Thanks for the links Grojilili-accckkkkk. (Gotta screw up your name to keep the faith.) I knew there were probably other posts (since I rented it long after it was a movie), but I was too lazy to search. You did my homework for me.
What I like is that Moore doesn't prostheletize so much as he just sticks people on camera and lets them make fools of themselves.
I think he was generally fair. The Michigan militia didn't get too much of a hard rake, for instance.
What I did not like was the way he pressed Heston. Heston represented the NRA well, but he kept pushing. Too far, IMO, which is why Heston ended the interview.
In the end, the movie is an in-depth look into the American psyche and how/why we act the way we do. It looks to the media and makes some very fair assertions (not conclusions).
As I said, I was skeptical of the movie, and started only by giving it the "10 minute" test. But, it was a good flick, much better, IMO, than Roger and Me.
