I finally saw Hotel Rwanda and I thought it was good, not great, and not terrible. I agree that you didn't get the FULL horror of the genocide but I think there certainly was a sufficient amount of brutality to get what occurred across; scenes like the one on the foggy road were very disturbing.
What annoyed me more than any problems I had with the movie was the level of pretension in some comments I read (this one not excluded). Where are the, "the scene where Don Cheadle is shirtless was hot" posts? Instead, I just see people writing "I am better than everyone because I know what REALLY happened" under the veil of a leading questions like, "I liked the movie a lot BUT I would like people to share their thoughts on if the film's distortion of reality was justifiable in that it led to the ends of greater mass appeal?" Hmmmm.
