C'mon do we have to be political with this? I mean I too am a big critic of Bush, but I'm sure as hell not celebrating Obama's inauguration.

Um, this releases in FEB. Obama's inauguration is in Jan. Unless it carries over to FEB, that's a helluva party!

Not before I rent the DVD first. I respect Oliver Stone's work but somehow this movie looks like a slam job. We'll see.

please keep politics out of this. your breaking the websites rules remember.

"Just in time for Obama's Inauguration, Lionsgate will release Oliver Stones "W." on blu" would have been much better.

this movie was alot better than I expected. Josh Brolin does a very good job. Also, political views aside it really does not make Bush look extremely bad. It almost makes you sympathetic towards him in ways. I thought it was good and could end up purchasing this for the right price

yeah, see i wasn't expecting that. I thought it was just going to slam him. I didn't head in with high expectations due to that. Came out surprised when it ended up not bringing him down totally

Sympathetic towards him?? Fuck if I'll see then. Glad I didn't see it in the theaters.

It still paints him as a total dumbass and pretty much makes villains out of many of his cohorts (Cheney mostly!), so you might get some enjoyment out of it if that's what you're looking for. It's pretty good, if uneven and incomplete feeling. Brolin is amazing.

Pass on what I feel will be a hatchet job of a movie.
