the movie took itself way too seriously and they way they went about comparing it to our world today was just too extreme and in your face.
it was a fun movie but would never deserve a second viewing.
i find it caters towards those who want to watch a smart movie but dont plan on thinking too hard.
so they throw together a movie which contains some sort of intelligent premise.. but then they dum it down so that it caters to even the most level headed viewer.
just my two cents..

Don't think of it as anti-Bush propaganda--that's just reading too much into it. Wishful thinking by a bunch of leftist Bush-haters. The totalitarian regime in the film is far closer to what happens in the average Muslim nation (just reversed with hypothetical 'Christian' radicals in power) than anything in the modern day west.
Just think of it as an action flick with a side-dish of 'nature of tyranny' talk. IE, Tyranny begins with the individual submitting to it. It's a lesson I think Iraq sorely needs to learn lest the nutjobs completely take over the country.
