The film ends with a strange self-absorved thud of idolatry for the cause. Its use of music was excessively manipulative and unnecessarily so.

Its use of music was excessively manipulative and unnecessarily so. I have to feel that an opportunity was wasted and that, in the end, the good that this film could've done would be erased by its senseless execution of not letting the story speak for itself. I gave it a 7 because I know what Wal-Mart is about and they've presented a rather damning argument despite its poor sense of what makes a quality documentary.… Expand

I wasn't taken in by every aspect of the movie, such as the "poor little employee" stance against the big-bad employer....but at the end of the day (and the end of the movie), it was quite enlightening. Pay close attention to some of the statistics, according to the film, such as the Walton family (worth 102 billion dollars) donating less than 1% of their worth to charity as compared to Bill Gates' 58%. The film claims that there is nearly 27,000,000 sq. ft. of empty Wal-Marts sitting around the country collecting dust. You will not feel that you have wasted your time by watching this film.
