Review of Munich (2005) by Seanp. — 07 Mar 2007

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.
