Munich - didn't like it

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2006)

I just left Spielberg's Munich, and found it to be a waste of time. It was too long, too predictable and quite boring. Plots and subplots were just so much rehash of many other stories and styles. Very disappointing.
This certainly was not Spielberg's best work.
Acting was minimally acceptable, too many scenes were contrived and kept me from being swept into the film's characters and plots, which I deem the sign of a good work.
Despite the subject matter, I found a significant lack of political and social intensity. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
At least I got to see some beautiful European street scenes and architecture. For that I gave a score of 3/10. But this alone can't make up for a long and tedious time spent in an uncomfortable seat.
