Capitalism: A Love Story. I review it w/o having to watch it.

So it's official now. Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" bombed. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the flick has petered out at about 14 million. I don't know which is more ironic:
1) That Moore made an anti-capitalist movie the proceeds of which he fully intended to place in his well lined pockets...
OR
2) That his anti-capitalism movie bombed like Andrew Dice Clay at a Def Comedy Jam open mic night.
My review w/o watching the film: Some people will like this movie. Some people will not. Critics aren't going to tend to sway either group one way or another. I do offer a point for those who watch the film to consider should they choose to watch this film: Michael Moore has become very successful because he is free to "capitalize" on his talents in the very free-market system he so vigorously criticizes (and please note that he ain't giving his money away to anybody), so how long should he be taken seriously when he says the system that made him very rich is fundamentally flawed and should be abandoned by all new comers?
