1. Dogma is one of the most aggressively 90s things to ever exist. If you hate 90s and "Gen-X" stuff, you will loving hate Dogma. 2. If you can stomach that, Dogma... improbably "works".... at least in the way it's intending to. It's never particularly great, or even very good, but there's no fatal flaw or error that compromises the whole. Even the stuff that actively detracts from the movie doesn't kill the momentum or undercut the themes. Hell, Smith is really working his hardest as a filmmaker and for once one of his movies looks better than "I got a modest budget and one major locale, let's do this."

The actors are a huge reason it works. You've got Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck all in their youthful prime enjoying the gently caress out of being able to do diet-Tarantino bits and Alan Rickman is steady no matter what you give him. The screenplay is also tight and focused with a good sense of momentum that allows the actors to play around a lot. When the biggest fundamental critiques you can give are "they should have rethought the poo poo monster," "the Muse thing is badly explained," and "should have been Jeanene Garofalo in the lead" then the movie is working. You may not dig or agree with the messages it's giving, but it absolutely succeeds at giving them.

Dogma is excellent. I generally can't stand Kevin Smith's movies, but it's one of my favourite comedies of all time. This poster elucidated exactly what I was thinking:mind the walrus posted:The actors are a huge reason it works.

Dogma was chronologically the last Kevin Smith movie that's realistically mostly tolerable to someone who hadn't built up a tolerance by that point. After that it's all just like throwing up in reverse.

Dogma came out when I was in middle school and I thought a bunch of the stuff was incredibly profound because I never thought about it before. Stuff like how we assign genders to gods and angels, if Jesus was real then he had a human side to him that's rarely discussed, the church can be a separate actor from the system of beliefs and the believers. I rewatched in college and it didn't feel as profound, but it felt like a guy wrote a story about how he feels conflicted about a bunch of things when it comes to religion. It seems to work and as mentioned earlier, the cast was amazing for that point in time.

It's a solid 3 to maybe 3.5 star movie, you decide whether that's on a 4 or 5 star scale. A bit above average.

Patrick Willems did an interesting retrospective on Kevin Smith about a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voxRYbqrrzg&t=101s He does some skits around the essay, so start at 1:41 if the time code doesn't work.
