The Monuments Men

While the movie seemed a bit slow, this was a story that needed to be told. I felt that this was an interesting way to relate the story of Hitler's nefarious plans to destroy the world's cultural pieces if he could not have them for himself. Thankfully, these men were able to save a vast amount of what was taken from families, private collections and other institutions. While not diminishing the sacrifice of so many service members, we should be mindful that the efforts and sacrifices of this small group of men is to be lauded as well.

I think this film did as it set out to do, and it did it in an entertaining way. It does have a very good cast, a quality lineup you rarely get to see, but I don't think the film ruined it like other reviews suggest. It told a very good story that made me appreciate art just a bit more and what people did for it. I would definitely recommend watching.

Great film! A bunch of great actors in this film

Better than I expected. Of course it’s not in the top echelon of war movies, but it tells its unique story well enough, the comedy isn’t too over the top where it turns into a distraction, and it successfully addresses the core question: why should we care about art at a time when we should be devoted to fighting homicidal maniacs trying for world domination? I liked this movie, it deserves better than a 30% on RT.

You know how people complain that they "don't make nice, simple movies" anymore? Check this one out. Confidently directed by Clooney, this gorgeous film follows a group of WWII soldiers with one very complicated task: rescue and recover as many great works of art as they can from the Nazis. Sounds like an easy job, right? Nope. With the Germans losing the war, they started retreating back into their native land--and took everything they had pillaged with them. Or burned it. Clooney, Damon and Blanchett are great -- I got a distinct "wartime Ocean's 11" vibe from them -- but the real standouts are Bill Murray and John Goodman, investing their characters with heart. It's not the greatest movie ever made, and not even the best WWII movie ever made (that's Schindler's List, a movie I saw once and never need to see again), but it's the kind of the un-ironic, un-cynical movie Hollywood doesn't make any more.

Good cast, however the pace of the movie was kinda annoying sometimes. All in all I enjoyed the movie but there could have been more going on in between the exciting sequences.

Clooney es un buen director, pero no le dio el enfoque correcto a esta historia. Solo buena, pero sera olvidada pronto

Esperar sair o DVD!

I like the idea of the movie because like it was said in other comments it is a story that needs to be told, it´s not really common knowledge what happened to all the art during WWII and why a lot of it is still there today.
But I also agree with other reviews that the great cast is somewhat wasted on what turned out a mediocre movie.

Excellent cast, mediocre writing. Often the musical score will make or break a movie, this one broke it.
