    Valkyrie

    To Start off I would like to say I was all prepared with popcorn & drink and ready to eat and sleep through it. This was my husbands movie pick and I thought I would be bored out of my skull.......WELL not the case the movie was great and it kept us in suspense and exiteced throughout the movie. I had forgotten what a terrific actor Tom Cruise is. We rate it a 5 star

    Don't Rate the movie if you haven't watched it

    by hsth4

    I watched the movie, and I enjoyed it. You will like what you watch, that is, if you arent already biased against it. I cant stand when people say, I hate Tom Cruise, and I hated the movie. Or I didn't watch the movie, but I hate this type of movie. If you haven't watched a movie, dont rate it and pollute our minds. If you dont like one of the actors, or the genre of a movie, why waste your time and ours by saying the obvious, that you don't like it. Stay home and watch whatever tickles your fancy. As for me, the movie was entertaining, and worth the time and money. I don't think it will win any awards, but still the same, it was fun to watch and time well spent. If you are expecting a loving romance movie, and say the movie sucks, you should have watched a preview or read some reviews. It is what it is.

    This is an excellent movie with lavish attention to detail and fine performances. Much has been made of Tom Cruise in the lead and his alleged deficiencies compared to the other actors, but in fact he does a solid job which does not in any way detract from the movie. It probably helps to know a bit of history going into the movie if one is not familiar with the circumstances surrounding the plot to kill Hitler, but you certainly don't have to be an expert in history to appreciate the ultimate sacrifices made by von Stauffenberg and his co-conspirators. This is not a happy movie --- the subject matter itself is grim --- but it is very well done and highly recommended.
