It seems Moore does his job very well. Liars hate him for a reason. Of course I can't know how much of this is true, but it seems quite genuine and the fact is most of the americans are like sheep. I have seen some of the idiocracy happening in tv for a while and I so despised Bush's goverment. Moore nicely brings things to the new light. Enlightening, shocking, documentary about "terrorism", "war against terrorism" in USA. Too bad some people are so blind to see the truth...

Michael Moore makes some fairly entertaining documentaries, but goddamn is he selective in his information and interviews? Now, I’m not an expert on America, 9/11 or Bush, but that is the exact reason I wanted to watch Fahrenheit 9/11, and to perhaps learn more about these subjects. And since I don’t have all the information regarding the incident, it’s important for me to able to trust the director of the documentary. After watching Bowling for Columbine and finding out that 65% of facts in it was complete BS I don’t feel like trusting Moore. The only reason I wanted to watch Fahrenheit 9/11 was because it broke so many records in terms of documentaries and the box office.
So after…

Of all of Michael Moore’s documentaries this is the one that although arguably the most popular, at least box office wise, is by far my least favorite. Fahrenheit 9/11 as a documentary about the events of September 11th, the effects it had on American society and how it this could of happened in the first place. Or at least that what it was promoted as being it’s pretty obvious to anyone who watches it that it’s much more of an anti-Bush documentary which seems to of been made solely to convince people to vote against George W. Bush in his bid to get re-elected to a second term of president. Well Michael you failed, Bush got re-elected and we all…

Overvalued, overhyped.

A detailed look into the conspiracy, corruption and disgrace George W Bush brought to the image of America and how he exploited the patriotic loving american citizens into giving up their lives for a false war. It's a shame that the current negative views of the US and many of its recent enemies are mostly down to the mishaps of one man.

I'm not going to go into the politics that this film covers because it's mostly irrelevant on whether or not this is a good film. Moore has a great knack at making documentaries and this is a fine example of that. Moore narrates a well structured documentary with his unique brand of cynicism and humor. He keeps it interesting by highlighting the right parts of his story and he definitely knows how to pull at the audiences heartstrings.

A no-holds-barred, direct attack at President George W. Bush at the hands of Michael Moore. Documentary, quasi-documentary, fiction, call it what you may, but this film is a captivating look at one of the most controversial moments America has had to live through. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, sometimes painful... Moore manages to at least force you to explore, to look further beyond what's served to you on national television. Convoluted? perhaps. Paranoic? Oh, yes. But still the film raises lots of question that still need to be answered... and with the USA still deep in war on Iraq (and maybe lots of other places in the following months/years) those answers are as relevant today as they were 3-4 years ago. Whether you agree with Moore's theory or not one can hardly argue that this is a captivating shot at the perception that lots of Americans have about what's happening around.

It was an interesting watch. I'm so glad I watched it AFTER the last US elections because I wouldn't have understood anything.
Here's an interesting fact: I never knew Bin Laden was actually a Saudi citizen!!
