(Here is my review of Munich, I also left the introduction from the original post)

I watched Munich right after I watched Babel. Well actually that isn't true. I found a DVD of Spiderman 3 lying around which I had never watched so I thought I might as well watch that (As I had stopped watching it the first time around out of boredom) and the same thing happened this time too. This isn't just because it is a Spiderman movie, as I had watched the first two and I rather enjoyed them. Thus I have come to the conclusion that Spiderman 3 is inferior to the first two movies. I think I may struggle through it so that I can give you guys a review of something I don't like for a change.

Anyway, now that we have that out of the way, let us read the review of Munich shall we?

Movie Review: Munich

Munich was directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Tony Kushner and Eric Roth. Surprisingly it was actually not quite as well received as you might think (considering that it is a Spielberg directed film) Many critics disliked the movie and also pointed out it's historical inaccuracies. Spielberg has noted that the first half of the movie depicting the Munich Massacre is accurate, while the second half is more like historical fiction. The second half is however based on the real Israeli operation known as "Operation Wrath of God". So you won't want to be using this film to brush up on your modern European history that's for sure.

The movie revolves around the Munich massacre. Actually to be more precise it revolves around the Israeli government's operations to assassinate top members of the terrorist organization Black September who orchestrated the Munich massacre. The main character, Avner, is an "Un-associated" member of the Mossad, Israel's equivalent to the CIA. He and a team assembled for him by the Mossad set out to find and kill 11 targets, all of them said to be high ranking members of Black September.

First off let us start with the acting, which is very good. Especially that of the main character Avner, portrayed by actor Eric Bana. The character is going through a lot, and this shows through in the actor's performance. Also in the film is Daniel Craig (Who played James Bond in Casino Royale).

Technical aspects of the film are also good, and there is really not much else to say.

Music is very good, capturing the feeling well. Such is to be expected from a Spielberg movie.

Dialogue is good in my opinion, sounding quite believable and realistic. Especially conversations involving Carl, who was my favorite character somehow.

Anyway, I don't have much more to say. Although it didn't get the best response from critics when it was released, I still think it is a very good movie that certainly should not be missed!

4/5
