The Monuments Men (2014)

This was okay for a semi serious men on a mission movie.  The mission: to save lots of art from being destroyed by World War 2.  The characters are pretty cool together.  My favorite pair are the scenes between Bill Murray's character and that one dude from Moonrise Kingdom.  The nazi cigarette scene was awesome.  The movie gets a little boring in the second half.  A few people from the group die and the message is all about if art is worth a human life.  A little sappy.  I didn't really care for it.  Directed by George Clooney.  At first glance, this looked like a cross between Inglourious Basterds and Ocean's 11.  It's a bit more serious than that.  A little dramatic towards the end.
Overall, this could of have been a little better.  Personally, I didn't feel the story that much.
