Pretty good movie. I'd give it a C+. Good from a historical standpoint. One interesting gun point. Matt Damon enters a mine to look for artwork with a 1911. Unfortunately the hammer is down so it would be pretty hard to shoot the bad guys.

Who knows? That could have been intentional. Is his character one of the hardly-trained-for-this-kind-of-shit guys?
No Excuse! He should have learned enough as Jason Bourne!!
just kidding.
My wife liked it more than I did. I agree with C+.
It was alright I could have waited to see it at home versus paying a movie house to see it.
I would have liked to know if that German got Hung or not.

Also give it a C+ Ok, but not spectacular.
I found it kind of annoying that the whole thing was sort of a "look the Monuments Men are at St. Lo, Remagen, Bastogne..." Like, what, audiences could not follow the story if you didn't put the Remagen bridge in the background with CGI? And what paintings were in Bastogne?
They could have told the story much better... because it is a great story. I think Clooney just sucks as a director, for one thing. Contrast this movie with Three Kings, which had a similar plot line (and Clooney) and see a much better story, dialogue and continuity. This wasn't a bad story or even bad acting. It was bad directing.
Just my 2 percent of a dollar... YMMV, as seen on TV, etc.

Just saw it, the timeline was very confusing other than that it was well buttoned up, based on a true story, those guys did a great work rescuing the kind of stuff I don't really care about.
