I was debating whether or not to shit on Dogma. Felt wrong, despite the fact that Rickman was indeed great in it.
But now that you've brought it up...I shit on Dogma. Kevin Smith has no eye for action, and his long-winded dialogue collapses under mumbled performances and crummy audio.

That fight scene in the train was so bad. I liked the movie's ambitions though, and it felt like the last time KS really tried to push forward. The cast was great too.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah the cast was fantastic.

Agreed, though Hayek and Fiorentino were both underwhelming.

I liked Linda Fiorentino in that movie. Salma Hayek is a good actress but the super strong accent she had in her early Hollywood career + Kevin Smith verbosity = a lot of rewinding and/or turning on subtitles.
