Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

gugan94 This movie is based on an incident which happened in the Munich Olympics where Israeli-an athletes were killed by the Black September organization. For taking revenge against the terrorist organization Israel organizes a group of 5 people and then takes a revenge on them.There are some dialogues which support the Palestinians not making them as strong villains. In the group of 5 people each one are from different profession and how will they take revenge on them is the rest of the story.This movie story is simple but lots of complications will be going through it because the person who gives details of the terrorists will be susceptible in nature. The movie has really some strong dialogues and the scenes were real. As the movie is based on true events we will be astonished to know that these are the kind of things which are happening in the real world. No need to tell about Steven Spielberg, the master of film making. This movie is a good movie but a bit lengthy because of the running time.

Parker Lewis Eric Bana (real name Eric Banadinović) and Geoffrey Rush headline this emotional and gripping feature from Steven "E.T." Spielberg. Eric started his career in Australia as a comedian, and Geoffrey was a dramatic actor before hitting it big with Shine. All credit to the production team for recreating the 70s look in this drama, based on real events it must be said. It seemed no expense was spared in getting the 70s look. I wonder though if Munich was a German production (it would be called München) what tone it would take.Daniel Craig (pre-Bond) is a standout in this compelling movie, and it's as though Munich primed Mr Craig to be 007, who wouldn't be afraid to go to Tripoli to achieve his goals on behalf of the Government.Sure there are a duplicity of complex moral issues in Munich (Germans know it as München). Interestingly, the title of the movie, the name of the city that hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics resonates to the point that the title of the movie is just that, Munich, not something like a verb.The end scene where Avner (Eric Bana) has sex with his wife, intercut with scenes of the gruesome deaths of the Israeli hostages on the Munich air strip at the hands of the terrorists, was I'm afraid ludicrous and tacky in my humble opinion. I'm surprised no- one exercised any veto on this. I mean really, it would be akin to John and Laura being the beast with two backs in Don't Look Now, intercut with whatever gruesome occurs in the movie, or Nick Curran banging Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct, intercut with scenes of Johnny Boz being ice-picked to death. I can only wonder what the relatives of the Israeli hostages thought when they saw this scene.

marieinkpen I have just watched this after watching One Day in September. Munich's primary way of identifying Jews is to have them say Mazeltov a lot. I found the whole film confusing - I had no idea who was on whose side and what the hell was going on beyond a lot of shooting and remote controlled bombs. Great if you like that sort of thing. Occasional interesting bits of dialogue - such as the importance of home for a nation - hidden among all the violence and sentimentality and an irritatingly self-conscious portrayal of Golda Meir. But everyone is pretty much as bad as everyone else and the film is a great proof of the saying "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".

TheSeaLion Steven Spielberg has made a lot of good historical dramas in his career. "Bridge of Spies" and "Saving Private Ryan" were both excellent, and "Schindler's List" is the best movie I've ever seen. I was looking forward to watching this movie, but unfortunately I was let down."Munich" follows a group of Israelis who are tasked with hunting down and killing the terrorists of Black September who were responsible for the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Olympic Games.To make a historical drama good, you need one of two things. You either need an interesting historical figure to base the movie around, or you need an interesting historical event that's on-screen progression will enthrall people. "Bridge of Spies" and "Schindler's List" had both of these elements. "Munich" has neither.The characters in the movie are all interchangeable with one another and have no real personality. The five members of Eric Bana's team are all the same person, except they each have a different skill.The historical story chosen doesn't have anything of interest happening in it either. It is just a typical revenge story. Even more detrimental, it does not feel like there is a satisfactory conclusion to the story. It just isn't a very interesting piece of history to make into a three hour long movie. A better piece of history to focus on would have been the actual Munich massacre instead of the aftermath.While this is a bad historical drama, I can not say in good conscious that is a bad movie. The movie is well written, well shot, well acted, and well directed for the most part. There is one scene where the way it was put together was confusing. The only technical aspect that was bad was the lighting, as every scene was saturated with light and looked ugly.There are a lot of good historical dramas out there, and a lot of good ones made by Steven Spielberg. This is not one of them.
