January 25, 2009In the end, if I recall correctly, there's just not enough meat on this bone for it to stand up to its many challengers.
Though I haven't seen it since it was in theatres - now that the Bush "legacy" is completely established, I wouldn't mind re-evaluating it - I remember thin... ...( read more ) -
September 8, 2008Whether you love or hate Michael Moore, this is still a well-made documentary. There's a lot of information and it's clear that Moore has done his research.
Back when this movie came out I was more supportive of Bush, as a lot of the claims in this movie (The weapons of mass de... ...( read more ) -
October 1, 2007Michael Moore has some good points, but overall he is really annoying and ignores any facts that differ from his agenda.

September 28, 2007Very weak effort from Moore, while "Bowling.." was sharp and direct to the point, this one goes the easy route with too much cheap sentimental exploits, among other stuff.

September 13, 2007Michael Moore is one of those film-makers that is either loved or loathed (and if you are a republican, it almost certainly the latter!) I must admit, some of his tactics are a little gimmicky but we must remember that he is facing off against the largest propaganda machine in th... ...( read more )

The most focused work of the director's career. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The documentary's scathing attack on the war in Iraq and George W. Bush's presidency is informative, provocative, frightening, compelling, funny, manipulative and, most of all, entertaining. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
Fahrenheit 9/11 is not a documentary for the ages, it is an act of counterpropaganda that has a boorish, bullying force. It is, all in all, a legitimate abuse of power. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Not just a scathing indictment against the President... but a deeply patriotic movie which reminds us of the principal tenets which makes a true democracy so great. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
It is worth seeing, debating and thinking about, regardless of your political allegiances. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The film doesn't go for satirical humor the way Moore's Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine did. Moore's narration is still often sarcastic, but frequently he lets his footage speak for itself. full review

November 1, 2007Hey, I liked it and since I'm how many years late in watching it it's pretty obvious that Bush and his "administrative cronies" has practically run this country into the ground.
