Movie Reviews of Why We Fight
Movie Review: Vacuous propaganda, but slickly produced
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a big disappointment. There are plenty of good arguments they could have marshaled to make their case, but instead they merely had various "talking heads" stating personal opinions, presenting them as incontrovertible facts. And endlessly repeating of minor variations on the theme.
If you like the genre, the use of visuals and music in the transitions is quite good. However, the attempted manipulation is painfully obvious: The argumentation is so deficient that the slick production values highlight that weakness.
Other reviewers' citing of Michael Moore's work as comparable are misplaced. Moore has lower production values but substantially better argumentation.
