Pros: Bana is superb, deeply troubling story, strong story, great History lesson Cons: violent and almost too real
The 1972 Olympic Games were marred by a tragedy that has long remained a scar to not only Munich and Israel, but the world itself. During the games, a violent act of terrorism took place that ended in 11 members of the Israeli team being murdered. It ...
Pros: Brilliant story telling with great performances and directing Cons: A little long
Steven Spielburg is perhaps the most versatile director in American cinema history. He has provided pure entertainment in both the science fiction and swashbuckler genres (Close Encounters of the Third Kind; E.T.; Minority Report; War of the Worlds; ...
Pros: Well written, well acted, philosophical look at the attacks at the Munich Olympics Cons: None.
What is life like in the trenches of a world war? In World War I the trenches were dug and there were clear lines on the battle field. There were rules of engagement and rules of war. Even today, we still have the Geneva Convention that establishes ...
Pros: Graphic action, doesn't really take sides Cons: Too long, doesn't really take sides
Munich stars Eric Bana (Hulk) and Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) in a Steven Spielberg film about the 1972 Olympics Black September murders and the group of men secretly hired to kill the terrorist perpetrators of that attack. ...
Pros: Bana; Rush; Hinds; Kassovitz; film raises very important questions Cons: Incredibly intense and graphic violence; very long running time
On September 5, 1972, eleven Israeli athletes were brutally murdered at the Olympics in Munich, West Germany, by Palestinian terrorists who were part of group called Black September. They wanted to make a statement to the world. Make a statement they ...
Pros: Eric Bana's acting, Spielberg's directing, good script Cons: A few goofs (Jet Skis in 1972? Come on, now!)
Revenge is a dish that is best served cold. - Credited, apocryphally, to Pierre Choderlos de Laclos Background: On September 5, 1972, a team of eight Palestinian terrorists belonging to a Fatah-sponsored group called Black September ...
Pros: excellent script, amazing direction and cinematography, powerful performances Cons: doesn't know how to stop, so it just quits at minute 164
In America, September 11th is a day laden with somber memories, and has been since that day in 2001 when terrorists attacked our people, without a declaration of war, and without so much as a calling card. As confusion led to shock, and shock led to ...
Pros: Balance, depth of investigation, engaging, at times edge-of-the-seat Cons: Unnecessarily long, moral ambiguity hamfisted at times
For about thirty years, the overwhelming majority of films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture had two ingredients: each were based on an historical event or a biography, and they were between 145 to 195 minutes long. Mr. Spielberg had to be ...
Pros: Character development. Intermittently intense. Cons: Two ill-fitting scenes. Odd use of flashbacks. Simply could have been more.
Steven Spielberg's Munich is a return to the director's serious nature. Although the spy thriller subject matter is closer to Minority Report than Schindler's List, the tone is far more like Saving Private Ryan than ...
I’ll admit: this is a difficult review for me to write, partly because of relative unfamiliarity with the subject matter (Munich Olympics massacre and aftermath), partly because aspects of that very subject are still housed in debate. I hate not ...
Pros: Bana, Lonsdale, Hinds, Rush; moral ambivalence, suspenseful action, authentic re-creation of Seventies. Cons: Gratuitously violent a la ‘Saving Pvt Ryan’, strange later scene conflating sex and violence.
Has Steven Spielberg finally ditched the rose-coloured glasses and sentimental schlock and moved into more mature filmmaking? The indications seem to be positive on this point. In fact, ‘Munich’ might be Steven Spielberg’s best ...
WARNING: This review gives away certain details about the movie that you may not want to know. I won’t give away the ending, but if you want to come into the movie totally unaware of the details, then you might want to wait before you read this ...
Pros: Excellent performances and great direction make it a taut three hours! Cons: Moral equivocation---
In the first few minutes of this new Spielberg production, we see the Israeli Olympic athletes being taken hostage and brutalized by Palestinian terrorists, complete with what appears to be actual news footage reporting the events from the 1972 Olympics ...
Pros: tense political thriller based on a true story, great acting, important questions asked Cons: very little time given to the Palestinian perspective
BACKGROUND During the Summer Olympics of 1972, a group of Palestinians belonging to the Black September Group (a splinter group of the PLO) broke into the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany, and kidnapped 11 Israeli athletes. This act of ...
Pros: A fast paced thriller. Eric Bana Cons: maybe too long for some
Like some people who took in the movie Munich thought, I figured the movie would be entirely about the horrendous terrorist event that was perpetrated during the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Yes, the movie started out re-examining this atrocity ...
