Review: W.

Er...excellent review though.

See, now I'm all angried up just thinking about Bush. I can hear that "hyuck-hyuck-hyuck" laugh, that wanker smirk and his faltering, stammering manglespeak.
You wouldn't let a spakker like Bush hand out flyers in the street, I can't believe an entire nation let him steal an election, invade a soveriegn nation, drive the economy into the toilet, allow hundreds of people to die in the New Orleans flood and let his cronies parcel out contracts to "rebuild" Iraq under the guise of "Free Trade Agreements" with the IMF's help.

Sorry, going on a rant now. This is a movie site.
Nice review,dull film about a pig-eyed shitwhistle of a man-child

Similarly, I love Oliver Stone and think his earlier films are some of the most exciting maverick films to emerge from Hollywood. And I can't believe he's made such a defanged, sedate movie about one of the stupidest and most dangerous mongoloids to ever be allowed free of his toddler reins.
It lacks the passion and outrage of his earlier films - JFK, Wall St, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, Talk Radio - these are all films with something to say and they all but pound their fist onto the table to make their point.
W. seems to be "Yeah but hey, it's not his fault" shrug of a movie as opposed to a raised voice of anger I expect from Stone.
Excellent performance from Brolin but wasted in this Lifestyle Channel movie-of-the-week sigh of "meh"

Fuck George W Bush, fuck him and his smirking idiocy that almost brought the planet to the brink.

I'll be honest, this looks like being woefully misjudged from the outset. Brolin might do a good impression, but it's impossible to ask an audience to buy him as President when Bush himself is STILL IN OFFICE.

I can't believe that Oliver Stone - the man who Washington used to be scared of - has made two films about the Bush administration (this and WTC) and barely touched the hot-button issues that are really interesting. Frankly, I don't give a shit about his early years - fascinating though I'm sure they are, they kind of pale into insignificance when you consider he basically stole an election, illegally invaded and decimated an entire country and made the rest of the World hate his country.

But hey, look - he was a drunk! But he came good! And he had daddy issues!

Pass. Sometime in the future, someone with balls will make a proper Bush movie that shows him up to be the brain-dead, war-mongering little baboon that he is.
