Better logic than Farenheit 9/11, but less emotion

"Why We Fight" doesn't have the dramatic impact of Farenheit 9/11 but it does follow many of the same themes without Moore's sketchy logic, probably because it deals more with the economics of war than the more human elements. While the... Full review

More professionally done than Fahrenheit 911. The film expresses its case expertly, with good footage and wry juxtapositions between comments by military personnel, shots of Halliburton and Dick Cheney, and pictures of dead Iraqi civilians. I encourage all middle-class Republicans to... Full review

Prophetic movie that helps to explain why we have had so many wars and how we don't really know why. I would not say this is a liberal movie, but one that takes on the subject of a speech left by... Full review

Great trailer - but the movie just didn't follow up on what it promised. In the end, the basic thesis and the best arguments in its support were made in the trailer. The movie offers no new arguments. War is business... Full review
Better than F 9/11

As a veteran, I found this movie to be very engaging and enlightening. This movie was much better than Moore's F 9/11. It avoided many of Moore's dramatic tendancies that obscured what he was trying to say. The filmakers in "Why... Full review

To understand what is going on in our federal government see this movie. Every American shoud see why Washington does what it does. President Eiserhower predicted all of that is happening now in the 1950's. A gripping and enlightening "must see"... Full review

This superb film answers the question of how the U.S. has become controlled by the corrupt interests of the Military-Industrial complex President Eisenhower warned against. It's a must-see for anyone concerned with the survival of our nation as a democracy. Even... Full review

Not that it's a funny movie or anything. Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain is shown on camera doing that trick where he talks out of both sides of his mouth and then smiles happily when his interview is interrupted to take Cheney's call. ... Full Review

Eugene Jarecki's rational and convincing advocative documentary Why We Fight returns to Eisenhower's address and tells us that the Eisenhower's feared militarized nation has come to pass. Why We Fight has some effective and persuasive material that either 'brings the issue home' or 'propagandizes', depending on one's point of view. ... Full Review

While this makes the flick more believable and realistic, it also highlights a problem with Fight : a lack of much new to say. Given the film's focus, I expected little from the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack of Why We Fight but instead found it to provide a surprisingly involving effort. ... Full Review

Unfortunately, the rest of Why We Fight sticks with fairly biased viewpoints. This is all well and good, but I cant say that it tells us anything new. ... Full Review
