The movie is largely based on the public perception of George W. Bush (at least among the people who oppose or dislike him) as a man who was intellectually over matched by the demands of the Presidency and was manipulated into invading Iraq largely by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but it sounded intriguing and I always had a weak spot for Oliver Stone's work so I was really eager to check it out.

Whether you love him or hate him, there is no question that George W. Bush is one of the most controversial public figures in recent memory. In an unprecedented undertaking, acclaimed director Oliver Stone is bringing the life of our 43rd President to the big screen as only he can. W. takes viewers through Bush's eventful life and his struggles and triumphs, how he found both his wife and his faith, and of course the critical days leading up to Bush’s decision to invade Iraq.

"W. tells a fairly neutral story about George W. Bush, one of the most controversial presidents in US history, his rise to the presidency includes bits and pieces of coverage that feels familiar all the way through. There isn't much "new" interesting stuff to see, at least not for our YouTube-generation which has been enjoying watching Bush's cock-ups and controversies over and over again, and for all the intimate stuff - it doesn't get all that intimate (apart from a drunken quarrel that sees Du"
