To begin with I must say that I loved Michael Moore post-2005 documentaries "Sicko", "Capitalism: A Love Story" and "Where to invade next", all three are great, powerful and whether you're a democrat or a republican the ideas told in these are bound to make you pause and think. At the opposite I didn't like at all his 2004 George W. Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11", I don't understand at all all the undeserved hype around that documentary since it was obviously quite empty, not well done, boring and there was nothing new in it that wasn't already available in the newspaper or TV News. I did go see "Fahrenheit 11/9" at a theatre and strangely I didn't have high expectations for this sequel, as if I knew nothing more could be said about Donald Trump. This documentary is essentially divided in about three parts; at first they talk about Donald Trump's presidential campaign, nothing unheard of here, then there's a part about the 2015 water scandal in Flint, Michigan where we see what appear to be mega-****bag the crooked governor Rick Snyder purposedly ruining the water supply of the city then organizing a cover-up, then the third part is about the West-Virginia teachers strike, who stopped working because they had low wages and Governor Jim Justice wanted to have them wear Fitbit wristwatches at all time to control how much exercise they were doing... There's nothing in this movie regarding Trump before his presidential campaign, Michael Moore have a great research staff so at least they could have shown us some interesting biographical tidbits about Trump that could have helped us make a opinion about the true him, instead they spent time comparing Trump and Hitler which is unfair and not very insightful...Overall this documentary is empty, uninsightful, boring and there's nothing new in it... There's only about 4 or 5 really powerful moments in the whole documentary, a much more powerful documentary could have been made regarding incompetent Barack Obamas's presidency and how he failed miserably to deliver what he promised...
