open your mind

doesnt bomb you with facts you didnt know as much as other documentaries, was an amount you can handle in its more than 2h runtime, but very interesting stuff, the psychological analysis of "corporation" was great

Stupid propaganda made to appeal to stupid thinking.

Interesting documentary bringing up some disturbing issues. But I can't help but wonder how biased or distorted the view of this film is. Sometimes I wish I had the knowledge of truth, but unfortunately the 'truth' is usually channeled to me through an array of filtering glasses. The problem is that you usually don't really know what kind of glass you're looking through. Either way, it's still an interesting documentary with a pretty powerful message.

A very talky, informative and devastating doc about the corporation's nature of evil.

Excellently researched and phrased. Although this is ultimately structured like any other documentary of its kind, it is well executed enough to come across as genuine and impartial, whether or not it actually is. It is also interesting to see Michael Moore talking on these issues outside of his own work: he is much more impartial and relaxed when being interviewed. Overall, top notch work.

While it's certainly cherry-picking the worst cases available to make its point, The Corporation is filled with infuriating, depressing and informative bits and pieces that kept me glued to the screen and made me die a little inside at the same time.

It seems to touch upon everything wrong with the corporate system in its almost 2.5 hour run-time, with support of world-renowned experts and archival footage. The bit about Fox News being allowed to falsify their news was particularly chilling. Although it ends with an uplifting message of "get off your couch and change things!", it ultimately leaves you feeling powerless. It's especially relevant today, as we begin to witness corporations using their new boundless right to influence elections

Nothing bad about this film, it just didn't have that impact you'd want from a documentary.

"In our current polarized cultural climate, it seems there are fewer and fewer people for whom The Corporation is a wake up call."

Only reccomended if into left wing activism. Quite long and ponderous. Informative though.

As good as I hoped it to be. Very informative, but of course on a lower level than Adam Curtis documentaries. Lots of smart people gets interviewed from both sides. Of course the main idea is to tell why corporations are bad, so it can be called one-sided or biased. But you can't ignore the truth.

Consciousness-raising, conscience-pricking documentary, reciting a laundry list, two and a half hours long, of the vices of big business past and present. A rotation of experts (CEOs, Harvard profs, Milton Friedman, Chomsky, Moore, many more) lectures directly to the camera and over a wide variety of archival clips.

Anti-corporate bias? Sure, but that's like saying I Spit on Your Grave has an anti-rapist bias. The subject is hostile, and really should be treated as such. Anyway, it's long, really long. It's also incredibly infuriating, but not really that exciting. New information? Not if you're a lefty, our piddly little websites and free weeklies have been giving us this shit for eons. But then, it hasn't really been put together in just one place before. An essential movie, really, warts and all.

As soon as Michael Moore turned up my heart sank. This is more or less on the same level as him, incoherent and jumbled with emotive anecdotes rather than being broadly informative. Just so you don't think I'm a partisan idiot, the film barely even touches upon corporate lobbying in the political process which I would have thought would have been important. It's just a left wing preaching-to-the-choir two minute hate piece about how corporations only want money. Tell me something I don't know.

All I can say is I'm glad I don't drink American milk. Well, I'll also say this: shaking your finger at corporations, or even going out with protest signs, isn't going to encourage massive reform. This doc makes it clear right away that corporations have been given too much freedom by the government, so it's THERE where the problem lies. It's like scorning a child for being bad when his parents told him he could do whatever he wants. It ain't his fault his parents suck. Ya know?
