How can anyone not like Kevin Smith films. Watch Chasing Amy and tell me that isnt a great movie

Ahhh, thats exactly my point. Just because someone makes one or two good films then that doesnt automatically make all of his other films fantastic!

Chasing Amy was good
Dogma is brilliant

The rest are mediocre at best, Mallrats just came at the right time for disaffected yoofs in the 90's that was all. Its poorly made (Obviously, couldnt be helped), with a very predictable plot and ending, very thin jokes based around stupidity and a few funny geeky references thrown in. And the rest of his movies follow the same pattern. Dont believe the hype.

Its harsh to judge him on Mallrats. Smith himself isnt all that proud of it as it wasnt the movie he wanted to make. As it wasnt his money and his first proper movie when he was told to change things he did, thinking as Universal had made lots of movies in the past they knew what they were doing better than he did.

Well I havnt seen Clerks, but basing my view on Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob and some of the 'evenings/interview' stuff he has done.

He also seems to think he himself is brilliant and funny, which is never a good quality

If you dont like the evenings he has done then wont like clerks then, its fairly much the same material

What can I say, I gave him every chance (Mainly due to Dogma...)
