    As a thriller, Munich is efficient, absorbing, effective. As an ethical argument, it is haunting.

    Masterful, atypically political - and flawlessly acted.

    Beautifully made pic will spur newsy media coverage and possible consternation on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide, but members of the general public will be glancing at their watches rather than having epiphanies about world peace.

    I'm very surprised this film didn't even make it to the 80s, especially with all the 100s it got from critics. But just consider this: it's very rare for Beraldinelli, Ebert, EW, and Empire to ALL give the same film a perfect score (it's hard for Beraldinelli and Empire to give a 100, period). Just this fact alone managed to make me ignore the rest of the critics who brought the film down to 74, and I watched it in the theaters anyway (something i usually only reserve for 75+ films). And yes, I agreed with all those 100s. It's one of Spielberg's best films, and that's saying a lot. You just need to be patient with it, not like, say, Jurassic Park.… Expand

    Pedantic. A modest 90 minute tale crammed in to 160 minutes.

    pretentious, way too long, pointless like the killing in the movie - in short: a typical spielberg.
