Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Okie review
Review: I think this piece is Mr. Moore's best work so far. It was not as blatantly opinion based as Roger&Me or Downsize This, which helps get his point across. He used more statistics and facts this time. It was a great film and drew every emotion possible. I think it's an amazing achievement in documentary filmmaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Moore is amazing
Review: Michael Moore reveals the sour truth about Gun Control & Gun Violence in our own country. The fact that this movie is able to be produced and distributed is why I am proud to be an American, not the fact that we kill more of our own citizens every year than most of the rest of the civilized world combined.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant look at a sad reality.
Review: This movie is a pure look at the sad state of our country. The facts are clearly presented, and for those who are willing to learn, there's a great deal to garner. The best movie I've seen in a long time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 36,000 KV Lightning Bolt of Reality Check
Review: This movie uncovers deeply rooted subconscious stigma of fictitious fears and forced consumption running rampant in American culture. It ties historical factors, political & special interests, media biases, and our prejudices into an objective framework that can be used as a starting point to seriously address the grave issues that our nation faces. Michael Moore's work is an oasis of reason in the deserts replete with mirages and illusions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most importand movie of the decade
Review: If you have not seen this movie, go out and see it now! See it fifteen time! Not only is it the most thought provaking documentary I have ever seen. Moore is the single most couragious film maker working today, fearless of being judged by reactionarys, fearlessly asking the questions that matter.
Fight facism.
Sincerly, Marlon Burns

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Question what you see
Review:
This is pure left wing [***]. Moore, for the most part, manipulates and lies throughout the whole movie. He distorts the truth to fulfill his agenda, that being to trick naive people into thinking they've just been enlightened by his movie, which in turn, word of mouth spreads, making him more and more money.

There's not even a purpose to this movie. Why does he harass Charlton Heston and the NRA when in this movie, he concludes in the end that they are not to blame? He thinks violent video games and movies are not to blame as well, but he contradicts himself in the end by blaming the American media. He doesn't find a solution or the causes of the problem, he justs flashes a bunch of ridiculous fairy tales on the screen.

With all that being said, I'll still give it 3 stars because there are some funny parts to it. But I seriously hope people that watch this question the "facts" that this movie shows and realize that they're being misleaded.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best movie I have seen in 10 years.
Review: This movie is brilliant and hilarious. Michael Moore made another great movie. Everyone check out Roger & Me, too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: everyone should see this film!
Review: I just saw this movie and I would have to say that I have never seen anything more thought provoking. It was funny one second and moved me to tears the next. Michael Moore brings the truth to the screen for everyone to see. He pushes for answers, and challenges people to THINK! This movie deserves all the credit and recognition it has received or will receive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shame on you, mr. bad reviewer!
Review: After the controversial acceptance speech at the Oscars, Michael Moore has been under a lot of heat and, well, it worked to his advantage. As I type this, his book, Stupid White Men is at #1, he is being offered TV spots for his TV Nation/Awful Truth show, and Moore himself is working on his next film, a look at the Bush/bin Laden business relationship.

Some people will say the movie is "left-bias," but Moore himself was an NRA member and sharpshooter in High School. Some will say Moore never accomplishes his goal (finding out why america is so gun crazy), but the movie comes across more as food for thought. And in the process, he DID educate us about "welfare to work" programs and GOT K-MART TO STOP SELLING BULLETS! Did Chicago or My Big Fat Greek Wedding do that? Michael knows exactly how to keep an audience glued to their seats for two hours, and spend the time LECTURING! The "awful truth" is that documentaries are generally boring, but with segments like the animated "history of america" and "corporate cops" Moore manages to get some big laughs out of a very sorrowful movie. And this movie does tug at all your emotions. Laughing at banks which hand out guns, turns to shock during the actual columbine footage (overlapped with radio news covering the tragedy, and the call to 911 from the school). From there, you're given more laughs, but when you hear the story of the young boy who shot and killed a little girl, your heart just sinks. The movie ends with an absurd interview with Charlton Heston in which Moore not only comes out on top, but makes Heston look (even more) like a geriatric bigot with nothing better to do than dance on the graves of victims of gun violence. Left or Right, gun owner, or gun hater, every American should see this movie. If you don't agree with it, fine, but at least it will generate debate. For those of you giving 1 stars simply because of what you heard inside the Kodak Theater, then shame on you. You're obviously writing your review for "ficticious reasons."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michael Moore is an amazing human being.
Review: Michael Moore's films inspired my interest in politics. Two years ago I did not care at all about anything to do with social issues, and now I am active in my community. I think Michael Moore deserves more than an Oscar, he deserves to become President! ;)
This is a very good film, my favorite thing that he has put out is Downsize This!, his first novel. Amazing book, infuriating facts that will make you rise up and fight for what is right.
Thanks to Michael.
