True story told as if it's not serious or important, Great cast

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2014)

Certainly, the story told by The Monuments Men is worth telling and it's easy to see why a luminary like Clooney would be sufficiently attracted to want to direct it. Unfortunately, this treatment, written by Clooney and long-time collaborator Grant Heslov, isn't the best fit. One gets the sense that The Monuments Men might work better as a longer form project. There's simply too much going on to cram into two hours and the end result is a feeling that pieces of the tale are being skipped while others are rushed through. The movie does a good job of illustrating why protecting art from the Nazi scourge was important but it's far less effective fleshing out the personalities of the people who did the protecting.

I loved the premise of this movie, the idea of saving history and art. I wished someone else had made this movie because the entire thing felt like Clooney basking in his own glory. I did love all the other acting, and would recommend it to
