Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
merelyaninnuendo MunichAnother one of Speilberg's factual feature where the audience feels like encountering series of news and information delivered to them for more than 160 minutes with few high pitched dramatic and action sequences installed to hold the audience in this overlong journey. Steven Speilberg delivers without a doubt some good drama and dinner table conversations that speaks a lot about the character's bonding than the journey itself does. Eric Bana is convincingly good (especially the first time when he talks to his daughter on phone) and is supported with a great cast like Daniel Craig and Ciaran Hinds. Munich is an essential one but certainly isn't an entertaining one for the timeline and the subjective part of it overpowers the drama and the characters involved in it.
cinemajesty Film Review: "Munich" (2005)Based on the book "Vengeance" by writer/historian George Jonas (1935-2016), published in 1984 on subjectively-as-professionally-researched circumstances of 20th Olympic Summer Games Assassinations of Israeli sports men in the year 1972 in Munich (Bavaria, Germany), comes this cold-blooded thriller unusual as uncompressed directed by Steven Spielberg, who realizes an utmost-structured screenplay by playwright Tony Kushner and dramatically-polished by screenwriter Eric Roth in order to miss-out in full circle motion picture satisfactions in favor of strangleholding audiences.The Universal Pictures / DreamWorks Pictures LLC film distributes in late release after months of production in holiday season 2005/2006, when cinematic landscape took turns to a majority of daring films in terms of the human condition ranging from homosexuality in "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Ang Lee to late recognitions on authority misconducts in "Crash" directed by Paul Haggis, when "Munich" had to had been dealing with killings, loss and consequences on the human condition, when nevertheless the picture also-received nominations for Best Picture and Best Director among five nominated categories in total at the 78th Academy Award Ceremony in March 2006 in Los Angeles, California; where fulminate sound design by industrial legend Ben Burtt got overstepped in favors of an highly-accomplished, yet tiring 160-Minute-editorial due to following up to 10 assassinations with bullets, handmade-bombs and no-close-range knife combat-given,by Spielberg's homestead-editor of trust Michael Kahn, who interweaves three flashbacks on the thematic 1972 Olympia assassinations, when leading actor Eric Bana as the character Avner, gets put on a train of restraint emotions by his director, where only a seven and a half minute center scene at running time 1h 17mins 30sec accompanying supporting cast Mathieu Almaric and Michael Lonsdale as spy game enterprising couple of father and son share the some light of a better world in a throughout pessimistic, ultra-darkly-received action thriller.The left-alone sentiments by leading character's Brooklyn-bound wife Daphna, portrayed by naturalistic as seemingly-sympathetic actress Ayelet Zurer, can hardly save this one-way-street motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg, when production company DreamWorks Pictures LLC puts its last effort in coming to terms with Hollywood Major Universal Studios after neglecting unless fortunate studio beginnings with "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" in 1997; concluding in the "Munich" film's memorable cross-cutting, climactic montage of 3 minutes, portraying never seen before visual relations between the sexual act of male on female in relations to acts of violence.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Rohan Muralidhar I watched this movie today and i was deeply traumatized after what happened to those innocent Israeli athletes who were brutally slaughtered and the German authorities failed to save them, the best part i liked in this movie was the thrilling factor which gave me goosebumps while watching. i can somehow relate it to an Indian's point of view as India also has enemies who masterminded the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts and the gruesome carnage which paralyzed Mumbai for 3 days are still on the run. This movie is a must watch for every Indian soldier who has the desire to serve and die for the country. The violent scenes could have been toned down a bit but otherwise it is still outstanding.
Python Hyena Munich (2005): Dir: Steven Spielberg / Cast: Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Geoffrey Rush, Marie-Josee Croze, Ciaran Hinds: Place and time regards the aftermath of the 1972 murders of 11 Israeli athletes and the squad sent to terminate those responsible. Director Steven Spielberg succeeds in realism with a powerful setup then it becomes repetitious as the team tracks and kills its targets with various bomb devices. One flaw is its inability to involve viewers. That is not usually the case with a director such as Spielberg but this is not a high point in his career. Basically, this is no Schindler's List. Eric Bana leads the mission but the role is one note until the second half of the film where he examines the vengeance and the paranoia overlooking his life. In supporting roles are Geoffrey Rush and Daniel Craig as well as Marie-Josee Croze who are at the mercy of characters that never seem to come to life. Their roles are more observed than developed and that is a major drawback. This is unfortunate considering the talent in front and behind the camera involved and how flat the material becomes. Strong theme regarding revenge and whether it is warranted. Spielberg doesn't applaud revenge so much as address its madness and whether or not it actually resolves. The film is technically well made showcasing European photography but for Spielberg it is secondary to his masterpieces. Score: 5 / 10
