I used to hire this movie every time I went to the video store with my mum when i was eight years old. I used to think 'the Pit of Blood' who be fun to swim in and the magnetic weights were funny. I did not know hulk Hogan I just thought he was a really really big man. But I loved it when I was little, even the villain was funny to an extent.

But now eleven years later I watched it again. Funny how you remember what the lines were and the music lyrics in that long time. It brought back memories but sadly I now saw how weak it was in some areas; especially the stunts. How ever if you do not watch it critically and enjoy the humour I think anyone can enjoy it.

What really amazed me was little Madeline Zima's acting; she was not excellent but I thought she gave a great effort in fact she reminded me of me when I was a little girl. How many times had I screamed at my brother to get what I want.

Overall it is a weak movie but keep an open mind, it was made in the early nineties, also what Hulk Hogan gets up to with Madeline I think is priceless. How often do you see a wrestler in a tutu with curly hair in ribbons.

This is the only movie where I cannot decide what to think of it. It started with a tense atmosphere and ended just the same. The killings of both the terrorists and the assassins were horrific; I could not stop squirming in my seat. However I thought this was a great touch to the movie; it was brave enough to show the terror of what happened. It did not protect the audience by shielding the images. It showed everything.Sometimes people need to be shown horror in order for them to understand how terrible the events were.

The movie reminded me of Black Hawk Down but Munich does not let you go home routing for the protagonist. It allows you to see why Palestinians and Israelies are raged at each other and what each wants. I could not say the Palestinians were monsters or that the Israelies were animals. I empathized with both and felt sympathy for the innocent.

This movie shows how hopeless it is to find peace if we act upon vengeance and destruction. The spite was there a thousand years ago, it was there in 1972 and it is still here today in 2006. Will it continue till 2050...it probably will.

I am a great fan of the original Hababam Sinifi series and i thought the 2004 version was a nice comeback with traditional themes and comedy. The 2005 release was testing its limits with a new setting in the army and had a ridiculous ending in my opinion but i thought it was still traditional. However this release was a total disappointment for me. It had the comedy and the lovable characters but the storyline was extremely poor and out of portion. It seemed the filmmakers were using ideas from various foreign films which lost the audience. The audience is not stupid they know what is from what and when the plot does not link up. This movie lost the whole theme of the chaotic class which gave their teachers hell but managed to win their hearts in the end. I laughed a lot but i left the cinema feeling extremely annoyed. If they make another release i hope they devote more time into the storyline and the values of the concept. 5/10 for the comedy and characters like Bebe Ruhi and Psiko.
