A full british cast (and TC) could seem quite off since this is about, doh, germans, but the fact that not even one is given a cheesy german accent makes it work. What is truly great about this film is that Singer has made it very suspensefull even though you from the very beginning know how its gonna end...

Flat out I'll say that accents have never bothered me. I would much rather see an actor speak with his native accent rather than try a poor and grinding irritation. With that said none of the acting choices bothered me at all and I'd go so far as to say that I they were very good. Tom Cruise, whom I have never really had an affinity for to be honest, does admirably well in the lead. The true accomplishment of Valkyrie is making an intense thriller when you still know the outcome.

As a praise for this film I am admitting that it was suspenseful even when the outcome was clear right from the beginning. Last act wasn't that interesting. Who wants to see antagonist losing when the victory was so near. Interesting cast and clever directing makes this film an entertaining nailbiter.

The ending - and second half as a whole - may be more dramatic, but for me the first half (following the stumbling intro) with the build up, recruiting and planning really makes the movie. The first meeting between Stauffenberg and Hitler is indeed the best scene of the movie. After that things play out quite predictably. Still: Nice pacing, high patos and generally well-acted (even though, as many states, it obviously rings false that everybody are Hollywood A- or B-listers...). But not bad.

"Valkyrie" is about as interesting a movie as I could have guessed given all the bad buzz around it. Don't listen to it. No, Cruise and cast do not bother with German accents, but beyond that, Bryan Singer (X-Men) and team bring to light a suspenseful, interesting story. It's not Oscar bait, and it's not brilliant, but it's a satisfying time at the movies with a few scenes sure to make some sweaty palms.

For such an intriguing story, Singer does a terrible job of keeping you intrigued. The story is fantastic, I mean, a plot to kill Hitler, and all based on truth, now thats a story. But i found this movie to be extremely sloppy and it tried way too hard to be epic. Stick to films like Downfall.

The most noticeable things about Valkyrie are the wild tonal shifts between being mind-numbingly dry and theatrically exuberant. Otherwise, it's not a terrible film. Mostly well-cast, John Ottman's score was rather engaging, and it was overall an intriguing retelling of a historic event in WWII.

Tom Cruise playing dress up as a nazi barely distracts from how terrible the acting is overall (you just can't overcome the limitations of playing a nazi who speaks British, it can't be done). Also, how do you make a plot to kill Hitler boring? Ask Singer, he'll tell you.

As much as I like Bryan Singer and as much as I am intrigued by the real life story behind the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler this movie was preposterous with Tom Cruise in the lead role. It's especially bad when you consider how many excellent German actors there are out there who could have been used in the starring role. Just watch Downfall if you want a good idea of what this film should have been.

I was expecting a sub-par mindless popcorn flick about Nazis, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was also expecting a problem with the film by knowing how the entire scheme would end, but I found myself on the edge of my seat for different reasons, saying "oh my God, they got close. Oh my God, they got REALLY close. Oh my God, I had no idea they were this close." The movie is expertly executed, and a surprising find that people have kind of brushed to the side.

Obviously, anyone and everyone who goes to see this film knows that the plot of this movie is doomed to fail. However, the journey of these characters to accomplish their mission is a great story that deserved to be told. Overall, I feel as though this film will always be underrated because everyone is in the mood to underestimate Tom Cruise.

Interesting, but not exciting. The plot is great (watching an attempted coup d'état in action is interesting, especially one that really happened), but the execution is somewhat lacking. The accent issue does kind of trip you up, but it's not that big of an issue. The scene where von Stauffenberg meets Hitler for the first time is the best, very suspenseful.

It's an interesting story and respectably well made, but for some reason the fourth wall just never really came up for me. It's not even Tom Cruise's fault; even in scenes without him I was always intensely aware I was watching a period movie filmed in the 21st century. Not sure why. Something about Hitler speaking English just sets off all kinds of bizarreness-alarms in my head.

Some write Singer off, but the man has a distinct style and talent, and Valkyrie doesn't disappoint in delivering both. I see criticism such as "sloppy". This is perplexing, as I found the film to be construed quite competently. As the for the accents, well, gentlemen, I seem to recall an excellent film by the name of Paths of Glory which showcased the same thing. It's not a flaw for a film to abandon accents. If we really wanted realism they'd be speaking fluent German. Excellent film.

After being thoroughly nonplussed by Singer's X-Men and Superman flicks, I had pretty low expectations for this. Yes it's weird that the accents are all over the place and they're speaking English, but once you get over that hump it's a fun ride. It's amazing how Singer and co managed to hold the suspense, considering that we know... yeah... Hitler wasn't assassinated. Tom Cruise ain't too bad in this and the supporting cast is very strong. Worth a watch.

Isn't the ignored flipside of this event that Von Stauffenberg might not only be a savior of the Good, but an aristocrat who worried about his German hegemony which he saw being ruined in the hands of a by the plebs chosen Fuhrer? If he had succeeded the war might have endured much longer, because he was a better strategist and would have brought Germany in a powerfull position against the Allies... and you actually want Hitler to LIVE?!

I wasn't sure what to think about Valkyrie until the last 15 minutes or so of the movie. It might have also been at the end of the movie where they show the quotation from the war memorial in Germany. The plot of the movie is great and the message that plot sends is resounding, but there was still a pit in my stomach that made me think that this movie seemed a bit crass. I'm not sure if that is 30 years of conditioning to view the Nazis as the ultimate evil or what but it made me think.

Valkyrie is good, if not great: It's relatively faithful to the historical text, and it clips along at a nice pace. Moreover, it steers clear of gratuitous sex, gore and even (for the most part) foul language. There's less violence in Valkyrie than you'll find in any modern war movie, and even most of the classic ones from the 1960s and '70s. It has heroes , a horrific villain and a fine message: We must stand up for what's right, regardless the cost or chance of victory. (pluggedin.com)

There's something I'm feeling about Bryan Singer movies lately...they're filmed and written well, but they take no chances and leave very little impression when over (see: Superman Returns). Valkyrie falls into this trend, with Tom Cruise playing a Nazi colonel trying to assassinate Hitler. His acting is fine, but casting an unknown (or less known) would have made for a more convincing character. The film also could benefit from being more explicit about showing the Nazis' effect on Germany.

Valkyrie is sometimes thrilling, but it lacks the characters to make it stand out. It's a movie where people plan an assassination, and then execute the plan and watch the fallout occur. It's not particularly interesting, the performances were bland, and I can't say I had fun while watching it. This isn't an alternate universe that has a different ending to World War II, so if you know anything about that, you'll know how well their plan goes.

Though 'Valkyrie' makes the point within the first scene that German words are being translated for us through the 4th wall, I just don't buy that it's Nazi's I'm watching. Even with the constant Nazi symbolism in nearly every frame, I couldn't help but feel like I was watching a plot by the allies. Putting that aside, the film is thrilling and beautifully shot. Sadly, that brings me back to the confusion of the setting as it almost glorifies the Nazi regime. Well done, but hard to stay focused.

a story about nine months before the fall of Hitler and the intention of some of his generals to kill him that was unsuccessful . Bryan Singer the director knows which projects to choose and this movie was one of them .

Tom Cruise assassinated this movie. Had this movie focused on any of the other characters or just had someone else cast as Stauffenberg, this could have easily been an excellent movie. But he killed it.

All the characters speak English, some with accents, and they can all read German.

Probably the biggest mistake Bryan Singer made in directing Valkyrie was to make it a thriller. Considering we know Hitler doesn't die at the end (SPOILER ALERT) it's hard to create tension in this story. It's still a competently made thriller, and Tom Cruise gives an adequate if disappointingly straightforward portrayal of a man more interesting than he appears here. It's well-made but far too generic to be of any lasting impact.

Decent plot, keeps you interested throughout the whole film, could use a few directing fixes.

Surprisingly well polished and well acted. The marketing had me thinking that there was some sort of way-out style to this movie, which was not the case. A great story well worth telling that made me look up the real course of events (which really weren't much different than the movie's)

Against expectations really nice and the tense is high throughout the whole movie. The English speaking Nazis are really bothering though. And a scientologist to be a nazi? That's some good typecasting

Mimicking the characters it portraits, Valkyrie means well but fumbles in the end.

That's a good movie. Most of the actors are british and imo this gives the movie a certain quality. I'm curious what would happen if it wasn't starred by Tom Cruise. He's not showing off, all right, but I think that his character is a little bit underlined.

A common complaint about Valkyrie is the predictable ending, would these people prefer a fantasy finish where Hitler was killed?? The lack of German actors and English/American accents are also a cause for concern and although I found this odd at the start it does little to detract from the movie. This seemingly small event in history came so close to changing so much. Valkyie is a story worth telling which this film does more than adequately.

Not sure how to rate this. I liked it...I think. Kinda slow but still interesting. And just like every Tom Cruise movie there's an element of...well, Tom Cruise. Still the direction and screenplay were spot on. Overall, a fun way to spend a Nazi-hatin' evening.
