Munich - Hollywood Playing with History?

[Uncle Spielberg]

I suppose if he put everything possible into the film it would have been 6 hours long.

Mark Kemode said its a good film but " War of the Worlds was better ", nowas it seems most of NSC thought WOTW's was utter shite I can hardly see them wanting to see Munich on the back of that comment

Personally, I enjoyed it. Seemed a fairly balanced piece and showed a nice cynical side to the previously frustrating Speilberg.

Films that deal with a bi-party issue and both sides are upset by it, must have something positive to offer.

Was better than I thought, 30 minutes of stuff not needed and missed out key events.

But less pishy than normal for a Spielberg historical effort.

That's pretty much how I felt. Not a bad film. Pretty good by Spielberg standards. Made a reasonable attempt to raise some valid questions (i.e. can some peoples' "eye for an eye" mentality be justified?), but let down by being farrrrr tooooooo longgggggg.

7/10, but he needs a better editor to tell hime when and where to cut - I suggest he asks Scorsese if he can borrow Thelma Schoonmaker next time.
