With the art hidden behind enemy lines, how could these guys hope to succeed?

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
We may have gained something in humor by not taking the saviors in the art-rescue story very seriously, but we've lost just about all of the romantic pleasures of heroism.

rotten:
The movie does a good job of illustrating why protecting art from the Nazi scourge was important but it's far less effective fleshing out the personalities of the people who did the protecting.

rotten:
A frustratingly flat film that drifts from moment to moment with a curious lack of urgency and an overbearing sense of self-importance.

fresh:
If The Monuments Men never overcomes its unwieldy structure and unevenness of tone, the film still manages to make a profound, even subtle point: that Hitler's darkest impulses and annihilating reach extended from human beings to history itself.

fresh:
This is a sturdy, old-school, big-scale Greatest Generation war movie. It's great escapism.
