He pieces the film together in such a way, that he creates suspense, injects a great deal of humor, and practically forces us to feel outrage. He makes it look effortless. Just prior to watching Sicko, I could... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429056429700 Tue, 6 May 2008 17:48:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429056429700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427155361412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dianelamiller - Sicko So you probably have heard how "documentarian" Michael Moore took a group of 9-11 survivors to Cuba for his new "documentary" (entitled Sicko) in a feeble attempt to show that socialism and communism makes for a better health care system or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427155361412 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:41:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427155361412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_413409447556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geezer-geek - At a time when many Americans use self-interest as a measure of whether they'll get involved in helping out "the tribe," Michale Moore stands on the hill and sounds the horn for common sense and revolution of compassionate, smart spending for US health... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413409447556 Sat, 5 Jan 2008 16:28:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_413409447556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412983594628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dystantme - Sicko is an entertaining and maddening look at how dysfunctional our health care system has become. Michael Moore, once again, uses his own style to make a documentary that people will actually want to watch (not an easy feat in America). Because this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412983594628 Wed, 2 Jan 2008 14:57:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412983594628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411262488196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pgrundy - I thought I knew what to expect when I went to see Sicko. I've seen all of Moore's movies, so I am familiar with his penchant for melodrama. Sometimes it works, sometimes it undermines his point. For example, the tone of Roger & Me was dead on, but I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411262488196 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:37:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411262488196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410447023748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lilgopeder - Watching Sicko will make you feel sorry for those who don't have health care and even more sorry for those that do. Michael Moore has done an excellent job at portraying the problems in our privatized health care system. This is a great movie for any... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410447023748 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:30:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410447023748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407429877380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author vicfar - Sicko finally makes it to Belgium&#133but Michael Moore&#146s new film has left the Flemish public yawning. Most likely because it told us what we already knew: the US is a jungle of a society where people are left to die on the street among the general... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407429877380 Fri, 9 Nov 2007 19:23:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407429877380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406506933892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author madmanc - This film opened in England yesterday - having recently seen Bowling for Columbine for the first time I was keen to see Moore's latest film. As a Brit I'm used to hearing the newspapers and politicians use our NHS as a political tool.

As a writer and former news broadcaster, even the sometimes silly way he presents things, never changed my level of support and belief in his work. I believe that Fahrenheit 9/11,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402662002308 Fri, 7 Sep 2007 19:51:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402662002308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400115863172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JiggyJay - You could&#146ve asked me years ago how I felt about Michael Moore and I would have been straight up brown nosing, but at this stage of my life I am a bit more standoff.

Americans have been told they live in a land of plenty.

That incendiary ragamuffin Michael Moore returns to the big screen, and this time, he focuses his attention on the (sorry) state of the U.S. health care system.

It's as if Tony... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~393477262980 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:36:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_393477262980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_393007959684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author muddaconch - Michael Moore has a great point in that the US should have free health care, and insurance companies are more harmful than helpful, but the whole documentary is circumstantial. He ties every clip into the next to have it make complete sense; however, he... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~393007959684 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:38:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_393007959684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_392877543044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bgreiner8 - I think many people are shying away from this film because they either saw or heard about Michael Moore's film tactics of the past. This film focused on the victims rather than only pointing fingers, which made for a much more honest documentary... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~392877543044 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:42:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_392877543044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_391779356292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bounty628 - Anyone that goes to the movie theaters to see a Michael Moore film knows what they are in for.

Even though I've agreed with the premise of each of his previous films, I realize that he rubs many people the wrong way. He's attacked the automotive industry, the NRA, and, of course, George... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~391685705348 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 01:16:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_391685705348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_390720097924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author boojah - If 'Sicko' can actually fall under the category of "documentary", then my belief that documentaries are valuable vehicles in discovering truth has been shaken to the core. I can no longer believe that Michael Moore cares at all about bringing truth to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~390720097924 Sat, 14 Jul 2007 01:09:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_390720097924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_387800010372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - Michael Moore is larger than life - and I'm not just talking about his waistline. No single figure - apart from Dubya, Hillary or Paris Hilton - conjures up such an immediate love-hate relationship. Maybe that's why Fahrenheit 9/11 did so well at the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~387800010372 Sun, 8 Jul 2007 04:22:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_387800010372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_387259469444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erkcuf - Michael Moore does a superb job of presenting the American Health care system and how screwed up it is as compared to other industrialized nations.
