The Monuments Men

IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

George Clooney made a war movie. Good cast, great tech specs. But this is a movie based around a real task force and while they did have a central mission, the film chooses to focus on the varied adventures making for a very disjointed and episodic film that's hard to engage with. Crippling it further is the odd tone. Clooney seems to be trying to mix a 1940's style boys own adventure film with the modern reverence we have for these serious events, so it's irreverent one minute and melodramatic the next. Didn't work for me.
