MacCheese

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2006)

Although I admire Eric Bana and think he made a great interpretation of his role in this move, I can't help but categorize this movie as kitsch.
Spielberg should stay away from making movies about serious matters and movies that have something to do with Jews. He made Schildler's List into a pastiche. If I hadn't known Spielberg was a Jew himself I'd thought the movie to be a mockery of the Holocaust.
In the same way this movie, that is about national pride, revenge and assassinations of a bunch of bad guys, sucks.
When watching it I don't care how it goes for the "heroes". They seem no better than the crooks. One of the "good" guys says "I only care about Jewish blood". Seems like both sides follow the same rule: You kill our people, we'll kill yours. Both hate each other. So why should I as a viewer take sides? After Kingdom of Heaven this was the worst movie I've seen in a long while. Spielberg should instead of these "heavy" themes make movies a la Austin Powers and Harry Potter.
What a greasy MacCheese is to food, Spielberg is to movies.
