Munich is a good movie in my opinion. King Kong is also a good movie but for completely different reasons. Munich is good because of the story it tells. Everything else is phenomenal as well, music, cinematography, acting. But the story is where the excitement comes in. It doesn't matter who you think is right or wrong or which side you prefer. The tension throughout the movie is ebbs and flows but is consistently high. But not because of some dinosaur chasing someone down like in King Kong. The end is wonderful in that I had no idea what was going to happen. I don't know if the main character is real like the story surrounding him is so I didn't know his fate. It's disturbing in some scenes but appropriately so. A disturbing instance is disturbing by definition. Spielberg showed enough to be disturbing but not enough to qualify as grotesque or pornographic. King Kong is mostly just pretty. It does have a good story or idea behind it, which is fantastic, but no nearly the depth or range of emotions as Munich.
I think both movies are great. See King Kong to have fun but don't drink anything before hand. See Munich if you want a really great story (set around true happenings, I don't know if the main character is real), but also, don't drink anything before hand, it's long as well. Hey, at least your getting a great dollar/hour entertainment ratio.
