Valkyrie Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

davidlavelle-488-38455 A rare modern true story of ww2 that captures the feeling of being there that many war films fall short. Tense, brave, heroic, unbelievable!

slightlymad22 Valkyrie (2008)Plot In A Paragraph: A dramatization of the 20 July assassination and political coup plot by desperate renegade German Army officers against Hitler during World War II.I had long since stopped listening to critics, and decided if I fancied a movie, based on its merits!! Shamefully I passed on this and only watched it last year when I stumbled across it starting on TV in the early hours of the morning.Considering most people know the outcome of the movie, Director Bryan Singer has created a movie that is surprisingly suspenseful and tense. All of the cast are superb, Terrance Stamp, Jamie Parker, Carice Van Outen, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson (I was glad to see what happened to his character in real life) stand out. Cruise on the other hand plays it perfectly understated. A real less is more performance. Other than the fact it was popular to bash Cruise at the time, I don't get the hate aimed at him for this movie. Valkyrie grossed $80 million at the domestic box office to end the year, the 35th highest grossing movie of 2008. The film grossed 200 million dollars worldwide making it the fifth highest-grossing World War II film of all-time.

doublevinegar Very well directed and well acted. It's highly suspenseful for a film about a real life event the outcomes of which are well known. I was engaged and on the edge of my seat through out the whole film. Even as you watch the ill fated coup unfold, you can't help but root for the characters and worry about them. I was moved by the officers' courage and nerves despite their motives not being very pure from a non German's POV. Tom Cruise did well, more subdued and wary than his usual performances. Fromm and Abrecht's characters are both handled with nuance. I also really like the adjutant to Stauffenberg, he's assured, committed, perhaps feels even more reliable than some higher ranked officers. His last moments made me tear up, fearless and loyal. The professional critics were wrong, their criticism were very shallow, many of them devoted half their piece to bitching about the accents. International audience like me don't care about such thing.

palavitsinis Haven't watched this one, although it's pretty old! I saw a trailer the other day and decided to watch it. Amazing movie. A really nice outlook on an aspect of Hitler's Germany that not many are aware of. I don't know if this is a propaganda or how much of the movie is true, but still it shows an aspect that is really interesting. The movie keeps you at the edge of your seat, anticipating what will happen next. It's amazing to see how Hitler affected Germany and how diverse were the feelings and opinions about him, even in his own ranks. It would be great to also see some of the inside secrets of the German dictator at the time, although the movie already shows enough. The actor playing Hitler was also pretty good!Nicely done with nice costumes and an incredible cast! Tom Cruze was really really good. I also loved Bill Nighy in his role. It's a movie that you must see!
