A black hole for Spielberg

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2012)

Steven Spielberg (in Munich) tells us the hate between Israel and the Arabs will never end...also....the hate between Israel and the Palastine people will never end. We all know that. He tells us that conflict is not a pretty thing. We all know that. He shows us that bullets kill people and bombs blow up...and are dangerous. We all know that. The movie Munich is like a black hole.....even time is destroyed. The film is too long...and not very interesting. Everything is so dark so very hopeless. We do however get a profound remark every 20 minutes or so...to keep the boredom at bay. The acting is O.K. but this is not Spielberg at his best. The plodding pace of Munich is (at times) excruciatingly tedious. Perhaps he should stick to action flicks like Jaws. Forget about the Jews ---for a while.
