Munich - wished I'd have watched it on satellite or rented it
Bought the DVD this past weekend instead and was hugely disappointed. Not a total loss but I was expecting more from Spielberg and it was way overrated in my opinion.

1. Overrated and too long, imo
I finally saw it yesterday.

I think other movies deserved a Best Picture nomination in place of "Munich."

2. Definitely too long with a crappy ending
I probably won't even be able to give the DVD away :(

3. The end was really, really weird, I agree
It just... ended.

5. I thought it was fantastic
First major movie I've seen coming anywhere near giving the Israeli/Palestinian issue fair treatment, which in and of itself is a landmark thing.

As far as length issues are concerned, it was entirely necessary for the movie to be that long. You wouldn't be able to understand the transformation of Bana's character unless you made it that gradual.

7. I thought it was fantastic as well
The most riveting film of 2005, to me.

6. It was decent enough. Definitely not one of Spielberg's best.
Eric Bana made up for any disappointment I may have had! :blush:
