Has anyone seen it or is planning to see it.  If you seen it.  What did you think?  I have not seen it, but I want to see it.

Ehhh, I can wait for this one to come out on DVD. I went to see Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? instead.  It had it's moments (like the one Middle Easterner sensibly recommending their separation of church & state. Yeah, that's gonna happen), but it's nowhere near as good as Supersize Me, or the best Michael Moore flicks. Spurlock comes across as Moore's nicer, handsomer counterpart, but in the end, he's just not as incisive or entertaining. I did like the ending. Somehow I just don't see Michael Moore in a birthing bath with his wife, sharing a beautiful natural childbirth...

If you're serious, then ALL copies of this movie should be burned for potential permanent retina damage. 

I'd never heard of it so I checked out the IMDB page. Oh, I get it "No Intelligence Allowed" as in no intelligent design, and also no intelligent people in the movie. 

The featured reviewer gives it one star:

"Author: Geoff_n from United Kingdom

 

The New York Times summed this film up accurately:

One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.

"Expelled" is an unprincipled propaganda piece that insults believers and nonbelievers alike. In its fudging, eliding and refusal to define terms, the movie proves that the only expulsion here is of reason itself.

None of the supposedly "expelled" scientists were, in fact, expelled; their true stories can be found very easily by the briefest Google search.

The clumsy attempt to link atheism to the Holocaust is downright evil, and an unforgivable slur on the people who lost their lives in that event. "

Yoko Ono is apparently suing the producers because of their unlicensed use of Imagine.

So, rainbow you are saying that you only support free speech as long as the free speech agrees with you.  And that people are intelligent as long as they agree with you.  I don't trust movie reviewers anymore, because they seem to have a hatred toward anything positive with faith or Christianity.  Every once in awhile they will give a movie like the Apostle or Chariots Of Fire a good review but it is rare.

 

I have not seen Expelled yet.  I did see Iron Man this week.  I enjoyed it, but again I think it is getting many of the positive reviews because of it's stance on war.  And I think the last Spider Man got so many bad reviews because the Spider Man movies seems to be positive when it comes to faith and forgiveness.
