Genres & Description

Action Drama History War

6.1 / 10

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest achievements.

Important story, well-acted and moving. Unfortunately - to judge by some of the comments - a viewer needs to care about the subject (Nazis cultural rape of Europe) and appreciate the political and military obstacles the characters had to confront. Interesting to imagine Lincoln Kirstein's reaction to his character's loss of about a foot in height. - @Thursday, December 18, 2014 11:04 PM

This had zero character development, I mean zero. Good idea for a story, but very poorly executed. Such a stellar cast, but the story line made for a crappy B movie at best. So glad I didn't see in the theater. - @Monday, June 9, 2014 5:04 AM
