Is this better than Munich (2005)?


Thoughts?

reply

No...Hell no. Munich was great This was a bore

reply

Too different to directly compare. Both are extremely well made. Munich is maybe a bit too long and the pacing suffers in comparison.

reply

They're very similar in a lot of ways, and make sort of fantastic companion pieces. Would be a hell of a double bill. As for which is better... They both have their strengths. I'd hate to call it. Probably give this one a slight edge for consistency, though I think Munich sails far higher at its best.

Not a chance in hell. Munich is by far the superior movie and is a superb film.

reply

Yep. This is a more accessible film. There are parts of Munich that I like, but overall I think it has some problems(pacing for one thing). This is a lot better. You feel the craftsmanship of this film(direction by Spielberg, good cinematography, the story - with some nice touches by the Coen Brothers and the acting duo of Hanks and Rylance.

Munich was great, this was mediocre.

reply

I think Munich was Spielberg's finest film after Schindler's List (and, YES, I AM including Saving Private Ryan). So, no, I do not think this is better than Munich.

reply

I concur

reply

I liked both films. They are a little different in how they go about the plot.

I had already seen Sword of Gideon prior to Munich, so that sort of ruined it for me.

reply

Munich is much better, altough Bridge of Spies is good too, but deserved a better ending...

reply

I think it is
