bhostetle It's a don't-see for any New Yorker. It helps us re-focus on what went on over the past two decades and clarifies just how the life blood of the city has been sucked out of it by the vampire, the homeless. Giuliani saved, SAVED and restored the city, removing as much trash as he could. One woman as the audacity to say she had a third grade education, and instead of giving her a free education, they gave her a job...HOW DARE THEY. Now Disneyfied, city Gotham has turned into a safe place for locals and tourists alike. Celebrations are thankfully staged police-managed barricaded photo-ops where we no longer fear for our own lives, and the people surrounding us are not all selling crack. New Yorkers can finally have a good time. This documentary fails to make us care about the immigrants who don't feel like US citizens...immigrants, you don't say? We see how the homeless have been placed in shelters in outer boroughs, thankfully given a place to stay, yet keeping their smell away, and they are complaining, no humans have ever been so ungrateful. We see how artists are removed from the streets, allowing normal citizens to walk the streets and not be badgered. If you are one of those who has been blinded by how much better the city is, you need to see this, you will hate the whiners as they get arrested and the homeless complain about being given jobs. If it doesn't make you thankful for what Giuliani has done, then you are lost.

theseanman This is essentially a "Hit-Piece" on Giuliani from the Michael Moore school of documentary film-making. It is so virulent and one sided that the viewer can only be led to think that the creators of this movie hold a serious grudge against the former Mayor. At the end of the day, one need only look to see that he left New York a better city than the one he inherited from his predecessor. Granted, some hard choices were made and if you want to single those things out for examples of his failures then you must also admit to his victories otherwise your message will be obscured by its obvious bias. Merely assembling a collection of sound bites, news clips and assembling them creatively in the editing room does not fool anyone, only those moronic enough to take this drivel at face value. Rudy did a good job. Not a great job, as I'm sure even he will agree. It's suggested here that 9/11 and it's aftermath saved Giuliani - I disagree. He would have been counted among New York's finest Mayors even if 9/11 never happened. But how he reacted to that dreadful event showed the world what "Courage under fire" really means.

mcdersa Giuliani Time is a must see for anyone who wants to have a deeper image of Giuliani than his heroic, Times person of the year image. This movie exposes the racist and oppressive effects of Giuliani's political machine on the city of New York. Giuliani Time uncovers astonishing truths that will shock both veteran New Yorkers and people who only know Giuliani as the hero of 9/11. I personally Love this film and thought it was very well done. It is obvious that countless thought, work, and research went into this intriguing, informative, and entertaining film. Giuliani Time is a top quality political documentary that everyone should see!

Spuzzlightyear Giuliani Time is an interesting, if somewhat overlong, movie that exposes Rudolph Giuliani's record on a number of issues while he was Mayor of New York and before of course, he became the patriarchal saint leading New York out of September 11th. Narrated mostly by a newspaper editor who seems to have a BIG bone to pick with him, Giuliani Time focuses on his drive to clean up New York City, tone down crime, and other things, well, that you would expect a mayor to do. Somehow, and here's a surprise here, some corruption and social injustice happens! Ohhhh nasty stuff here! Really, imho, this film almost makes a mountain out of molehill, by exposing some dirt that hardly seems dirty. Yes, his father was a Mafioso type of person. Giuliani even admits that in the film! But if you're looking for stuff like he ate-his-first-born, (he didn't by the way) then you're bound to be disappointed. To be honest, I actually enjoyed this film, you could say, for all the wrong reasons. I looked into this film more as a glimpse into a city in transition over anything else. Although some people mourn the loss of the seedier underbelly of Times Square in New York (it's still there, just not in Times Square), I found it was needed for the changing times. This film shows what had to be done.
