...and I'll just give you a two word synopsis of this move.
Mankind sucks.
Ultimately, that's all "Munich" boils down to. There are no redeeming qualities in the plot. Nobody is noble, nobody is clean, nobody has character.
Do you want to spend two hours of your life watching people being murdered, one after the other? Are you unaware already that people behave atrociously, murderously, to others? Why do we need a movie like this to remind us of something we are reminded of on a daily basis? What exactly is the movie trying to teach us that we don't see in our own souls already?
I didn't even find any of the characters compelling. Not Avner, who turns out to be a pretty weak guy. His wife is stereotypical, and the scene where he cries upon speaking with his daughter maudlin.
Nor are the lesser roles fleshed out. We never really learn about Avner's team, who they were, what paths in their lives brought them to where they were...they are introduced flat out, a few words spoken of each and bzzzzt, that's it. Nor, with the exception of Dr. Hamshiri, are any of the quarries of the team made anything close to real human beings...they are just people to be offed.
I just can't see why people like this movie so much. It teaches nothing we don't, or at least shouldn't, already know...it can't be termed anything but a downer...I'm sure folks didn't walk out of the theatre HAPPY, the characters are cardboard, and the plot predictable.
Sometimes I think people rate films on reasons OTHER than the quality of the work. Israel has a lot of sympathizers in the United States, and any movie which puts her in the position of plucky (if brutal) underdog is always going to draw acclaim not for its quality as a filmwork, but rather because it offers a popular viewpoint. "Munich" is the example par excellence of this sort of reviewing.
