Pointless, one-dimensional and sentimental

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2006)

I found this film to be an attempt to intellectualise revenge, and the role of one man within the cogs of the vengeful machine (might he just crack up, whaddyathink?!). Kill Bill was much the same, but that at least had panache and great direction!! If Munich is 'based on true events' as it says, then it needs to do a whole lot more justice to BOTH sides of this particular tale. It seems to me to be a film which, although it fails to thoroughly glorify Mossad, it certainly allows them a fair share of understanding. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are merely 'terrorists' - very simplistic.
Sadly, I was really disappointed by Spielberg's take on this subject.
