Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, THE MONUMENTS MEN centers around an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. In a seemingly impossible mission, the Monuments Men, as they were called, find themselves risking their lives in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1,000 years of culture.

The Monuments Men was the first movie I regretted seeing in theaters. The humor in the film was forced almost to the point that it began to detract from the story. The story itself was ok, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The actors all performed well, but the script was the limiting factor. Overall, it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a good movie either.

I like this movie very much. It is based in part on the book, which is a great read, but the story line has been fleshed out and enhances the basic history quite well. The visuals and character expansions really capture the essence of the search for privately owned art collections stolen by Hitler, Goring and other Nazi underlings. The movie has some humor to balance the atrocities and a mix of character types. Well done in every respect with excellent acting. Miss Blanchett's performance is stellar

I read the bad reviews in our local papers and online, but I still wanted to see this film, which I called Ocean's 1945. It has a great cast and it could not fail to entertain. Watching Clooney and Murray do anything would be good, or so I thought. I was SO wrong. Clooney is in his full self-righteous Alan Alda mode. Everything he and his men do is noble and great, and the bad guys are slimy. Nothing --nothing!-- really happens in this film. It is a terrible script, terrible characters. We need a few brave volunteers to find the vault where the original data files of this film are stored and torch them, for the good of humanity.
