    George Clooney's WW2 film The Monuments Men is a big mess that wastes its stellar cast and plays like a rough cut.

    +Noble intentions carry the film as far as they can.
    +Man, what a cast ...
    – ... too bad so many of them have so little to do.
    – Crudely constructed & oddly paced narrative.
    – Characters that lack dimension & identity.
    – Message Movie Moments!

    I will still go see this movie. I've been really excited about it.

    Not so much. He's been really good in some things, and just plain terrible in others. As a director, from what little of his work I've seen, he leaves a LOT to be desired.

    Now you are claiming to be a Director Wook? What is next? Saying you are Congressman?



    By the way, just kidding. I know what you meant.

    It looks like it should be terrific.

    But, alas...

    If Wook runs against Peter DeFossio he gets my vote.
