The movie Expelled (which I saw yesterday), while highly entertaining and making some very important points, does not (rightly or wrongly remains to be seen) go into the intellectual case for intelligent design. The movie is instead more focused on the issue of academic freedom and the right not to have your scientific career derailed by bullying ideologues, ideologues who don't know remotely as much as they claim to know.
I just ran across this collection of quotes by IDists, which serve to add a bit more philosophical/scientific heft to the issues raised by the movie.
My intuition is that the Darwinist ideologues will become even more intransigent after the release of this movie. At some point, in their arrogance and increasingly aroused fury, they will go too far, and the scales will tip against them.
