Munich was very well done, there's no question about it. Now, the enjoyment of this film depends on what genre you like. For me, it was well done, the acting was good, it was a good film in general, but I'm not a big fan of the kill the terrorist type movies. Although, I must say, the movie didn't have a good guy, bad guy. It pretty much just showed events happening and you were left to decide who was "good" or not. It's very unbiased. I liked that part of the film and I liked the whole...self discovery type, theme, sort of. Anyways, if you're into a thinking, kind of action type film. I think you'll like this. Especially if you were around/know a lot about the Munic Massacre, I think you'd appreciate it. Ya, like I said, in general, it's a good film, but I didn't find it absolutley spectacular, or anything like that. I say, rent it, at least. It's a good watch and it is very well done, the acting is good, there is sentimentalism. It's a good film. It didn't get a great rating from me because, it didn't touch me and only ones that really touch me get good ratings. But it's good, Spielberg did a wonderful job.
6/10
Sidenote: What I do absolutley adore, is the poster. I love that poster (above) and once you watch the film, you'll really get an understanding for it. The emotion from that poster (and movie) just emitts itself from it. It was nicely done.
Sincerly,
