Very much worth seeing but my expectations were just a little too high & because of that I didn't like it as much as expected

"You can wipe out a generation of people. You can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll still come back, but if you destroy their achievements and their history then it's like they never existed...that's what Hitler wants and it's the one thing we simply can't allow." This is a true story of a group of "soldiers" in WWII that were tasked with recovering priceless art that the Nazi's have stolen and return them to their owners. From the beginning the mission was set up to fail but they didn't take into account the passion of the men involved. I was really looking forward to this movie because of the cast alone, but again I love movies based on true stories. Due to that I had very high expectations going in. While I can't say I was disappointed it wasn't as good as I was hoping for. The movie starts off pretty slow but picks up and by the end you are glad you watched. The fact that this is a true story really makes the story that much more powerful and gets you invested that much more into the story and the characters. Overall, this is a movie that I'm glad I saw and it was good but I think my expectations were just a little too high and because of that I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I give this a B.
