Summary: real reality TV
Review: Michael Moore went all the way on his second documentory. He didn't just pick one reason for school shooting, like violence in the media or parents who don't love enough, he looked at every single aspect and then compared it to other countries. In the end you are left with a want and a need to take action. It was a truly moving peice of art. I don't just recommend watching this, I recommend buying this and watching it every time you get a chance.

Summary: a wonderful, eyeopening film
Review: Michael Moore succeeds completely with this documentary. If you're looking for a film that will challenge you and make you ask "why", then this is absolutely for you.Moore is just a regular guy who makes it possible to believe that each and every one of us can go out and make a difference, no matter how big or small. He inspires us to get our lazy selves off of the couch and touch the world.

Summary: Pure Leftist Propaganda
Review: All of the stats that Moore offers can be discarded. His sources are questionable at best. When he throws his stats around, he mixes apples and oranges. He doesn't give respect to the populations of the counties in question, he counts 'gun deaths' differently from case to case and he lies about the chronology of numerous events. Moore simply patched together a series of dubious stats and out of context file footage. His goal was to frustrate the political right with lies and to fuel the fire of ignorance on the political left. He succeeded. And when his integrity is questioned, Moore immediately counters with a flagrant ad hominem attack. He says that everyone who discredits his movie is a 'right wing zealot' with malicious motivations. He will not even entertain questions about the truthfulness of his so called documentary. His only defense is the fallacious statement, 'All of the facts in my film are true.' No crap! How stupid does he think we are? Saying, 'All of the facts in my film are true' is like saying, 'All of the [true statements] in my film are true.' What arrogance. Don't give Moore any pleasure by buying this piece of garbage. If you want to watch it, rent it. And while you're not buying things, don't buy any of Moore's ridiculous books either. He makes most of his sales on what I call 'curiosity purchases' and then he claims that everyone who buys his books completely agree with his views. Don't fuel his fire.

Summary: what is the real issue?
Review: As I read these reviews I noticed that a lot of people are critisizing Michael Moore for falsifying facts or events. Opinions of this aside, the fact remains that the US has WAY more deaths by firearms than any other nation on earth. Does no one else feel that there is still a problem with this. Thats my piece. (PS. if given the option, avoid american network news shows.)

Summary: Michael Moore exposes the "real" america
Review: In "Bowling for Columbine", Michael Moore not only exposes america the way it really is, but does it without anger or media filtered information. His interviews are stunning; both with style, and truth. Many critisise this as being "un-american", and "not a documentary", but infact this is a truly marvelous piece of art. We didn't vote this president in as a country. "We, the people" have a legitimate reason to be enraged. Moore IS a great american, but most of all, My hero.

Summary: Typical Michael Moore: Heavily Biased Liberal Propaganda
Review: This movie can be regarded as entertainment and nothing more. Moore claims that an Americans funadamental right to bear arms is the sole reason that two young men murdered twelve young children and injured many more before taking their own lives at Columbine High School. He asserts that the NRA is to blame for this tragedy when in fact psychological factors and previous experieces with other students are more realistic explanations. He mentions nothing about the two assailant's family life at home. Instead he chooses to place the blame on the federal government, claiming that wars dating back to Korea have created teenage killing machines that populate the country's public schools. In Moore's eyes, nearby Lockheed Martin, a major weapons contractor also played a part in the actions of the Columbine shootists. He claims the fact that missiles are made miles away from Columbine High School convinced these young men that it was okay to take the lives of other innocent children. While visiting the brother of one of the Oklahoma city bombers, he makes an unfounded connection between nuclear missiles and hand guns. These types of absurd connections and "proof" that guns are ruining this country continue throughout the film. Sensationalistic garbage should not be winning awards, and this film should be taken as nothing more than a joke.

Summary: Brilliant truth and insight into American culture
Review: It only made me want to move the hell out of the USA more. It also confirmed my beliefs that Marilyn Manson is an amazingly intense and brillant artist who is totally missread by people. I would love the chance to really get to know this man.
I also loved his interview with Matt Stone (the creator of southpark)- it was absolute truth, I wish I could of seen that interview in 7 or 8th grade- it would of changed my life.

Summary: Many things but not a documentary
Review: Moore has gained a reputation for playing fast and loose with the facts and numbers to make his point, and this movie lives up to that reputation. The ultimate outcome is that his film does more of a diservice to the anti-gun argument then a service.
On the up side, his style is unique and sort of "in your face" interesting.
The recent events surround the 2nd gulf war in Mr Moores rather open and public support of terrorists has also been more then slightly disheartening to many people.
