and turns it into a brilliantly funny movie, as he has done three times ...

by trphilip - Top 1000, Sep 22 '00
Pros: Silent Bob & Vulgar Jay Are Hilarious!
Cons: Actors Trying Too Hard To Shock The Audience
But I guess that explains Oprah’s success and those TV shopping networks. Just kidding. As I was writing the 1,000,000 review of this movie I asked myself how I could piece together something original. But there is no need for originality with...

by KCFemme - Top 500, Sep 03 '00
Pros: Characters, laughter, plot ... everything
Cons: A little too many F words
With over 500 reviews written on this movie already, this movie was still good enough that I just had to add my own two cents worth to Epinions. Some people really love the movie, some people really hate it, and others just weren't sure just what to...

by Grouch - Top 200, Aug 08 '00
Pros: Scathing satire of modern churches makes this the most religious movie in years
Cons: Profanity, feces and lackluster acting drag it to the lower depths
Finally! A movie that dares to reveal that church-suppressed truth: God has a sense of humor. Trouble is, some of the devout folks on this mortal coil might not be laughing after they see Kevin Smith’s Dogma.
My father, a Baptist...

Pros: Funny, Rock, Rickman, Silent Bob
Cons: Some may find it offensive, Jay
I’ve been Christian for something approaching four years now. I’m serious about my faith, and I certainly don’t take it lightly. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t know how to laugh at myself. ”Imagine a world where ...

by kuuleimomi - Top 1000, May 30 '01
Pros: The whole idea is brilliant
Cons: A bit too brutal for Christianity, or wait, not really
Warning: this is a comedy involving sensitive issues and it offends certain people. I apologize for originally calling them 'stupid'
This movie knocks my socks off. The whole concept is a smart satire and irony, those who don’t...

Pros: Dialogue.
Cons: See "Pros."
At 14, we could laugh at fart, poop, snot, semen, penis and vagina jokes and still feel intelligent about it. Kids could proclaim "Kevin Smith is a genius!" and receive a round of applause and agreement from their fellow peers. Unsurprisingly, as we ...

by scott29 - Top 500, Jun 24 '00
Pros: Has a few really strong scenes.
Cons: They represent about 6 minutes of running time.
As a big fan of Clerks and Chasing Amy, I’m always interested in Kevin Smith’s work. Two of his movies have been hysterically funny and fun; the other two are indulgent junk. Yes, Dogma has a few things worth recommending, but I think we should perhaps...
