Review of Dogma

Dogma (1999)
6/10
For a while there, it was fantastic
8 September 2017
I was fully expecting Alan Rickman to walk away with "Dogma", even with such an impressive cast. And he comes close. But what I absolutely did not see coming was just how funny Jay is in this movie. I've always preferred Silent Bob, but Mewes is a riot.

This isn't my favorite of the View Askewniverse. It's long-winded and the incessant conversations on scripture mythology get old. You can tell Kevin Smith was exorcising some self-doubt here, but by the time the gang gets trapped in the bar, I'd mostly checked out.

I can't hate on a movie that's given the world Buddy Christ, but at a certain point, I was missing that first half pretty hard.
