To anyone who truly understands what it means to be an American, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 should be seen as a triumph of patriotic freedom. Rarely has the First Amendment been exercised with such fervor and forthrightness of purpose: After subjecting himself to charges of factual errors in his gun-lobby exposé Bowling for Columbine, Moore armed himself with a platoon of reputable fact-checkers, an abundance of indisputable film and video footage, and his own ironically comedic sense of righteous indignation, with the singular intention of toppling the war-ravaged administration of President George W. Bush. It's the Bush presidency that Moore, with his provocative array of facts and figures, blames for corporate corruption, senseless death, unnecessary war, and political favoritism toward Osama Bin Laden's family and Saudi oil partners following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moore's incendiary film earned Palme d'Or honors at Cannes and a predictable legion of detractors, but do yourself a favor: Ignore those who condemn the film without seeing it, and let the facts speak for themselves. By honoring American soldiers and the victims of 9/11 while condemning Bush's rationale for war in Iraq, Fahrenheit 9/11 may actually succeed in turning the tides of history. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Moore awareness
Great movie. Really brings to the forefront behind the scene politics. Gets one thinking about issues one would probably never think about. Moore really does a great job of making people aware. I've seen only two of his projects but have enjoyed both.
Rating:  - Good agitprop
Fahrenheit 9/11, by Michael Moore, is yet another example of a potentially talented artist taking the easy way out. There is no doubt that MM has few peers in agitprop, but he has become a magnificent filmmaker, as well. He understands how to truly manipulate an audience without resorting to the cheese of a Steven Spielberg. Evidence of this comes from the fact that the most bravura moment of his latest filmic screed against President George W. Bush comes not from the humanzee grins of our leader ... Read More
Rating: - opens your eyes
this will open your eyes to our government for sure and make you want to know more. Can get you mad at the things we don't know about our government because we don't take the time to know them things. I have watched this numerous times . It is very interesting how 1 person starts a small chain that can destroy our country.
Rating:  - Moore exaggerates his claims about the militrary and George W. Bush, but a good documentary none the less
This is a good documentary for the simple reason that it showed insight on the 2000 election and the second Iraq War. I still can't believe Gore lost the Presidency even though he really should of won. I was definitely against the war in Iraq and this documentary proves why it wasn't necessary. Although Moore points out the flaws in this country, some of his claims about the military are exaggerated.
Rating: - Documentary of the failed Bush administration
After seeing this movie I can't imagine any thinking person supporting the Bush administration. This producer is either loved or hated as is his material. We will continue to support and purchase all movies produced by Michael Moore.
