You can't include Jay & Silent Bob and not expect comparison
I loved Kevin Smith's first two movies Clerks and Mallrats. Chasing Amy was okay, but a little too much of a downer in the end.
Now get this, Dogma seems to be the movie that is the line in the sand for a lot of people. The majority of Clerks/ Mallrats fans didn't care much for Dogma, and vice-versa for the Dogma fans (but not completely, a good number of Dogma fans hadn't even heard of Smith's prior movies).
It's been said that this movie slams the church, but it's just a slanted view on Catholisism that hard liner religous fanatics might find offensive. A lot of the comedy in this movie THINKS that it's offensive. I remember bits on the news discussing Dogma's ramifications, but it all just felt like manufactured drama and debate to me (i.e. publicity stunt).
Throwing Jay and Silent Bob in the mix really messed up the flow and 'believability' of it all, especially when the first three movies had them tied together to a specific area.
What I don't get is where Smith got all this Hollywood clout. His previous films were good, but were cast with several before-they-were-stars. In Dogma, suddenly all these big names appeared in the credits, and would the general audience found the movie as good without the injected star-power? Did he make a deal with the devil?

Dogma - A Very Interesting View of Religion
"Dogma" was the first film by Kevin Smith that I was introduced to, and it quickly made me a fan of the New Jersey mastermind. The acting was superb, Kevin's writing was creative and hilarious, and the movie made you think. Several points in the movie reinforce Smith's point that this is a movie about the importance of faith.I love how it took story lines from the Bible and made an original plot and comedy with them. It unearthed common questions. Why can't God be a woman? What happens when you cut off an angel's wings? Add alcohol and a sense of irony to an angel and what are you going to get? If there were really muses what productions of this day and age would they be responsible for? Everyone played their roles very well and it made for a really amusing movie. Kevin Smith is a genius. I highly advise this movie to ANYONE.

"Does that mean the last Zion is part black?"
THis movie is really funny, especially for religious people. Sure, it makes fun of the Catholic Church, and it even suggsts cnspiracy in the church. Alot of it doesn't make any sense, like God is trapped in a body? He's GOD. He can do whatever He wants! Don't get me wrong I did like it! A little out there, but still very funny. Again remember it wasn't suppose to match up with the Bible. Like God is not a woman, God is genderless, and Jesus wasn't black, He was Jewish etc. But you what? It's a Jay and Silent Bob movie, OK? Don't overanalyze it. Good for those ont sensative to the issure of religion.
