Rating:  - Great Film
Love this Film from start to finish. I am of course a HUGE Kevin Smith fan. But this give a very good and unique look at religion and faith. A very good funny comedy. BTW the Blu-ray disk looks great. And sound is awesome as well.
Rating: - Numero Uno
Thanks to Kevin Smith and a lot of acting talent, this movie is number 1 on my movie list: my all-time favorite. Eventually, I'm sure I'll have every movie that Smith has created. His dialogue is so far above everyone else, that alone should recommend any movie this man does.
I fell in love with Clerks and Clerks II, but this! First off, how much better than Alan Rickman as one of the stars can you get? Followed by Matt Damon as "Loki" and Ben Afflick as "Bartleby", then of course Jay & Silent Bob doing their usual schtick (not great actors, but totally amusing are Jay and partner). The little demons were a bit scary -- vicious children generally are. I love George Carlin as a stand-up commedian, but as an actor, I can do without him. Linda Fiorentino played the last Zion, or last living person related to Jesus, who is understandably reluctant to go on this crusade against the two fallen angels. The storyline holds together, the characters are fun and the film itself a definate attention holder.
By the way, I also really like the loyalty Kevin Smith shows to the people he works with: if you watch closely you'll see the two "Clerks" somewhere here.
I'd recommend buying, borrowing, renting, whatever it takes for you to see this movie. If you're easily offended via religion or if you have no sense of humor about religion, perhaps this isn't the one for you. Otherwise, enjoy.
Rating:  - Good but flawed
If you like Kevin Smith movies, you'll recognize his style throughout this one: non-stop cussing, complex (almost incomprehensible) dialog, extreme irreverence, it's all there. Plus, a s*** demon.
If you don't like Smith, stay away. If you're not familiar with him, start with one of his other movies, preferably Clerks, to first get used to his method/madness.
There is a plot in this movie. It's a funny idea. But it doesn't really go anywhere. It really bogs down in the middle section, before pulling out a good ending, one in which Smith goes all the way with his premise. But don't expect any deep religious philosophy from this. We're talking about Kevin Smith here.
Some funny moments. Jay & Silent Bob are great as usual. So is Alan Rickman. Affleck and Damon play fallen angels like frat boys, which some might find grating. Jason Lee and Salma Hayek are wasted. Linda Fiorentino is unfortunately very hard to hear. Can she speak up, please? Maybe put some inflection in her voice? At least there are small cameos by Janeane Garofalo and George Carlin. And the actor chosen to play God is a funny surprise. (IMDB tells me it was originally supposed to be Holly Hunter, which explains one of Jay's bizarre lines in the movie.)
Rating:  - DVD receipt
Item arrived quickly and as described. Some damage to the corners of the box but this more than likely happened in transit. Happy with purchase and seller. Reccomended.
Rating: - looks great on Bluray
I love this movie and it only gets better when you get it in HD. This bluray is great. I highly recommend it.
