Fighting the lies of the Bush administration with lies of his own and thus making him no better than Bush himself. Definitely not a source for factual information which makes this "documentary" completely worthless for anyone who really wants to get anything out of it.

Is it propaganda or is it a stunning expose of the first four years of W's time as President? The fact that we have this debate over the film proves that it IS that compelling. Call him whatever you want, but Michael Moore can throw together a documentary like no one's business.

Enjoyable, but it can be manipulative. Don't watch if you cannot digest Moore's politics. It's pretty poor as an attack film on Bush, he could've done a lot more and a fair amount of what's included isn't really interesting. Moore's skills here are quite clear, but the film is flawed.

Manipulative, one-sided, blah blah blah, but in 2004 we were deep in the thick of goose-stepping, Dixie Chicking, with-us-or-against-us, beating-the-drums-of-war, rah rah, god bless George Bush and the Republican Party bullshit, and it was a pretty scary time, so although it would have been easy to dismiss four or even two years later, I admire anyone who stood up against Bush back in '04.

It's ok, I know it's a documentary and it should just be about facts and information, but bowling for columbine was more entertaining.

Judge Holden | 2 15th |
Moore uses the same logical fallacies and employs the same ignorance that plagues conspiracy theorist propaganda like Loose Change or Zeitgeist. You'd be better off just watching the infinitely more grounded and insightful documentaries by Adam Curtis, like The Power of Nightmares.

Excellent, but not quite as excellent as Bowling for Columbine. Moore wisely keeps himself out of the movie for the most part, though it could have used a little bit more of his humor. It gets bogged down occasionally on tangents. For instance, the bit about the military recruiters is enlightening, but goes on far too long. And a lot of the information could have been summarized much more efficiently. There's plenty of good stuff, though.

Moore certainly raises some good points, but his technique is still far too dishonest and manipulative. And unlike Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 is often boring.

It's not original like Bowling for Columbine and it's just barking... nothing else. I wish Moore would attack Bush with his mind not with his mouth.

Michael Moore's name is synonymous with demagogy, self-aggrandizement and cheap manipulation at best, conspiracy theorizing at worst. Think a leftist version of FOX News, only worse.

He sure doesn't play fair at some moments, but it's hard to disagree with what the guy is saying.

It only gets this good a rating because I at least applaud Michael Moore for trying to get people to think. Aside from that, he's a hack of a film-maker and his agenda is so obvious that any documentarian credibility is shit on.

Why? Truth or fiction have absolutely no bearing on the lack of quality here. An epic story of 'political marketing' which has absolutely no place in the entertainment industry.

This movie is manipulative, and presents things that arn't quite true as if they were through supposition (et cetera). At the same time there is also a lot of factual information, just a little out of context and squewed to fit Moore's adjenda (which is not a value judgment, but an observable fact and independant of your agreement on it). This film is a docudrama, not a documentary (which are impartial). If you don't like GW Bush though, it's good.

The thing is -- I agree with Michael Moore. His politics are my politics. But, overall I hated this movie. It's so freakin' manipulative, it just made me want to walk out. And, I. Agree. With. Him!!!! Arghhh! Frustrating as all hell.

While Michael Moore may be the most successful idiot in the film world, the way he presents his documentaries (even without all the facts) can easily sway you to his point of view (that is, until you know all the facts that he failed to make apparent).

One of a very few movies that I have paid to see in a theatre more than once. The audiences ranged from teenagers to elderly. It prompted spontaneous outbursts from time to time during the movie (Brittney Spears was roundly booed) and both times I saw it in the theatre, there was a standing ovation at the end. I believe history will show this movie to be a lot closer to the truth than the BS put forth by George Bush and his buddies. We'll see.

Whatever he's saying against the Bushites is alright with me and he does it quite entertainingly, but this AgitProp piece just contains too many half-truths and downright lies to make me consider this a serious, well-made documentary.

Michael Moore is a hypocritical fat dunce that should go back to directing music videos for rage against the machine. There is no reason this movie should have ever been released for the big screen, this barely passes for PBS.

I'm kinda sad to say that I stood up and applauded at the end of this in theatres. However, I think Moore made some cogent points amongst his ramblings.

Moore is a dick, but a dick that can put together a pretty decent documentary. His ramblings and attacks on the Bush administration get old fast, though.

Michael Moore hates George W. Bush. Hates him so much that he hurt what could have been a great movie by going too far in using catty voice-over insults while he could have just let the images speak for themselves. I find most of Michael Moore's movies interesting, and while I often agree with a lot of his political ideas I don't necessarily love how he puts them out there. They seem like they are trying to incite vitriol more than intelligent conversation. It's a shame really.

Urghh.... God fucking damn I hate Michael Moore. Even as someone who would be considered liberal (in the US at least) and left-wing ('liberal' & 'left' - are not the same thing!), this is just pure fucking nonsense. Listening to an idiot like Moore is the most dangerous thing any lefty can do. Base your opinions on this rubbish at your own peril!

This is an entertaining thought provoking attack on George W Bush among other things.If you are a fan of Michael Moore then you should check this one out. It is hard to believe that Bush actually got reelected.

Many saw the footage of Dubya sitting still for 7 minutes in front of schoolchildren after learning of the 9/11 attacks as a great act of journalism. Instead, it illustrates the too often ignored filmmaking skills of Michael Moore as he provides insight into the ineptitude, callousness, and incompetence of a villain. From there, the war's mismanagement comes into focus--wonderfully documented via some heartfelt interviews with young people in Flint, Michigan. A classic time capsule of an era.

Moore has that kind of manipulative style that you can appreciate only if you agree with him.
