Powerful, moving, revealing...
By Steve from Luton from Luton, UK , 17 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
When I went to see this film I knew it was going to be a very powerful film, but I never realised how powerful. A group of three left the film half way through it's showing swearing and shouting expletives at the cinema screen, clearly unable to take the message the film was conveying.
The rest of us who stayed got to hear details of how members of the Bin Laden family were gathered and flown out of the country while the rest of the air traffic was in post-911 lock-down, how the Bush family had prominent Saudi financeers including the Bin Laden family itself, how most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia yet there was no official investigation into this fact, how *none* of the hijackers were Iraqi despite the much-trumpeted 'connection' between Iraq and terrorism... how the artificial Iraq/Bin Laden 'terrorism' connection was sold to the American people in order to convince/deceive people into supporting an invasion of Iraq ... the list goes on and on.
If you consider yourself open-minded to alternative views, you simply HAVE to watch this film to get an alternative perspective to the one being peddled by Bush & Blair.
Although I'd have to admit the film is pretty biased, the views presented are legitimate and deserved coverage which has been unfortunately sorely lacking from both British and American news outlets.
It's a sad state of affairs that many of the facts presented in this documentary are not generally known and certainly haven't been given the kind of coverage and scrutiny they deserve. The Bush administration has had pretty much a 'free ride' in that sense, with the help of a complicit media, bouyed on by an exagerrated sense of panic and fear, created by the Bush administration (through constantly-changing 'Terror Alerts',etc) in order to keep both public and media in line.
WATCH THIS FILM. You won't regret it.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 25 Dec 2012Like sherlock Holmes said, 'without information we twist facts to suit theories, rather than theories to suit facts'., what we see here is Michael Moores opinion of things and nothing more.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hard Hitting (with a couple of low blows)
By woods1 (25 reviews) , 21 Nov 2012Powerful but flawed account.
No attempt was made to ascertain what, if any, idealogical link existed between OBL and the rest of his family.
And an unforgivable fallacy made at around the 110 minute mark that, pre-2003, Iraq was a place of happy-weddings and children skipping through their lives. Aside from any privations that the Hussein dictatorship may have elicited - UN sanctions were killing children in their thousands.
Estimates range between 100,000 and 500,000 (UNICEF) 1991-2003. Thats more than all the civilians killed in Iraq during the 2003-2011 conflict. The numbers speak for themselves - shame the pictures don't.- Was this review helpful to you?

The truth is out there...
By escoces (1 review) , 12 Nov 2012It should be part of the school curriculum. When there are sources of information so clearly and well presented out there like Fahrenheit 9/11, you might despair that most people continue to believe whatever the powers that be would have them believe. Another great effort by Michael Moore to dismask the conmen that run the show.- Was this review helpful to you?

Too bias to be of value...
By MilitaryLife (1 review) , 22 Oct 2012Whilst this documentary uncovered some disturbing facts and figures, the sheer level of opinionated comments make it little more than entertainment. Unfortunately, the majority of quotes appear to have been taken out of context and thus they become valueless.
Definitely worth watching, however you have to take what you hear with a pinch of salt and remember that it is, effectively, a propaganda tool.- Was this review helpful to you?
