I'm not saying that I believe everything this movie tells me, but I'm not saying I don't believe it either. The point is not to take sides my fellow Americans. To completely put all your trust and faith into Bush or Moore is wrong. It is not un-American at all to distrust and disagree with our president. Again, I don't necessarily believe or take to heart what Moore has presented, but I respect the fact that he's going out on a limb to question someone of high authority. Moore isn't an "America hater", if anything he is more American by questioning and thinking freely. So don't take sides, because you don't have to. Think for yourself, and remember that questioning your government will never be a bad thing.… Expand

A good documentary but your enjoyment of it will depend too much on how you feel about sensitive political issues. I believe that most of what is portrayed here is relevant and true and wish more people would at least have an open mind about this.

There is, of course, a reason people on the far-right want you to avoid this movie: It's entertaining and damning of Bush at the same time.

What There is, of course, a reason people on the far-right want you to avoid this movie: It's entertaining and damning of Bush at the same time. They are entitled to their opinion, of course, as long as they've seen the film. What troubles me is their belief that patriotism can not encompass dissent. (Though they never had a problem with this when Clinton was in office!) To those on the far-right who say "Move to Canada!" or whatever new version of "love it or leave it" they can manage, I say that the idea of a nation with millions of nuclear weapons and exclusively made up of neo-cons is a very scary though.

No matter how much you After seeing this movie, which was very effective, it leaves me with only one choice in this presidential election, and anybody who takes Moore's message seriously has to vote for the same candidate: Ralph NADER. No matter how much you disagree with Bush, Kerry is right there in bed with him by authorizing the Iraq war. Go Vote, people, but if you don't like the Iraq war, you have to vote for Nader. The only thing Kerry would have done differently would have been to employ more French troops, more Germans, and more Russians, all of whom would have bombed innocent Iraquis like we have done. War is hell, and ONLY Nader was against war in Iraq. Kerry voted to authorize this war. Kerry participated in free fire zones in Vietnam. Maybe he would have extended the inspections for a few more months, but he wanted this war just as much as Bush. They are both full of it. It's NADER time. (And you all know who Moore voted for in 2000, right? Nader.)… Expand

Of course some of the things Michael Moore says are already common knowledge (perhaps in all the world except USA). The bin Laden family financial affairs with George W. Bush for example is something we all knew! The film contains some really breath taking moments. I must say that although I don't like your President (I'm from Greece), I was really shocked when this happened. Shocked and sad. Anyway, about the film... Moore doesn't say a word about the part of Israel in this case and about the neo-conservatives (Cheney - the real US President for me -, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz) who in 2000 stated that a huge terrorist act would justify a war in Iraq (are they prophets or what?). Also, I didn't like the scene when he asked the members of the Parliament to send ther children in Iraq, it didn't contain class. But I think it was a good thing that some Americans start to think whether their goverment is telling the truth or not. Food for thought, nonetheless. … Expand

I was enjoying the movie for the most part, until Moore made a bald-faced lie that is uncontrovertable. He states about 2/3 of the way through the film that Saddam Hussein had never killed a single American before the Gulf Wars. I hope I was enjoying the movie for the most part, until Moore made a bald-faced lie that is uncontrovertable. He states about 2/3 of the way through the film that Saddam Hussein had never killed a single American before the Gulf Wars. I hope he's ready to send an apology to my best friend and his mother who lost their father/husband who was working in Kuwait as a consultant and was killed by Iraqui soldiers who invaded Kuwait. Sovereign Kuwait!! That was possibly the most offensive, insensitve thing I've ever heard on film. I'm telling my friend not to see the movie, but he insists on watching it. It sickens me, thinking back to Moore's self-righteous tone of voice as he tells this reckless, ignorant lie. Makes me want to puke. Playing it fast & loose with the facts, juxtaposing mutilated Iraqi children with American soldiers listening to death metal music -- all is in poor taste, but excusable. Nobody takes the guy all that seriously anyway. But insisting that Saddam never killed any Americans is a slap in the face of my best friend and his entire family. Shame on you, Michael Moore.… Expand

I really liked this movie, and when I came out of the cinema I had a great feeling. Maybe this would open the eyes about the war in Iraq, even if you ask people on the street they usually say that the war was wrong. It really surprised me I really liked this movie, and when I came out of the cinema I had a great feeling. Maybe this would open the eyes about the war in Iraq, even if you ask people on the street they usually say that the war was wrong. It really surprised me that he won the next election, at maybe he shouldn't have, and he actually cheated like the movie says he does. A lot of these clips that Michael shows in his movie, had been shown in the news and I recognized some of them, and you have to admit that Bushes behavior has been very weird. Even though some people say that this is propaganda, all lies and is stupid just doesn't want to see the facts. A lot of these things are true, and can anyone actually stand up and tell me why a war where hundreds of thousand people have died? Was it to force democracy down on a middle eastern country, how many Iraqis do you think are happy about this war? The only ones that are happy is Bush and those blinded greedy people that follow him. I cant give you a certain number of how many people have died in Iraq since bush are hiding the numbers (i wonder why), but its quite high and at least above 100.000 people. I cannot rate this a shining 10 because Moore got a little carried away and actually told some lies. I thought this movie was really good and i liked it a lot, i loved his humor and there is no extreme editing in this movie to make bush look bad, there of course a little but who can blame him? A lot of these are live interviews with people and aren't in any way edited so that they somehow say something else that what they mean. This movie is great, not just does more give the audience what they want he also opens eyes. The leader is always a reflection of the people he leads, remember that America.… Expand

But more importantly and more concretely, I happen to This movie could have been MUCH better if it were a bit more even-handed. Not EVERY soldier in Iraq is completely dissolutioned, has become a democrat, and likes to torture prisoners. But more importantly and more concretely, I happen to know about 10 friends who joined the military when I was around college age, guys who all grew up in one of the two wealthiest suburbs of Los Angeles. They all were raised in nice areas, with nice houses, had cars when they were 16, but felt the need to give service to their countries. And most of them happened to be white. Those people do exist. They are not ALL poor minorities who join the military as enlisted men. Moore's message is SO one-sided, that he drowns the power out of his well-reasoned message, which was stated toward the end of the movie: If these wonderful young people are willing to give their lives for our country, our leaders owe it to them not to go to war unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Such an elegant point, and something which could have been explored with more nuance than simply showing graphic images of bloody Iraqi citizens to prove that war is to be avoided at all costs. Was the military action in iraq absolutely necessary? You be the judge. I just wish that Moore given it a better shot.… Expand

I'm a little puzzled by so many Democrats running so hard and fast away from Michael Moore at the convention this week when we all embraced him during the first 4 or 5 weeks of this film's release to the tune of $100M in box office I'm a little puzzled by so many Democrats running so hard and fast away from Michael Moore at the convention this week when we all embraced him during the first 4 or 5 weeks of this film's release to the tune of $100M in box office returns. Are we embarressed by it? Ashamed by it? Do we think it will fuel more votes for Nader? (it seems like this latter point may be the most important, as Nader is the only true anti-war candidate). In fact, I still think that Disney is the mastermind behind the F911 backlash. Disney knew that if they just released the film and made their modest proft, it wouldn't make much of a ripple. By rejecting the film, they created a furor with it, forcing the anti-Bush movement so far to the left that they alienanted all of the Clinton-Republicans and Clinton/Centrist democrats who are happy that Hussein is out of power. Give Disney a little credit here. They duped us all.… Expand

As mark twain said, and excuse me if I slightly misquote him: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Courteous and respectful dissension and public discourse must always thrive in As mark twain said, and excuse me if I slightly misquote him: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Courteous and respectful dissension and public discourse must always thrive in America, as they are the back-bone of our society. Our beautiful nation is not perfect, and thus it is our duty as informed and intelligent citizens to, at times, look upon America with a critical eye. We criticize in an effort to help this country grow. We all love America, and this best thing we can do to help it grow is to work together. We identify the missteps, and do our best right this country's course. Michael Moore in his own overly partisan, but adroit, way exposed this administrations hypocrisy and guile. Moore clearly shows how Bush and his political allies, through manipulation and trickery, lead this country into an interminable conflict in the Middle East. Bush purported that an invasion of Iraq was necessary in a larger war against terror, but, as Moore points out, any discernible observer clearly sees that this war is solely about control of Iraqi oil fields. Michael Moore reminds us that we must question and challenge our government to keep it on a rewarding and benevolent course.… Expand

First of all...I would like to say that some of you are perhaps the worst and most utterly judgemental critics I have ever read reviews from. And secondly I would like to state that some of you are the most overly enthusiastic and light First of all...I would like to say that some of you are perhaps the worst and most utterly judgemental critics I have ever read reviews from. And secondly I would like to state that some of you are the most overly enthusiastic and light hearted critics I've ever seen. Most of those who gave this movie a red score were the following: Conservative, closed minded, totally anti liberal, judgemental, overly harsh, condecending ,biased, and most importantly uninformed. Most of those who gave overwhelmingly positive reviews were : Liberal, overly passionate, anti Bush, fans of MM's previous films, overly positive, closed minded, and most importantly uninformed. I say these things because those that went into the theater to see this film as a liberal supporter or a conservative opposition to MM, were being exactly that! If you cannot put your politics to the side and look, listen, and try to understand then your opinion should not even be taken seriously because whether left or right when you wrote...it was all because you either hated or loved George Dubya Bush. I am a liberal independant and I will admit that I was rather happy to see advertisements for this film. I hate George Bush beyong belief but his film did not make my disgust of the president any stronger...it solidified it. For those who claim it is propaganda I will say that during a few moments it did seem that way. But to totally ignore the evidence behind what MM is saying is just ignorant. To those who say that it is 100% truth I pitty you, for there are many statements made or rhetorical questions asked that are simply the strong opinion of the film maker that are backed by evidence shown earlier in the film. As a documentary it blew my mind as to the extent that information such as this could be aquired, proven, and used in an entertaining yet informal way. Many documentaries come off as rather dull or ordinary to me but this one was so funny, so painful, and so heartbreaking that it was almost as if it was a drama. MM's comentary during the film is well placed and mostly witty but I will admit it became a little over the top on occasion. Actually MM doesn't do much of the bashing in the film. Although we know that through the film's style he is he most of the time lets the president make a fool of himself. Like when Mcarthy was being interviewed in the 50's all MM has to do is let the clips roll and you find out exactly what kind of a person this man is. I'm sure by now you are thinking one of two things, that I am stupid, shallow, biased, and ignorant for my statemtns or "Right on man! That is so true!" I would prefer if you could wtahc this movie once more without your biases and then maybe you people could actually review this movie...or any movie for that matter. Good day.… Expand

Having seen this in the late 2000's after previously watching many documentaries about 9/11 possibly being a conspiracy perpetrated by rich powerful men, possibly some in or with connections to people within the US government, I found this film to be really superficial and timid in asking any tough questions.

Regardless of the factuality of the events shown in the film, and regardless of the controversy that surrounds it, the movie is so meticulously made, you find yourself (even temporarily) convinced that every single thing Moore throws at you is true.
