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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's poor journalism / documentary with a lot of one-sided arguments and childish edits. Showing how thin the other side is would've made this a more powerful piece / argument. But alas, we're left with this...

Michael Moore is not a documentarist. He is something of an equivalent to a columnist as a documentary filmmaker. Opinionated, outspoken, angry and loud - Fahrenheit 9/11 is him at the top of his game. Mr. Moore selectively chooses which facts to present to paint exactly the kind of picture he thinks is correct. Fahrenheit 9/11 should be taken with a grain of salt, but the virtue of this kind of film making is its ability to create conversation and controversy. It is a well-crafted opinion piece

Less a revelation about Bush than a melodrama of his futile, alarming presidency. Its indictments shouldn't be news to anyone, but Moore delineates them with striking footage and an unremitting narration that basically reasons that Bush is (was, thankfully) inept, lying, fraudulent, failing and has poor preference of friends. While Moore's voice-over modulates from indignation to cynicism, some incisive visual sections speak for themselves.

Exactly what you would expect from Moore. Since the only thing I care about in a documentary is objectivity, I don't consider his movies documentaries, even though most of what he sais is true. Still though, entertaining as hell, quite informative, fun watch but can't take it too seriously because of the tone. And a bit too much dramatization this time.. Less drama please.

This film really irritated me. And I'm NOT a fan of Bush.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" drags horribly in its first hour -it reminded me more of a news report than a film. It focuses on Moore's main weakness as a filmmaker, his questionable research (like we need proof that Bush is a moron). However, the second hour is a vast improvement, emphasizing on Moore's trademark irony, humor, cleverness and the occasional (obvious, but effective) emotional manipulation. There is some fascinating footage that makes this terribly biased film compelling and worth-watching.
