I have researched this on my own and it is obvious that this is NOT a documentary. I think that is the main issue. I think most of the reviewers of the movie found it to be entertaining, and while there is nothing wrong in making a documentary entertaining, when you bend, twist, and spin the truth (and sometimes outright lie) you have now gone into the realm of fiction, even if it was initially based off of fact. I've read the rebutal posted earlier. The author had some good points. Alot of people seem to have something against Moore personally, but to be honest, the more I research him, the more I start to dislike him. I mean the author of the rebutal states that Moore will guide the viewer to get his point across, but that's exactly what you shouldn't do in a documentary. I could go on and on but I think you should just research it for yourself and make up your own mind. The internet has changed the world. Everything you ever wanted to know at your fingertips. All you have to do is look.
