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.

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.

"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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pretty underwhelming, but still it is an important subject to tell. My biggest problem with this movie was how it presented all of the "good" and "bad" Nazis. Listen, I don't need my hand held everytime you introduce a new character. I can figure that shit out for myself. In all honesty this movie should have been made by perhaps a German studio using German actors and in German, but hey if this is all we have at the moment then I suppose its not all bad.

"Valkyrie" has an interesting subject (a failed attempt at killing Hitler) but Tom Cruise being the protagonist should make you suspicious that this isn't exactly a credible drama. Instead, what Singer has tried to make is a relatively lightweight and easily digestible thriller -and although the film is well-crafted and the suspense quite high in some scenes, Cruise's uncharismatic performance as well as the foregone outcome of the operation severely confine its overall impact.

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.

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.

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?! (And the 90-point threshold would've become within reach)

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.

Slow moving and few important developments. too much footage that simply seemed like "filler", and not enough of the meat. It's also extremely disenchanting to go to a movie knowing how it will end, only because it's common knowledge how Hitler really did die. So if you tackle a subject like that, you'd better do a great job.

A lot of people gripe about Germans with British accents, but so what? It's a very crisp, good-looking retelling of a plot to kill Hitler, and goes about it in a very business-like way. Too business-like. The film was serious, but didn't have much in the way of actual drama or a way to pull me into the film, to get me invested emotionally. It's just watching guys in uniforms do things.

I think every American my age has seen _Top Gun_. As a result of that movie's massive success, Cruise has long been one of the poster boys of Reagan-era U.S. militarism. As such, I accepted him as an officer in the Wehrmacht surprisingly readily. Singer keeps it all at the right pace, and the writers throw in enough humor and irony to keep it from wearing you out. In short, this movie is no masterpiece, but considerably better than the "Tom Cruise is nuts" crowd has been saying for months

Good acting, but it has too many shortcomings to be a good war film: better portrayals of other coup members whose roles are close to being extras, fewer simplifications reducing credibility of some situations and definitely some gradation of tension: it has more of a feeling of a reconstruction then a suspense film. Last but not least, where's the 'Ride of the Valkyries'? Choosing it instead of this forgettable soundtrack as the lejtmotif for the film could help it make a lasting impression.

This is one of those films where you know it will end, so its up to strong direction, acting, and other factors to make an enjoyable film. I felt a lot of historical inaccuracy in the film, I could never shake off all of the non-German key actors, mostly British and American, couldn't take them seriously. Frankly, I didn't enjoy the film that much on the whole, Bryan Singer should stick to superheroes, its working well for him.

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.

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)

10 to 15 years ago this film would have been received much more anticipation. The biggest problem is Tom Cruise, not because he's acting bad, just because he's Tom Cruise. Other than that, Valkyrie is a well crafted, affective piece.

Didn't know about the Operation Valkyrie until I saw this movie. There's a lot of suspense and the acting is very good. Loved it.

Bryan Singer wasn't the right man to conduct such a story: Valkirie is an action film based on true facts, and one very uninspired, lazy and unexceptional, despite some exciting and tense moments.

Singer is a master of suspense in this film. Certain scenes - bombing Hitler's meeting, the attempted coup - are masterfully done. And despite what I know of history (um, they lost) while watching it hardly seemed to matter: I was always wondering why they failed. Cruise, unfortunately, is not as captivating as the amazing supporting cast/character actors that upstage him at every turn. Overall enjoyable, but probably not rewatchable.

All around decent, albeit unexceptionable in most regards. Probably one of the grimmer Tom Cruise films you'll see.

I have a soft spot for Tom Cruise but this seems more like a generic Hollywood star vehicle than a believable historic drama. The German version from 2004 with Sebastian Koch in the lead is considerably better.

I was surprised at how good this movie was. Very tense, and good acting and direction.

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.

It's been said that it can be boring because it's build like an adventure movie but you already know the end [ it fails, doh ] but the dialogue and the development it's captivating and the fact that is a true story makes it all better. Tom Cruise is very good too.

Its feels rather clumsy at times, and some the casting is at best dubious. That said this is still a really good ride. Despite the obvious ending, it's engaging and at times quite thrilling, because Singer explains the plot so well, that finding out why it failed is just as facsinating (and I don't consider that a spoiler considering we all know what happened, I hope?!). A well told story about a few brave men.

Plays a lot like an Ocean's 11-style heist movie set in Nazi Germany. No idea how it compares to the events its based on, but it's a fun watch. There's no real character development and it's a glossed-over view of the war, but as popcorn entertainment it's a fun film. Cruise, for all his faults, once again delivers a great performance.

Ugh...this should have been an amazing film to watch! No..I swear to God, Tom Cruise was a robot. No emotion for the most part. The rest of the cast was alright, but they weren't enough to save this film for me. Utterly a waste of time. =/

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 is almost unrecognizable in this--so that's awesome. I enjoyed the cinematography, but knowing the ending before you even walk into the theater makes its impact immediately diminish.
