You really didn't MISS anything by not seeing War of the Worlds. Its dumb on so many levels.
I was 10 years old in 1972 when the Olympics was on. I lost my innocence then and have hated Arafat and all terorists ever since.
I despise any attempts to humanize the terrorist trash killing innocent people.
It ain't going nowhere. This one will bomb. PC stinking history to the max. Some of us were following the events as they happened. To turn that historic tragedy into a nihilistic pile of psycho-babble is criminal. I hope it sinks with the gay cowboys.
Well, I hope you are aware of the true story and will be able to recognize how erroneous this film is.
I can take care of myself thank you. I don't need anybody else to 'show me the true way'.
I'm not sure what your attitude is about. But you're on my nada list as of now.
It's a crummy movie. Even his mama said it stunk. Moe Larry and Curly walked out. Jackie Mason heaved. No way will I put money in Stevie's pocket to confirm it's absurd. The action is better on SpikeTV with lots of James Bond back to back
If you look at the cold war, though, you can see where in many ways the West was too lenient in allowing the Soviet Union to have moral equivalency in various talks and agreements. Ronald Reagan didn't buy it. Thank G-d he didn't.
If, and that's a HUGE if, bin Laden had any kind of "valid point" before he sent the planes into the buildings, it was too hideous an act to be given any kind of moral equivalency. Terrorism should never be a call for more talks.
Excellent analogy to explain why the line(s) didn't upset YOU. I like it. However (and I admit to not having seen the film), my anger at what you report comes from the fact that Spielberg had a chance right after that line to tell the actual TRUTH to not just the foolish terrorist, but to most of the world's citizens, who at best think Israel is equivalent to the Palestinian terrorists and at worst think Jews are a major problem in the world today. Spielberg made things worse for us. Europe and liberal America already are no friends to Israel. It breaks my heart and disappoints me.
Oh no! Not the nada list!
That's ok. I'm not running a popularity contest.
Well, this is your opinion. I will go and find this out for myself.
Spielberg sounds like an ass in this article. Clearly he is an ass. He made a movie to impress the left, not to tell the truth. As ASS.
Clearly this movie will please Jewhaters, jihadis, and the left. None of these types are worth "debating" with.
Spielberg will be acclaimed for his "balanced and even handed" approach to this movie. And for hiring such a "sensitive" screenwriter as Kushner. After all they are both Jews so how could they get it wrong? I wish he had never touched the subject of the Munich massacre. He diminishes true understanding of Jihadist terrorism. He has Hollywoodized, has Spielbergized this awful incident and the Israeli revenge with sex, action and flashy production values
I don't think so. Daily Variety already hammered him for making a bad, boring movie, in 2 reviews.

By MANOHLA DARGIS
WITH his latest film, "Munich," Steven Spielberg forgoes the emotional bullying and pop thrills that come so easily to him to tell the story of a campaign of vengeance that Israel purportedly brought against Palestinian terrorists in the wake of the 1972 Olympics. An unsparingly brutal look at two peoples all but drowning in a sea of their own blood, "Munich" is by far the toughest film of the director's career and the most anguished. Mr. Spielberg has been pummeling audiences with his virtuosity for nearly as long as he has been making movies; now, he tenders an invitation to a discussion.
The film's title suggests that this is the story of what happened at Munich in September 1972, and it is, though only in part. Most of the action - and if nothing else, this nail-biter is a full-on action movie ......
The NY Times. Not a surprise.
Spetz.
