Mr. Spielberg disappoints again

Rating: 2/10 (28 March 2006)

This movie continues the trend of mediocre or outright weak movies by Mr. Spielberg that started IMHO with "Minority Report". "Munich" has quite a few technical flaws that leave an impression that the story was too big for a director to handle. Also, there were a few instances (may be more than a few, but I'm not a historian) when actual facts have been manipulated to fit the story. This is particularly wrong when author positions himself as an "independent" and "not taking sides". The acting was very good though, Bana has done a brilliant work. Unfortunately, bright acting with poor directing doesn't leave much better impression than bad acting itself. All in all, in recent years Mr. Spielberg has been far more successful producing rather than directing.
