Better than the harsh reviews seen

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2014)

The Monuments Men is torn apart by and ridiculed by critics and common people alike and I fail to see why. It's a great story about the little things that drive us in life and remind us who we are and where we came from. It seems that most people find this movie to be boring and drawn out. I can see that point. I felt like if art, history, or true stories don't appeal to you then stay away from this movie. If any of those three interest you then go see it. It was boring in a few spots but most movies do have their dry spells. The only reason this movie is torn apart is because it wasn't an action packed war movie. That is the reason why people aren't happy. So ignore the people who are hating on this movie for what it isn't and go enjoy this story about saving the past while fighting for the present and future, and don't expect a Saving Private or a Platoon you'll just end up in the majority that is disappointed in this movie.
