The only people giving this a negative review are the ones who are writing a review based on the premise alone. This movie does not throw all accountability on the corporations. It does point the finger at the consumers as well.... Full review

Is it obvious that we shouldn't eat fast food? Just like smoking we all say yes and still do it, but this film really shows you how bad fast food is for you, and even takes on school lunches. I found... Full review

Morgan Spurlock is one of the greatest documentary writers of our time. He just picks a topic, and not only does he stick to it, he expands on it. The story is mostly the topic that the movie covers: McDonalds. He... Full review

Two years ago I first saw this documentary. I was hooked to this film as soon as I heard about it. It shows how much the fast food industry has taken over our world, and is ruining not only our land,... Full review

Still, "Super Size Me" is an entertaining and powerful documentary for your calorie-challenged tweens and teenagers. OK, so Morgan Spurlock's hilariously scathing documentary "Super Size Me" didn't exactly bring the Golden Arches crashing to the ground. ... Full Review

Super Size Me" was a very enjoyable and quite well documented film, which reached its purpose of informing the viewers about the way huge corporations brainwash customers. It is an often funny film that helps viewers understand a bit more about Middle East culture, but if you wish to know about serious stuff, such as terrorism, religion, oil or democracy ...

So little new information and meaningful context are brought to the table in Morgan Spurlock's film that one truly wonders how the director felt comfortable presenting it to the American public as a finished product. Even the movie's opening credits, which are depicted in the style of a video game � a computer-graphics gimmick repeated throughout the film � was an interesting, media-savvy twist to the grim talking heads that so often dominate documentaries on this subject. ...

MORGAN SPURLOCK: I think the film is incredibly optimistic in what's ahead, I think that's what the film is more than anything else. And ultimately I think it's made me a better filmmaker, and it's made me a better documentarian, and hopefully that shows in this movie. ... Full Review
