World War 2 films are always the centrifuge of amazing spectacularity in film whether it be the amazing set pieces, heartbreaking scripts, or deep true acting there's always an intense enriching experience. However a new movie out called The Monuments Men puts a new spin on World War 2. A platoon has to save the paintings,artifacts,sculptures and of course monuments from being blown out before the Nazi's come. But this isn't a regular platoon. This is a platoon starring George Clooney,Matt Damon,Kate Blanchett,Bill Murray and much more.
However all those accomplished and superficial actors don't actually go together to make a great film. ReviewsOnTheRun complained about the premise of the film and making the film feel uncomfortable with not only a harsh story (Human lives are more important than art) but being strung together by cliches such as Kate Blanchett being the French femme-fatale. It's clear that The Monuments Men is nothing special and a 33% on RottenTomatoes and a 52 on Metacritic do not lie.
Overall do not see this movie. It is clearly a waste of time.
The Monuments Men is rated PG-13.
