Summary: Rabid Liberal Hype At Its Worst
Review: Truth plays no part in this film, which is allegedly a "documentary." Avoid it and Moore's spin on what his pea sized intellect thinks is truth. I would have given it no stars if that was an option.

Summary: Documentary...I don't think so
Review: Just because they used actual film footage doesn't stop this from being a work of fiction. This is a classic example of tailoring your selection of facts and presentation to fit an agenda.Mr. Moore would probably not appreciate having the same tactics used on him. To use his own words..."Shame on You"...

Summary: There should be a "0 star" rating...
Review: Regardless of your political views, this is a poorly thought out excuse for a film. Anyone with more than a room temperature IQ will quickly be disgusted by the filmmaker's pandering and patronizing.

Summary: Worst excuse for a "documention" I have ever seen.
Review: Pure waste of money. It sells as a "documentation" but is nothing but a big huge lie. If there was common sense on this earth that guy should have his Oscar revoked.

Summary: Thought-provoking, but take it with a grain of salt...
Review: I'm actually a fan of Michael Moore, if only because he is one of the few filmmakers whose films actually inspire discussion and debate. However, it's important to realize when watching his films that every image, fact, and interview he shows serves only to promote his own very one-sided agenda. I think it's important to realize this, even if you happen to agree with most of his viewpoint (as I do). For example, in Bowling for Columbine Moore goes through great pains to establish a link between the massacre at Columbine High School, and the fact that many parents in the town happen to work for a defense contractor. He is somehow trying to show a link between the violence perpetrated by the 2 teenagers, and the violent line of work their parents are engaged in. To say this connection is iffy at best would be an understatement. I highly doubt that the 2 Columbine murderers brought guns to school because some of the parents in town worked for a defense contractor. This is more a chance for Moore to take a jab at one of his favorite targets, the defense industry. There is simply no proof of any cause-and-effect between the two. Another connection Moore seems to harp on is the fact that the US dropped many bombs in Kosovo on the day of the shooting. Moore somehow finds this ironic, as if this fact somehow had some impact on the teenagers who decided to murder their classmates. This connection, which he mentions several times in the movie, means less and less the more you think about it. Again, it is just another chance for Moore to get in his commentary on US foreign policy. But to even suggest that this bombing campaign had anything to do with Columbine is rediculous. However, I still reccommend this movie and think every American should watch it. It is a funny, frightening, and important discussion of America's fascination with guns and killing.

Summary: A total farce
Review: This documentary was completely disgusting. I don't think this man has any real convictions or respect for the subject matter he covers or for his audience. Everything he does and says is simply for effect. There isn't a shred of integrity in his work. It's not his "opinions" I'm attacking, I truly don't believe he has a single well-formed one. He is entertaining now and then, but beyond his ability to make a clown out of himself, and those he interviews he has no merrit. He never makes a firm statement, only allusions. He never approaches anyone in a straightfoward matter, but elbows his way into conversation with them and then cross examines them in a no-win fashion. There are people out there who risk everything to expose the truth. This man is a total parody of those people and should be ashamed. Especially ashamed for exploiting the tragic shooting of an innocent child.

Summary: Valuable but Terrible
Review: It's important that films like Bowling for Columbine get the mass-exposure that it has recieved. Hopefully it has somehow gone beyond the usual preaching-to-the-converted audience that so many of these sorts of films engender, and in it's intrusion into the populace's conscience helped bring some formerly ignorant people around to the important issues it covers. The two stars are mostly for my personal distaste (as one of the "preaching to the converted" audience) for and misgivings about Michael Moore. I admire the apparent gumption it takes to be so forward (and rude, not that they don't deserve it) with his interviewees, but I find his particular brand of bleeding-heart sentimentalism and apparent working-man posturing revolting. Maybe this is what allows him to hold the attentions of such a large audience, but it's also obvious, unfunny, and distasteful... It feels like he's reducing the subjects he's sympathizing with to nothing more than his own overwrought emotions, which isn't that different from his corporate opponents' reduction of people to currency. Although it worked well for a film as close-to-home to him as Roger & Me, it's spoiled Bowling for Columbine's noble efforts. Yes, this is a film you should see if you know little about its subject matter or have a platform opposed to Moore's, but it seems like a particularly humorless (with a few exceptions... the bullet history of america, for instance) waste of time for anyone who agrees with Moore.

Summary: Lies and the Lying Liar who tells them.
Review: I don't know what is more insulting about this film, Moore's insultingly apparent political bias or his general disrespect for the value of truth in documentary film making. It might be an acceptable piece of fiction if viewed for propaganda purposes, but other than that it's insulting and a waste of time. A good percentage of the events in this movie are verifiably false and taken out of context in an attempt to damage the cases of Moore's targets. We are left to only wonder what else he had to make up to steal his Oscar.
