Monuments Men, the movie
Is it worth watching (for free)?

At a theatre for $50, no.

On TV, sure.

Eh, it's ok. I don't hardly remember anything about it, if you got nothing better to do, and it's free, it'll do ya.

Yes; interesting story and based on some true stuff. Feels more like a small screen presentation than a feature film, but the actors are good and there are some funny scenes/lines and some heartfelt ones as well. I get the feeling everyone had a good time making this film.

I really like the movie and watch it on TV when I am doing stuff around the house. What they did in real life was fantastic for sure. This movie shows that and is entertaining.

I got to see it at a senior rate in Lost Wages in a Casino and thought it was worth the $5.00 to watch.

I liked it. The actors were good and it was interesting to know/see what happened with the art stolen.

Thanks for the recommendations. Knowing the history of the Monuments Men and based on your reviews I watched it and enjoyed it.

The screenplay is based around the research and the handful of books by Robert Edsel. He did a number of interviews leading up to the movie and the guy is quite knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Travel big-wig Rick Steves has had him on his radio show/podcast quite a bit several years back, you can look up back episodes.

There's another notable book around this, Rape of Europa by Lynn Nicols
