IMDb commenters are dead wrong - not a masterpiece

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2005)

Masterpiece? I keep hearing masterpiece? who are you people? I bet you you list National Lampoon's European Vacation as one of your ten favorites. When will you people start accepting the fact that Spielberg is not infallible? Yes, Schindler's list was superb. That was a masterpiece. Munich, on the other hand, was a complete failure. If you can't see this, then you can't see this, and obviously you need to continue watching more movies to hone your skills.
The 70s are amazingly accurate; visually the film is great, of course. However, Spielberg approaches a serious subject with sophomoric nonchalance; we know he wants to tell us that it was all futile, all the killings, but we're not convinced. and that sex scene, where the final bloody moments at the airport unravel, is intolerable it is so bad. Spielberg screwed up prodigiously when he included that scene; Bana is having sex with his wife and suddenly the images, away long enough to enjoy a moment of bliss, suddenly reappear at the most crucial moment in coitus and Spielberg, his mind rotten by years of fat living and too much success, perhaps, crosses the wires between sexual climax and men unloading their Uzi's on each other. If one puts Schindler's List aside--an obvious success of a movie--you wonder if this asshole (and he is a asshole for mishandling a subject which he, as a Jew, should have treated properly) shouldn't just concern himself with pg-13 subject matter.
one last thing: I don't know who played Golda Meir; this might have just been her, that's how accurate it was. I was blown away.
