exactly. i wanted it to be very good and it was only "meh".
Art historians trying to save art from the Nazis and stand for the values of civilisation and culture against both the Nazis and the Allies is a story that fascinates me; what is there not to like?
But - the pacing was poor, and the actual story could have been far better handled.
And yes, - the "raw ingredients" - the fine production values, the excellent cast, the fact that it was (loosely) based on a true story - were all very promising, and should all have ensured that the movie was very good.
I wanted to like it, but unfortunately, I didn't. The pacing, story-telling and - strangely - the script were surprisingly underwhelming.
