Fahrenheit 9/11

Pros: brings a visual clarity to a subject that desperately needs it
Cons: too silly at times, some subjects need more depth,

It was quite ironic that I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 in a Loews theater yesterday. The Carlyle group recently purchased the Loews chain, and this group gets fairly well skewered in Michael Moore’s new film. I guess they figure if they ...

Pros: most of the second half
Cons: laughing off dangerous demagogues

I usually write about movies or books with no previous epinion reviews, or to buck a consensus with which I disagree. The combined rating of one hundred epinions about Michael Moore's " Fahrenheit 9/11" is the same (four stars) as mine. Although I have ...

Pros: Events shown through the eyes of people who are really hurt by Bush policies
Cons: None, to this Democrat

This is the movie that I have been waiting for. Was it slanted? Yes. Was it an accurate portrayal of what has happened since Dubya stole his way into the White House? Yes. Am I biased? Hell yes. I'm a Democrat who had to endure 4 years of Bush ...

Pros: Will make you angry or at least will make you think!
Cons: Nothing important enough to keep you from watching it!

I couldn't sleep last night after finally getting a chance to see Fahrenheit 911 last night on DVD. When it was released a few months ago I wanted to see it but never had the chance..When I saw that it as released this week I ran right out to my ...

Pros: Thought- provoking; Moore's wit and sarcasm
Cons: Runs off its intended course; Not as well- made as it could have been; Speculative

War is an ugly undertaking that costs millions of dollars and thousands of lives. The U.S. and other nations have participated in their share of wars during their existence as sovereign nations, and by and large, the wars fought were either in self- ...

Pros: Moore makes interesting points about the war with Iraq
Cons: Moore can be too sarcastic for his own good

At one point in the documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," President George W. Bush notes the presence of Michael Moore in a crowd and advises this movie's director to behave himself. Of course, that's easier said than done for Moore. He wears his liberal ...

Pros: moving, presents some undeniable facts, music
Cons: manipulative, can be criticized as “propaganda,” too broad in scope

Do you remember what it was like to trust your government? Back in the simple days of the Cold War, I blissfully thought of the USA as “the good guys” and Russia and East Germany as the enemies. President Reagan’s image on television gave me ...

Pros: Moore mainly allows ugly truth to speak; for its horrors, film is extremely entertaining
Cons: Potential for overkill with the multifarious attack against all things Bush camp

Fahrenheit 9/11 is Michael Moore’s bloody Valentine to the Bush administration, and it will be very interesting to see the extent to which this beautifully composed, timely, and quite frankly shocking exposé will rock the White House, and ...

Pros: Important subject. True facts. Enough humor to make it go down. A politically moderate agenda.
Cons: Moore really should groom himself before the couple of scenes where he appears.

I assume that it is not strictly necessary to _review_ Fahrenheit 9/11 this late in the 2004 presidential campaign, in the sense that this is the movie’s 118th review just on Epinions alone. Quick summary just in case: filmmaker Michael ...

Pros: Extremely important subject matter...
Cons: not given the justice it deserves.

“Though the odd opinions and extravagant actions enthusiasm has run men into, were enough to warn them against this wrong principle, so apt to misguide them both in their belief and conduct; yet the love of something extraordinary, the ease and glory ...

Pros: lots of real stories of Americans; a cartoon too; entertaining and interesting
Cons: Moore mugs a lot

Can I really add anything new to the over 130 reviews on this site of Fahrenheit 9/11 that are either on the high or low road, but not usually on middle ground? I think it’s safe to say that many people don’t want to be told what to do or ...

Pros: Very entertaining and often humorous.
Cons: Very one-sided, credibility issues.

Let me begin here by reiterating the warning I offered at the beginning of my Bowling For Columbine review: Michael Moore is not a straightforward documentarian. He uses the documentary form to be sure, yet his films are not documented statements ...

Pros: Excellent film-making of its type.
Cons: As reality, its veracity is wide-open to question and debate.

On Friday, June 25, I saw the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, and I will never be the same again. I believe it will be that way for every thinking person who sees this movie. I am a politically independent American, swearing allegiance to no one ...

Pros: I'm ready to nominate Lila Lipscomb and her family for a Nobel Peace Prize...
Cons: It's still Michael Moore.

I’d been waiting in line for about a half hour. Two teenagers had parted the line directly in front of me in order to stuff the Dippin’ Dots machine with dollar bills, when the audience from the 12:00 showing started coming out. I know ...

Pros: Plenty of verifiable facts to back his assertions.
Cons: Seen through a biased eye.

I should preface this review by telling you that I claim allegiance to neither the Democrat nor Republican Party’s. I am an Independent in my political affiliations and a moderate on most issues facing the nation. But I am an idealist, I strongly ...
