Could have been better! 5/10

Rating: 5/10 (17 June 2014)

Review: This movie has a great concept and some top class actors, but it does seem to drag in parts. I know that George Clooney, the writer and director, wanted to stay to the story so he couldn't make a comedy or a full out action movie, but for entertainment it seemed to lack a sense of wit. I did find the storyline interesting and all of the actors put in great performances, I was expecting a bit more from from Clooney. I don't think that it will go down as a all time classic, but it's a watchable movie that portrays an important time in history. Watchable!
Round-Up: I could tell that Bill Murray was holding back in this film, which is a shame because it could have done was some of his humour. Matt Damon and George Clooney always have great chemistry on screen, and John Goodman hasn't always been able to hold his own, regardless of the project, which is why I was expecting something amazing in this movie. On the plus side, you can't help but fell emotional when they find some of the art pieces and Clooney did make the film look and feel believable to that period. I'm sure that there was loads of material left out of the storyline, so I would like to see this movie made again with an in depth look into what really happened with the Monuments Men.
Budget: $70million Worldwide Gross: $155million
I recommend this movie to people who are into the World War II movies about a group of men trying to retrieve artwork from the Nazis. 5/10
