Great movie! I saw it last night at the new theater up the street. It's tells the true story of an assassination plot against Hitler. Although anybody with any bit of historical knowledge of World War II knows that Hitler wasn't assassinated and the attempt didn't succeed, the movie still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat. I especially enjoyed the eerie feeling that surrounded Hitler and the Nazi's. The level of organaztion and control that Hitler had over Germany was insane. When you couple that with his desire to exterminate entire races of people and take over the world, you feel lucky that he didn't succeed.

Tom is a Scientologist. I can't get that out of my head every time I see him now. And that's all I would be able to think about if I were to watch the movie.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I just cant stand Tom. It sucks, I know. Usually Im all over a WWII movie but I cant picture Tom being a nazi, and I cant stand him as a person so Im not even thinking of seeing this when it comes out on cable.

Ze Germans weren't to thrilled with it by based on a few headlines I read. Then again, I'm sure they weren't to happy with Tommy boy playing Stauffenberg, their only hero of the 20th century. Didn't Germany open litigation against the Institution of Scientology for fraud or something not to long ago...?
He's an ok actor but he comes across as full of himself. That image of him doing that interview also comes to mind LOL!!!
The History Channel recently came out with a show on Valkyrie.

Tom didn't even bother with a German accent and the Nazi officers don't wear arm bands? There's practically no swastikas in the whole movie, if any. Sham IMO.Advanded Delphin Division

Thats wat i was thinking.
O and to those who says that Germans didnt like Scientology, well it goes a step further. They didnt want Tom Cruise to play that role.

I'll be straight up with you and tell you I haven't even seen the movie. But I heard it's nothing but Nazi apologia. IE don't think the Nazis were as bad as they are made out to be. But I also heard it's a good movie so I'm not sure. I'll probably go see it eventually.Advanded Delphin Division

It's about the plot against Hitler and the communication and drama between the people involved. It doesn't show Jews getting slaughtered, because it's not about the Holocaust. It doesn't show huge battles, because it's not about the War. Everybody knows that Hitler and the Nazis were evil, the movie doesn't need to spell it out for people. Watch it before you make judgments. It was a great movie in my opinion and history buffs like myself should enjoy it.
Also, all the drama between Cruise and the German government was cleared up and the German government official who originally spoke out against Cruise playing the part actually apologized.Comment
