Monuments submitted by hcf on August 30, 2014, 10:27pm Great cast, okay story.

Ok submitted by leenajong on July 27, 2015, 5:45pm Several great actors but the story line was slow and become boring.

waste of time submitted by pmysore on August 23, 2015, 4:32pm OK story, poor production and direction

Important part of history submitted by Xris on June 17, 2018, 12:44pm I'm glad George Clooney took the time to show the work that people did to save art from being destroyed in WWII. I didn't know that this division of the military existed and I'm happy to have learned about it. I especially enjoyed the extras, where they had the actual Monuments Men and their interviews. :)

Unexpected submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 2:42pm The characters were significantly more relatable than advertised. The plot and artwork were stunning.
