I came across this movie when I heard that it was available for free on iTunes. So I downloaded it. I watched about 1/3 of it, but never finished it. I finally got through and finished it yesterday, and here's what I think. It sucked. It falls under the categories of "pointless" and "liberal propaganda" It would be one thing if Moore presented the facts on both sides, and let you choose, but he's so obviously biased towards the left that the movie fails to be a documentary, more of a sweaty fat man's rant. Oh, and wasn't it just amazing how at every college he went to, he was wearing a shirt and/or hat of that college? Gee, way to play to the crowd. There were some funny moments, like when he created funny campaign ads that were in silly ways anti-Kerry. And whenever the counter-protesters showed up, the crowds reaction and Moore's were good. But that's just about all that was good about this movie. It was edited well, and had a pretty good soundtrack (You get to hear Eddie Veder, Tom Morrello, among others). What really disturbed me is one man in the movie gave Moore his dead uncle's Bronze Star.If anyone has seen "Team America World Police", I love that description of Moore. It's pretty much just like it.

Michael Moore is a genius. This movie's amazing. Unfortunately USA have had problems with Bush administration these 8 years, and I really like Americans like Michael, smart. He really woke up and he is trying to wake up all the Americans. Also, I don't know how this grade could be so bad, maybe because there's a lot of republicans here. Michael knows how to put together in a movie information and comedy. The part that he's praying with republicans, and your answers ("and I think that someone has stolen their sense of humor" - about the Republicans who tried to take him to the tribunals) to them are really amazing. Hope that Michael make more movies like it.

i heard that michael moore had a new movie out, and that it was available on the internet. so i downloaded and watched it for free.i am a fan of his movies and love his other documentaries including his tour documentary "The Big One". "The Big One" was very well produced and included interviews with people who had lost their jobs. radio show interviews, moore talking with corporations and lots of footage of moore running around signing books.sorry to say, but this movie is just poorly edited. there is at least 20 minutes of applause footage. short clips of moore giving speeches, a few celebrity interviews. some footage of moore traveling and going to call centers. opposite of his other films, there is very little outside footage.most of the movie turned out to be: short speech - applause - short speech - applause - speech - etc.don't waste your time with this movie. watch 'the big one' or 'canadian bacon' instead. or 'roger and me' if you want to see moore in action, and not just giving speeches.

Firstly, this is a film that is really about more than just raising awareness of the need to vote.It comes across as a film about the right to protest, the right to object, the right to meet, and the right to live in a democracy.Whatever your political persuasion a good society needs its Michael Moore's, he's a voice of conscience, a voice that says what needs to be said when no-one else will do. He is doing what MLK and Bob Dylan did in the 1960s, what Democrates did in the Agora in Ancient Greece... Michael Moore is the voice of the underdog for a new generation - who genuinely cares that the excluded, the poor, the workers, and the unemployed are Americans too.Even if you hate MM, and really disagree with everything he's ever made, you should still agree that his films are a voice that is allowed to be heard.The documentary itself is without a doubt good propaganda for the Democratic vote, but it also pretty good entertainment - it is very funny, and very, very poignant in places.......And the students love him.Pretty stirring in places, with some good live music thrown in, MM is an excellent orator - let's just hope he never becomes a politician - even though he's got the chops for it - because he is the living proof that to hope is to be an American. And that one person can by getting off his or her slacker behind remind us what is means to care for We, the People rather than just Me...Definitely worth the free download...
