What to say about a movie that says so much all by itself... some people will watch this movie, and not like the point of it, and they will really dig for argumentative points against it. Those people should ask themselves... Full review

What was really interesting about this movie was that Michael Moore seemed somewhat conflicted on the subject. He's been a member of the NRA his whole life and seems to be a proponent of responsible gun ownership and gun laws. He... Full review

In truth, this is the most provocative film I've seen in the last year. I can't stop thinking or talking about some of its eye-opening revelations: among them, the unassuming brilliance of Marilyn Manson in his commentary on the struggles of... Full review

Bowling For Columbine was ingeniously presented and crafted into a masterpiece that was incredibly clever and witty on a major issue plaguing the United States. America is gun nuts, and there needs to be some gun control, yet at the same... Full review

I give this an A+ because it is wonderful. That however, doesn't mean it was without flaws. You'll just be too entranced to notice them. Moore does this documentary in the best of ways. At times he is an "ass" to... Full review

Although primarily a film actor for over five decades in his later years he became better known as conservative political gadfly and it was in his role as president of the National Rifle Association that he became an easy target for Michael Moore in "Bowling for Columbine," the documentary on gun culture. ...

As in "Bowling for Columbine," it's in these instances that Moore, the self-professed man of the people, is at his strongest. But it is quintessential Moore: expertly crafted, eminently entertaining, one-sided and overly simplistic. ... Full Review

Moore's movie may not help, either; he's better at fingering problems than finding solutions. Moore often attacks with dark humor Moore doesn't listen much himself, but he does do some good. ... Full Review

Some of Columbine s strongest moments are occasioned by Moores comic consideration of the absurdities of gun culture. In one of Columbine s most rewarding scenes, Moore travels to Kmarts corporate headquarters with two Columbine victims, Mark Taylor and Richard Castaldo, along with local journalists. ... Full Review

The second film, more famously, looks at various reasons for excessive gun violence in the States, a quest inspired in part by the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School. The film proper takes a similarly skeptical view of official rhetoric. ... Full Review
