There were some really cool "film moments" in this movie. The first scene hows shots of paintings that change whenever a loud bang is heard. Once all the paintings in the collection have been seen, the camera jumps to a man hammering something (hence the loud banging noise). It was really interesting seeing the noise synchronized with the camera shots. There was also a montage scene when the lead character is getting his Monuments Men together. The music suited perfectly, and the scene itself was a rather important/serious one, but with a hint of humour. I really enjoyed the scoring of this movie, and the camera/editorial work.
The story was good, very well directed and easy to follow. I love American history, especially its war history, and I was not disappointed by this at all. If you are into action, drama, or war history, I recommend watching this.
I give Monuments Men a 6.5 out of 10.
