Title: What happened to Michael Moore the cheerful agitator?
Review: How can the man who made "Roger and Me", a thought-provoking, educational, serious, sad yet entertaining piece which represented some of the best of American documentary-making turn out such a rambling, nonsensical hot mess?I only give it two stars for its stunning opening - the awful sounds of 9/11 with no picture. That was "movie magic" - one of those utterly gripping screen moments which grabs you by the throat.I suppose the greatest disppointment was...well...everthing after that opening scene. It could have been a compelling story...only the narrative hops around as if on a broken trampoline...tries too hard to do discredit the Bush administration, barely focuses on the back story ("Charlie Wilson's war"; the rise of the Taliban, the history of Al Qaeda, America's love-hate relationship with Saddam Hussein) and never once attempts to explain the mindsets of the hijackers.Moore should be ashamed of himself...I know I am ashamed for him.
