Reviews

jean-martin30 If you like this movie ,may I recommend The Train with Burt Lancaster ,it's a good movie

rfant01 With a cast like Bill Murray and John Goodman you'll think that this has a lot of comedy, but there is very little to laugh at, don't go in thinking there is. Though there are a few incidence of dry humor, some really good, they are very little and very few. A lot of the movie is just what the plot says, a group of middle age art experts, drafted into the army to chase down vast art collections stolen by the NAZI High Command to fill Hitler's planned 'Hitler Art Museum'.

thekarmicnomad I was dragged kicking and scream to watch this by my girlfriend. I used to like WW2 films, "Cross of Iron" and "A bridge too Far" were firm favourites growing up.But modern WW2 movies seem dedicated on making really bad versions of "The Magnificent Seven". From "Saving Private Ryan" to "Fury" to "Red Tails" it all boils down to our band of heroes having to defend some ridiculous objective against a horde of incompetent, suicidal Nazis.Monument Men is not like that. It tells the story of Allied special agents sent to recover, protect and return works of art.The characters are likable and interesting, and very human. There have been at least a few flourishes of artistic licence (for instance who would go to the effort to design a land mine that explodes when you step off it?)I don't know the true story but this seems believable enough to me and I was gripped right up to the very end.It goes without saying the affects and production are very high quality. Against my initial feeling I would highly recommend this.

ladyamy-33825 I read IMDb reviews all the time and have never created a log in or written a review until I felt that this movie needed some input.Yes, I know that this movie was the short, short version of the much more amazing true story of the people who brought their expertise to bear to save our history and put their lives on the line for it. But if it takes George Clooney and Matt Damon to shine a light on this deserving story for the younger generation, so be it.I am an educator and a history buff, but have you spoken to a local middle school or high school student recently? Have you asked them what they know about World War II? They know very little and they have a hard time figuring out why events that happened 70-80 years ago have anything to do with them or their world. Yes, I am reading the book, and I want all the historical detail I can get my hands on. I loved the documentary "The Rape of Europa" which is also a more in depth story. But I will show this short, funny version to young students if that's what to takes to get them to think about it, even a little. It is a great starting point for many of the difficult topics like the Holocaust and military occupation without being too intense or distressing. For educators and students, there is a lot of swearing in the movie, but the language is very PG rated, especially compared to many other war movies out there.
