Many industry experts questioned whether moviegoers are ready for films about the disaster which is still fresh and painful in the minds of many Americans.

What an absolute bogus, anti-war, horsecrap argument.

Well they could not have timed the release better with a crystal ball.

Not a single word in the article about Oliver Stone and the controversy he brings to any film.

My 9 and 10 year old daughters want to see this.

I am taking them. They are not too young to see what they will have the rest of their lifetime to fight.

I keep hearing the film is surprisingly accurate about Sept 11. But then others say there is no mention of Islam executing the terror.

So how good can this film be?

My wife and I saw the film on Thursday--It was very moving and for Stone very fair and non-political1. Maybe a tad long but I would highly recommend it . It might re-awake some Libs into reality!

Where are the sensitive people who were complaining about Flight 93 being too soon?

Now it's OK for Stone to make money off of 9/11? Ok.

The Democrat Party "hates" this type of film. It brings out patriotism in the general public and that means more Republican votes!

I intend to see this tomorrow. The last time I went to the theater was to see "The Passion of the Christ." What the Liberal "media" means by "too soon" is that the movie has been released before the DemocRATS have regained their power and control of our wallets and pocketbooks.

From what I understand this movie is not about the hijackings - it is about the cops - in fact I have read that the esteemed Mr. Stone gives little to no mention of the Islamic Terrorists who killed 3000 people - I can wait for video thanks - and maybe not even then.

I saw it tonight, and it's a touching disaster movie, that's about it. I'd give it a "B-". It could have been about two people trapped in earthquake rubble. No mention of who did it but "terrorists", whoever they are. If it was supposed to be about two people trapped in the rubble of a terrorist attack without getting into who did it, then why did it have to be about 9/11 at all? I'd recommend a matinee, I guess.

Went to see the movie last night. Very well done. Kudos to Stone for getting it right.
