USATODAY.com - Put politics aside: 'Fahrenheit 9/11' will entertain
by digitalreporter at 11:10 am EDT, Jun 23, 2004

] Fahrenheit 9/11 (* * * ½ out of four) is everything
] you've heard. It also is some things you haven't heard,
] which is what makes it worth watching.

] Of course, its strong point of view in an increasingly
] polarized nation will draw both ardent support and
] virulent opposition. But no moviegoer will be bored. 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.
]
] Much of what filmmaker Michael Moore focuses on has been
] covered in news reports, magazine articles and books. But
] because he still manages to present new data and
] little-seen footage, connecting the dots in a cogent and
] persuasive way, Fahrenheit 9/11 is the year's must-see
] film.
]
] Few will forget the devastating footage of Bush's
] bewildered, dumbstruck reaction on the morning of Sept.
] 11, 2001, when he learns of the attack on the World Trade
] Center. Instead of conferring with advisers, he sits
] quietly in a Florida classroom for an interminable seven
] minutes and then reads My Pet Goat to the children.

Fahrenheit 9/11
by Elonka at 5:15 pm EDT, Jun 23, 2004

Pretty much all of the reviews that I've read of Moore's film are by people who freely admit that they agree with Moore's politics, and so I treat their high scores with suspicion.

Has anyone seen a review of the film from someone who disagrees with Moore's politics? I'd be interested in that for a balanced perspective.
