It exceeded my expectations. From the trailers I was afraid it would be mere fluff, Ben Stein parading around in Terminator garb pretending to be a modern hero while erecting straw man arguments and ceremoniously destroying them. I am happy to report that this is not the case; that the creators have allowed those of opposing views to speak and explain themselves as well as giving their own interpretations. The result is certainly not totally balanced - it is a persuasive documentary and there are a couple of (mostly funny) cheapshots that make it more fun to watch. However, generally it's very straight-forward and follows the claims and inquiries where they lead. The conversation with Richard Dawkins is a particularly enjoyable segment. In short: expelled is the junk and I think everyone ought to see it.
