Valkyrie

VALKYRIE deserves wider attention than it received during its theatrical release, a theater run mired by the media emphasis on the tacky behind the scenes stories of the making of the film and the character destruction of Tom Cruise. This is... Full review

Claus von Stauffenberg, a man famous for being a German Army Officer who came closest to a assassinating Adolf Hitler. Von Stauffenberg is the closest figure Germany has to a national hero during World War 2. It's surprising that it took... Full review

I've just finished watching this and I feel I have quite an open taste when it comes to films and I refuse to comment too much on giving the plot or characters away. The good points - This film is suspenseful... Full review

In case you wonder why the film kind of leaves you cold, here's my guess: the protagonist, Stauffenberg, is lacking any inner conflict. As generally the characters Mr. Cruise plays seem to be in doubt max 5 mins of the respective... Full review

I was curious about this movie since it had caused so much controversy with Tom Cruise in the main role. Personally I think he was after all not a bad choice for this part and all in all I am very... Full review

Valkryie, a movie that takes on the closest assassination to Adolf Hitler, being such a huge history buff, sadly I knew how this was going to end. I love walking out of the theater hearing the teenagers go "What the heck?!... Full review

A cheap historical reconstruction, trying to fill-up with insignificant details the serious flaws, and vulgarizing an important plot of the last century. Commercial, shallow and spectacular. One of the biggest failures is the over-blowing of von Stauffenberg, a mediocre officer with... Full review

I'm appalled at the way the specialized and not so specialized media attacked Tom Cruise for this movie. Why? He's not just good but very good in his against type performance. I've heard critics calling him "distractingly bad", how ridiculous and... Full review

Even when I put my personal feelings about Tom Cruise aside I still couldn't get into the movie. The plot was slow enough with him and he just made it worse. He needs to just not get involved with movies like this and movies like this just need not to get involved with him.

I thought this movie was a waste. I had bad ideas about the movie to begin with, but a friend had to see it for a history report. They took a fact and murdered it. Tom Cruise has lost all respect from me when he made Scientology. I thought he was an idiot then and they should not have used him in this film if they wanted it to do good. He was out of his normal Mission Impossible role. There wasn't any part of the movie where i think i actually was interested. It seemed as though the movie was moving in slow motion. The movie had a story line that wasn't really all that bad. It's not hard to do though with the germans back then. Now im german also, but it made me sick some of the ways that the Nazi's were depicted. The Nazi's were crazy. I think they should've just made the movie have some special forces bust threw the gates with guns and bombs to destroy the whole place.

But in my mind, the exceptional acting was overshadowed by the awkwardness of Nazi German officers speaking English in a British accent.....The movie does not disappoint when it comes to helping us understand what things looked and sounded like in Germany during World War II.....But the Hollywood story telling elements are extremely effective....I was a little hesitant about Tom Cruise being in the lead role of Colonel Stauffenberg....they help the story to move along nicely..... ...
