Average rating: Stars

What a horrible movie

Not clever, not funny. With the amount of talent in this movie, how could someone miss so badly? This movie is aboslutely one of the worst I have ever seen.

Strangest movie on Christ I've ever seen.

This is a GREAT movie! Even if you're a Catholic (my father) this is a hilarious movie, and I don't understand why people are getting so paranoid about this movie. It is meant to be enjoyed, not analyzed throughly for some 'hidden' meaning. The plot is strange enough. Two angels, Loki and Bartleby, who were exiled to a place worse than Hell (Wisconsin--to be pricise) have been sitting around for eons doing nothing but watch civilization pass them by when suddenly, they get a paper in the mail giving them a way to get back to heaven. Excited, they go for it, wanting to go back to the home they've been kicked out of for more than a millenium.

What they don't know is if they try to get back to heaven, they ruin existence and life on Earth as we know it. And that's where Bethany, the Catholic who works in an abortion clinic and believes God is dead but still goes to church, comes in, with a mission from God to stop the to angels from getting back to heaven. Accompainied by two stoned prophets (poorly done Jay and hilirous Silent Bob), the disgruntled thirteenth apostle, and a muse who works in a strip club, and frequently shadowed by a grumpy arch angel, Bethany begins her quest to stop the world from becoming nothing, learning things about herself and the world she didn't know before. This is a silly movie. When I read the script, I thought it was completely brilliant, mainly because it was so out of the normal Hollywood plot loop that it was funny. And then I saw the movie.

The acting definetly suffered in Dogma, even with a star-studded cast, due to the fact that Kevin Smith was directing. If they had a different, more experienced director, the movie would have been far more popular and even better than it already is. But as it was, Kevin Smith was directing and acting and it kinda spoiled everything. However, the points made up in Dogma, some so silly it was hilarious (the thirteenth apostle, a demon made of poo), and others more in touch with reality (God as a woman, Jesus was black), make it a movie worth seeing.
So, my long-winded speech being almost over, I'd mainly like to say that this is a great movie. It grows on you. The first time I saw Dogma I was sitting there majorly dissapointed because the acting wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped, but then when I watched it again, I realized what a smart, funny, and completely different movie this was and started to like it. I suggest it to anyone.

i dont come to movies for religion...

people say this movie puts down catholicism, but it really pushes forward all religion in general...a few funny jokes throughout
