This movie sucks big time


Morgan Spurlock himself and his unhumble behaviour in this film, is the EXACT reason for the U.S reputation in the Middle East.

He goes through this film acting like an idiot, asking stupid questions, making it all seem like a joke. There's no direction, no plan.

He made a film about a serious subject and made it look like a comic book, especially in the way he constructed the whole graphics of the film with computergame action sequences and baseball cards with terroists on them.

Morgan, we don't care about your wife and your child. Why did you put this in your movie? It's easy for you to go explore the world, make a conclusion that you never would bring a child up in the Middle East and then go back to your safe protected little haven. All that contradicts EVERYTHING you tried to tell in your movie, but you never succeeded.

Yea, these reasons are why the rest of his movies suck as well. A shame that he gets so much press as a documentarian.

I'd say 50% of the country voting again for the same idiot was more or less an EXACT reason why so many dislike the U.S. Really, one guy with a camera asking embarrassing questions in a generally possitive, semi-underground, U.S.-movie doesn't do all that much damage.

Though, Spurlock did want to make it clear that the U.S. is disliked for it's politics and not its citizens. Eventhough the movie has a bs-narrative and computergame action sequence, you have to give Spurlock credit for how the movie debunks a whole lot of western made myths surrounding the middle east. Which is good but also a sad thing, since apparently it's necessary to make a cartoons-filled (debatable) documentary in order to convery a very short news article that says: Hey! From the 1,4 muslims a very small number of people are angry enough to attack western society. No need for panic, just take some responsibly. The rest of those muslims, almost 1,4 billion of em, might still be religious nuts, but they aren't going to want to kill you....more or less just like the (religious) nuts elsewhere in the world.
