How is Munich faring so far with the critics? The big weigh-in happens on Friday, 12.23, with the limited opening…but right now it’s got an overall 70% favorable Rotten Tomatoes rating (not bad but not wonderful), and a 55% favorable with cream-of- the-crop critics. The thumbs-up crowd includes Entertainment Weekly‘s highly respected Owen Gleiberman, Ebert and Roeper‘s Richard Roeper, Rolling Stone‘s Peter Travers (renowned for being an easy lay), the New York Post‘s Lou Lumenick, the Hollywood Reporter‘s Kirk Honeycutt and Reelview‘s James Berardinelli. The thumbs-down contingent includes The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane, Variety‘s Todd McCarthy, New York Observer critics Andrew Sarris and Rex Reed, and the Village Voice‘s Jim Hoberman.
