What a great word! And description of this movie. Now I know, there are those people that, if Kevin Smith filmed himself giving his grandmother an enema, would think it was cinematic genius. If you're one of those please skip this review.
They started out with a great premise, great plot, great characters, great everything....then it just degenerated into a huge ol' bash religion fest. Thing is, I agree with a lot of the ideas (NOT beliefs, ha ha) presented in this film. So why did they have to downgrade into a bloodbath on the stairs of the cathedral? I'm not even Catholic, but I was like "Christ, wouldja ease up already!" As soon as I saw ol' George "I'm a washed up has-been and I hate everyone and everything" Carlin as the Bishop, I knew we were going downhill and I wasn't proven wrong.
And what a waste of the hilarious and multi-talented Chris Rock, too!!! Dogma was just SOOOO disappointing on so many levels.
