Review of The Monuments Men (2014) by Marni G — 14 Dec 2014
I thought this movie was really poorly done and was so surprised by how bad it was considering the cast and the hype (I actually had to stop watching it partially into it - something I do not do often).
Like many people, I enjoy most movies that deal with WWII and this particular topic of the Monuments Men is particularly interesting. The movie never felt "real" to me - from the casting (several people seemed very poorly cast and not at all believable in their characters), to the music that seemed oddly light and upbeat at times as if trying to convey humor that was simply not there in the dialogue, I felt I was watching an imitation of something - a knockoff of something.
It just seemed so inauthentic. Anyone who appreciates well done, believable movies, with intelligent dialogue, humor and acting will find this movie severely lacking.
