It really is pathetic.
As far as Spielberg goes, he has blown all the goodwill and credibility he built with Shindler's List and Saving Private Ryan with this horrible Munich movie. He goes overboard trying to draw a moral equivalent between the cold blooded murder of 11 Israeli athletes and bringing to justice the same murderers by the Mossad.
I'm afraid you could be right about the Oscars. Ebert gave BM 4 stars while 'Narnia' only got 3.
The movie sounds totally disgusting. You can read the review at:
