Monuments Men(2014) is a movie that would have been best made as a documentary. The film directed and starring George Clooney is based on general historical facts. The film tells of a group of men commissioned by Franklin Roosevelt during World War II to identify and protect historical buildings and monuments from allied bombing. The film focuses instead on the thousands of art works stolen and taken by the Nazis. The film stars among others Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, and Bill Murray. The film is disjointed and plods along waiting for moments in which Clooney gives short moral lessons to the audience. This is a movie best put on the back shelf to be watched when nothing else is available. I give it a generous two flip flops out of five on my rating scale.
