I actually went to see it a couple weeks back. Didn't post on it before because I can't add much to what has already been said about it.
Let's just say my jaw was scraping the floor through pretty much the entire show, given the titanic amount of BS, deception, misdirection and half-assed insinuations that made up the mockumentary. It was truly pathetic for the most part, though pieces of it did shine through and touch a few nerves. Overall, it was pretty frightening in it's brazen agenda of Bush-bashing.
What was even more frightening was the number of Neanderthals sitting around me buying every bit of it, hook, line and sinker. The blanket credence that this movie has received from a sizeable number of the public is disturbing as Hell. It seems that people no longer want to recognize truth from fiction, just as long as it's something they can agree with and relate to...
The entire tone of the movie just smacked of propaganda; well-written and dramatized propaganda, though, if that counts for something.
The movie DOES grab your attention, much in the same fashion street-corner preachers do when they are screeching about the end of the world. Moore isn't all BS; he does bring up some valid points and concerns on how things have been handled in the Bush administration, but IT'S THE WAY HE GOES ABOUT IT. The guy is little more than a 5-year old with a camera, using a metaphorical sledgehammer to attack any and every issue that runs contrary to his belief system.
I'd say Moore is creative, not smart. He takes FEW stands on anything; he's more into raising a ruckus than putting forth solutions to problems. If he was smart, he'd be offering solutions to what he screams about loudest; REAL solutions, not just replacing President x with President y.
