I have seen all of Moore's movies and for the most part, they are pretty good.
The only part of BFC that I didn't like was the end when he harassed Charlie Heston. Charlie is a confused old man suffering from Alzheimers. He shouldn't have done that.
For me, the biggest prick in BFC was Dick Clark. Now he looked like more of an asshole than Heston even came close to.
Still for me, Roger and Me remains Moore's best work to date. It's funny though that he never really found himself within the sights of the neo-cons in the USA until he did BFC and took on America's fascination with guns. (Even moore was a life long member of the NRA.)
I look forward to his new movie and I am sure that there are going to be some thorny issues raised. Not the least of which will be how on 912 the only planes allowed in the air were carrying Saudi nationals out of the USA back home, and just what was said in those blacked out pages of the 911 report.
The bottom line is that 15 of 19 911 terrorists were Saudis, yet nothing happens to Saudi Arabia or the House of Saud. It's really quite unreal to watch.
