  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.

  Valkyrie

  by gswank66

  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

  Valkyrie

  by Azeaka

  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.

  Cruise is back!

  by rkaufmann87

  I went in knowing how this was going to end and was hoping to be entertained which I was. Cruise plays a flawed but courageous character, one that believes in his country more than it's current leadership. Little has been written of the true accounts of this story and little is known here in the US however history buffs know the basics. This story helps shed some light on the character of some German leaders who know they were working for the worst criminal alive at the time...Hitler. They knew change was needed in their government, that innocent people were being slaughtered and ultimately Hitler was to blame.
  
  Cruise plays a trusted Nazi leader that knows the direction Hitler is leading Germany. He is aware Hitler must be removed and a new head of government put in place before Germany can ask for an armistice with the Allies. He along with other German patriots put together a plan that almost worked but was doomed for failure.
  
  I enjoyed this film and would recommend it.

  British Actors just Love Playing Nazis!

  by Dion129632

  A fine movie full of suspense, intrigue, and historical detail. If only they had succeeded...think of the vast number of people that could have been spared - especially in the Holocaust. Damn fine cast...great screenplay...and Tom Cruise in a role that makes you forget he's famous for jumping couches! I look forward to adding this one to my DVD collection,

  A MUST SEE FILM!!

  by goldwings2101

  I was absoutely blown away by how well the film was written. The ending is really emotional, and had a few people in tears. Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but he did a good job in capturing the spirit, bravery and tenacity of Claus Von Stauffenberg & the supporting cast did a great job as well. I can't reccomend this film enough, and strongly urge everyone to see it.

  Valkyrie a must see over and over again

  by

  When I first heard of Valkyrie let's be honest here I didn't think it would be that good. But boy was I wrong. And noted this is only my opinion but tom cruise did an excellent job getting into his character and the way the movie was done the only word that I could say after the movie wasn't yawn it was WOW!!!!!! So look past the Scientology and the way tom cruise is and look at him as an actor. If you are interested in history this movie is a must see and I will see it again

  Valkryie, Historically Acurate, Edge of your seat Awesome!

  by chicagohorrorfan

  Ive seen hundreds of ww2 movies, and this one would be ranked in my top 10. I didnt think I would like it when I first heard about it and that Tom Cruise would fall short, but boy I was wrong!!! Cruise plays the role of his lifetime, and should be considred for an Oscar for this role. Bryan Singers attention to detail is obvious, and the fact that they filmed onsite in Berlin makes this Movie an A+
  
  This story is amazing, and true - which keeps your heartbeating, and on the edge of your seat. Anyone who sees it, should't be disappointed, even if you don't like ww2 movies, Valkryie is not your typical war movie.

  Valkyrie

  by ozalot

  Didn't think I would like a "war movie", but went to see it because my husband wanted to go. I was delightfully suprised! It was a great movie, historically factual for the most part. Tom Cruise was excellent in this movie. I enjoyed every minute of it.

  Valkyrie

  by GreenShorts

  i saw this knowing the ending and it did not ruin the movie for me and i always say to the people who hate tim cruise that this was his best performence because it was in my opinion. It was one of the best action drama ive seen in awhile and the person who played hitler looked almost like him so t was very accurate on the historic part, the plot was amazing and everyone in the movie did an outstanding job in their roles, must see

  This movie will stay with me

  by GracieZG

  Valkyrie is a movie about a level of courage we seldom see. It is also about judgment, strategy, timing, and leadership.
  
  A lot has been written about the Holocaust, but not so much about the German experience, where their compromised choices ended up being their own nightmare. It is good to see a movie like this, because these situations repeat themselves. It is good to know history.
  
  It doesn't matter that we know what happened with this 15th attempt to assassinate Hitler ? this movie is suspenseful from the first moments to the end. It is an excellent story well told, well written, well acted, excellent soundtrack, stunning scenery. It will stay with me as most movies do not.

  Not the best

  by gunnner9mm

  It was a good story and I think the movie was executed well but there are a lot of pieces of the story that I think were missing. It jumped around, and it was kind of confusing figuring out which side each person was on and who was helping and who was hurting the plan.

  Don't know what the critics are complaining about.

  by ElizaDom

  This movie was great. For me, one of the best things about it was that it is not gory. The story has stayed with me for a week now. I have been Googling Valkyrie ever since.
  
  Tom Cruise was believable and kept me at the edge of my seat. He gave a mature, non-egotistical performance.

  Valkyrie

  by TXtom

  My wife and I took our 16yr old grandson. We consider the movie to be good and an interesting historical movie.
  
  I was quite aware of the story (having seen the History Channel) and I found it to be a bit slow as it approached the end.
  
  If you are interested in WW2 history, it's a good movie to see.
