The worst war movie I have seen is "The men who stare at goats".  If The Monuments Men is that bad, I won't see it.

Walked out of this in a free screening after 25 minutes.  Pacing wise it felt like a bad imitation of Goodfellas, and I couldn't stomach trying to force Amy Adams into a queen of seduction roll.  Its just not her.  The movie should reach exposition 30 minutes in at the latest.  Pointless, annoyingly overly stylized film.

It's not for everyone, the ending was a bit tame, but I thought Bale put in a blinding performance as usual. The quality acting makes the difference for me. If the acting in monuments had been better I could have stomached the hideously slow and uninspired story.

It's a shame because it has the potential to be an amazing story.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

I liked him better in the Bridge over River Kwai.

I haven't seen Monument Men, but interestingly, I got to talk to WWII vet Robert Thomas who, after being one of the troops taking out bunkers on the Siegfried Line, was one of the first two allied soldiers to discover Narzzie loot stored in a salt mine (Ransbach).  It was an amazing story.

It's a movie. It's purpose is to entertain not to get every single fact right. Yeah I noticed some things, but it kept me interested.

I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 but that's pretty good compared to a lot of movies I've seen, take the hangover trilogy for example.

Tough crowd, eh?  I thoroughly enjoyed it. 
I didn't read the book, but did read The Venus Fixers (somewhat similar topic).

Any movie that drives my teens to seek out a book about WWII history is cherries. :)
