I just saw the film myself, and I too would rate it very high. Darn near as entertaining a documentary as Gizmo, and far more enlightening.
Kent wrote in his review: "The main point that Moore made is that America is completely ruled through carefully crafted and manipulated fear." No Kent, it is just fear - nothing careful or manipulative about it. It's not a conspiracy, but more like a festering wound that just keeps getting uglier. At the root of the fear is the stupidity, complacency and ignorance that fosters racial hatred and stereotypes.
The South Park history of the US really sums it up nicely. And go Marilyn! I'm gonna go get some of his albums.
I won't say more since many still haven't had the chance to see it. Do go!
