The Monuments Men

The Monuments Men wants to be a jaunty all star caper in the style of Ocean's 11 but with the serious undertones of this being based on true events.There was a group of Monuments Men who had the task of finding historical and cultural treasures and snatch it away from the Nazis.

Odd that no one ever made this movie 60 years ago. "The Monuments Men" assembles a cast in very much the way as post-World War II films like "Command Decision," which brought together Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon, Van Johnson, Brian Donlevy, Charles Bickford, John Hodiak, and Edward Arnold in a compelling but largely forgotten study of the military vs.

What a wonderful movie this could have been the subject is exceptional - but this script is watered-down, sanitized to a point where it's neither a docu-drama, mystery, a heist or even much of a war movie. I've seen documentaries on the subject that were far more engaging.

I have learned the another part of the war.

The Monuments Men is a great movie with a well developed storyline and a very impressive cast. It's a well acted and dramatic film that also has a lot of nice comedy, it's a really interesting true story about a group of men who put their lives on the line to return artwork to their respective owners.

The story was uninteresting and the plot was never exciting, so it was mostly boring. It was one of the worst war movies I've seen.

I am convinced that George Clooney felt compelled to make a statement about the importance of protecting what's essential to Western Civilization. The film says that art is that essential ingredient.

Moderately entertaining if somewhat unbelievable. It's a bit hard to take seriously someone as grossly obese as John Goodman in fatigues.
