   Is W a good movie?

   • In the end, W. makes up in immediacy what it lacks in objectivity. There are no user reviews yet. Passably interesting, occasionally riveting and largely superfluous. But it's certainly a worthwhile curiosity, and it's not what anyone expected. At the movies these days, that alone is worth something.

   Is 'W' a good biopic?

   • In spite of Josh Brolin's heroic efforts, W. is a skin-deep biopic that revels in its antic shallowness. Disappointing. Stone whipped this out in time for the US Presidential election, but it’s hard to see how it’ll make any significant impact on voters. Or why it even should.

   Is 'W' a take-no-prisoners movie?

   • In the movie W., Oliver Stone offers a fictionalized portrait of George W. Bush. And if you've seen the trailers — with the elder George Bush chastising a rowdy frat-boy Dubya for conduct unbecoming — you might well be expecting a take-no-prisoners comedy. "Partying, chasing tail, driving drunk," says Bush senior.

   Is the director focusing on personality flaws a little off-point?

   • But we're awfully close to the real events in W., still feeling the effects of this presidency, still seeing these people on the news each night. So the director's concentration on personality flaws feels a little off-point somehow — insufficient, almost frivolous.
