The fading in and out trailer was a bit annoying, otherwise it looks good. Not sure about Cruise in the role, but I'll reserve my opinions till 2008 and the complete movie.

I agree with that. I think the idea is pretty unique, the cinematography looks good, and i hope it will be good despite Tom Cruise. (not a big fan) I'm very hopeful, though.

was it me or did I just see the whole movie. Looks a little lame

The von Stauffenberg story is fairly well known (like going to see Titanic), so it's more about the actual "journey" through the film that we're going to see.

Looks good, but hopefully an updated trailer will sell it to me definitley.

Um, isn't tom cruise's character supposed to have a german accent! he looks ok in the role but damn it, the fact that he is speaking without a german accent is just plain ridiculous and has turned me off the movie entirely what was bryan singer thinking, did he just tell tom to just go for it!! I hope he doesn't make mistakes like that for the next superman sequel.

God Tom Cruise's accent is horrible.

I agree with pradeep it's a real turn off for me as well.

As usual they have Americanised the movie for the American audience.

Who will probably find it exciting because they don't know anything about Operation Valkyrie or the war, save the references they have learned up from lame movies like this one.

bleh.

I should probably add…

Two good, really excellent war movies are Die Letzten Tage which is about Sophie Scholl, and Untergang,Der (or in English known as Downfall)

Superb acting, brilliant performances.

Valkyrie will sweep the box office because of Tom……. but it will pale in comparison quality wise to these two movies, rated 8.5 and 8 stars respectively on IMDB.

Trust the guy who handled X men to handle a stiff topic like this one.

bleh.

Well J, Bryan Singer is much more than a superhero movie director. Remember Apt Pupil and The Usual Suspects? He did a pretty good job on both of those movies. And also, he's back with Chris McQuarrie, so Valkyrie is like a The Usual Suspects reunion. I can't wait to see this movie, though Tom is a turnoff, Bryan Singer does an amazing job with thrillers.

Actors using foreign accents sound ridiculous when not done well - I prefer that they not use accents which they aren't capable of pulling off.

It's interesting the British actors accents don't raise any eyebrows, only Tom's. Well, it does stand out from the rest with it's "Maverick" tones…

We've had Kev Costner as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (which did cause a stink); Sean Connery's Scottish Russian Captain in Hunt for Red October (didn't think about his accent after a while). I'm sure there are many other instances.

Let's see how the movie plays before passing too harsh a judgment

My problem with this film is not Tom Cruise's accent (or any of the others for that matter). It's just Tom Cruise. Why does an American have to have the lead role. There are many fine European actors that could do the job so much better. I suppose in the end, it's not about art, it's about money.

Well, this movie is already hitting nerves, including mine. At least some of the fools in this blog are. Who thought Tom Cruise was a great actor 2 or 3 years ago?; and don't lie. Everybody did, that's who. Everybody can take the easy route & judge him for his personal life. I've been guilty of that. I don't agree with Scientologists. There, I said it. But you know what, he's still one of the greatest actors of our time. By the way, to the Dumbasses that had comments about the missing German accent in the film. Nazi's did not have German accents. They spoke German. I'll guess that many of us do not want to read subtitles for 2 & a half hours. Do you want to know why an American landed the lead role Barbara? Because this is an American made film genius.

Sinner on Dec 29, 2007

Gee, sorry sinner. I wasn't sent the memo that said an American film had to star an American. I'll keep that in mind, next time I see a movie starring an Australian, Brit, Canadian, etc., etc. I'll just take it at your word the movie is made in the lead actors home country. Good enough for ya, 'genius'.

Now you're gettin' it.

You are 100% correct about the many talented European actors in the business. Unfortunately that statement is more than a little vague when discussing accents. Europe has more diverse accents than any other continent by far which causes a problem with your "logic" Pitch me just one, well known, "German" actor that studies & prepares for a role more thoroughly than Cruise. To the point of building a characters back-story, pre-script, in order to immediately deliver a reaction or emotion specifically from his character & not himself. Can other actors do this just as well? Yes, very few. Can other actors do this better? I say no.

Then again, that's just me. Who cares what I think, right Barbara? I'm just trying to kill some time @ work.

Looks really good apart from Tom Cruise being in it (He cant act) there's always a big fucking grin on his bake.

They should of got Bale or even hugh jackman for the part.

I only ever liked 1 film of Tom cruise and that was War Of The Worlds

Still going to see it tho.

Believe it or not, I'm not a huge Cruise fan either but you guys are full of shit. He's one of the best actors of our time. A few years ago everyone would agree with this but too many let the tabloids and his personal life cloud their judgement. The reality is that this has not changed. Top Gun, Born On the Fourth of July, Interview w' the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, The Last Samurai, all great movies & my personal favorites. He's also worked w' some of the best. (Jack Nicholson, Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris etc.) You're right, he can't act. Bullshit! These are the elite. Do you actually think they would work with Cruise if he wasn't a great actor? The answer is "hell no". Give me a break!

look he's shite and i bet u do like him.

Watch War of the Worlds and u will see what i mean. Aliens is killing people all around him and he's standing there watching it happen while grining like a Cat. Good film - Bad Acting

Tom Cruise………………. more like Tom Hanks, now thats someone who can act

War of the Worlds sucked faggot.

Sinner on Jan 5, 2008

Actually, War of the Worlds was OK. I just don't like David.

The funniest thing about this; there is no way I'm seeing this movie. It might be good but it's not the type of movie I'd spend money to see. Tom Cruise should get on First Showing and defend himself so I don't have to. Blog wars are fun though, aren't they? FIN.

At first when I saw the name of this video. I thought the band Angels And Airwaves made a video.
