Hmmm... try again!

Sorry to all you Michael Moore fans, among whom I once used to find myself too. But I have to give up this time: this movie is NOT a masterpiece, and unlike some of Moores previous films, this one in particular becomes an embarrassing victim of its own arguments. It presents a lot of peculiar facts. Of course all those small pieces of reality should make one wonder what kind of guy the US president actually is. But instead of just showing the facts, Moore cannot refrain from jumping to conclusions - moreover, he becomes a simple manipulator just as the man he's chasing. Moore is not a bad film maker, not at all, this piece is technically candidating for an A+. But to let the very plot make an over-stating fool of itself, which ALMOST happens towards the ending of Bowling for Colombine, is a mistake, which Morre this time he carries out to the bitter end. What a shame.
