concerning those "terrible reviews"...........

Best guess they were generated by a political position that greatly fears what the implications of Moore's film demonstrate.

There is no question the film documents events that discredit the Bush administration, its political, moral and ethical choices in initiating the Iraq war.

Most of the "terrible reviews" will be an attack on the message of the film, reflect a dislike for the messenger---but not address the technical merits of the film or dispute the accuracy of the filming. Moore is generally being condemned for "innuendo." This is silly. The viewer is free to make his own inference of those things he sees for himself. Does Moore work to evoke a response? Of course.

In the final analysis, the public will vote on the merits of the film by spending their money for admission. And they are doing so in record numbers.
