  • Watch the official trailer (different to this one) in HD (1080p): watch?v=PGf-A0gMJkQ

  • I just bought the DVD. Good movie and amazing how close they came to employing operation valkyrie. Cruise was a bit of a distraction. Whenever he was on screen I kept thinking about him in Top Gun,

    Definitely worth watching. Second half of the film is great

  • Germans characters speaking English NEVER works. Ruined the film for me

  • I saw this movie because I love and respect Bryan Singer - talented director. "Valkyrie" was ok but I didn't feel the atmosphere of that period in our history. "Enemy at the Gates" (2001) and "Black Book" (2006) were much better films. I actually enjoyed Tom Cruise's performance but he did not take the lead as strongly as he should have. His non-German accent was not an issue it was the strength that he displayed in his performance that was disappointing to many. The supporting cast was superb

  • jew propaganda bullshit.

  • This is a fantastic movie and it is certainly too bad more people aren't interested in history.

  • I wish Bryan Singer had the balls to not make such a one sided movie. Singer is a closet Adolf Hitler fan like most Jews today. They envy Hitler because of the lie they carry around till this day. Singer has made 4 or 5 movies that show German or Nazi history. He should make a true National Socialist movie and leave all the bias Jewish propaganda out.

  • Heil is similar to hail in english

  • No No Heil is a salute hello in German is Hallo and has been for the past 800 or however many years its been around the heil crap was only around wen hitler made everyone say it and this film was great and its funny how they mostly had English accents in it

  • What's all this about the July 20th plot being 'little known'? It's well documented in numerous books, I'd suggest the Ian Kershaw Hitler Biog which goes into it in very considerable detail.

  • downfall. watch it.

  • In fact this is a movie about the most dangerous job imaginable - Killing Hitler

    great movie and great actors

  • BLauerBoo is right. The German Army is now something to be proud of. It embodies what a modern army should be. And the German state is a nation we are proud to be allied with.

  • @Juaxooo yeah the film takes a few liberties with the sort of man Stauffenberg was, ie. in reality he didn't actually give a shit about the Jews and was initially in favour of invading Poland. Even so, it's far more accurate than most Hollywood "true story" movies.

  • If the film and the characters are so accurate why has Von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) got two arms? The real Stauffenberg only had one.

  • @Welthauptstadt1

    He "only" had a missing hand and three fingers left at the other hand. It's all correct here.

  • Yeah, nothing is more satisfying than seeing some American heroes killing German soldiers in the most brutal ways. Even we Germans love to see ourselves being killed. That's why Inglorious Basterds surely was more successful than Valkyrie where Germans actually are portrayed as human beings -- how disgusting, what?

  • The funny thing is: since the student "revolution" in 1968, we've been a very anti-patriotic society rejection all forms of national identity. If Stauffenberg were living today, he would be called a Nazi by all our politically correct reporters, politicians and civil activists who "fight right-wing ideologies" by which they understand patriotism. Present-day Germany is a piece of shit...

  • The word " Heil Hitler comes from the romans.

    If you meet the cesar you have to say " Heil Cesar", because of that the people sayed "Heil Hitler".

    Very simple it isn´t any bad thing.

    But the people think so.

  • Of course every German was not a Nazi. People who think that are not very smart. You don't need a movie to tell you that.

  • im hitler mo fuka you

  • amazing movie!! Colonel von Stauffenberg has really showed the world that not all were like Hitler..He is a hero..

  • hitler didnt die in a murderer because he was blessed by GOD

  • this was a good movie..at least they tried to carry out what they thought needed to be done..

  • I am not at all troubled by the lack of German accents. Doctor Zhivago is an excellent movie about Russia and yet the actors do not have Russian accents. Some of the actors sound English, because they are.

  • This is a powerful movie. I watched the whole thing last night on the DVD I purchased and was deeply moved. What heroes. When others were afraid to try to confront real evil, at least those people tried.

  • @Boelcke1916

    That's why still today new conscripts of the Bundeswehr are put under oath on the day Stauffenberg and Co. were excecuted. They also used to be sworn in in Bendlerblock, the place the execution happened (the court inside today's Ministery of Defence), but they changed the place some years ago so it takes place now in front of parliament, more in the public, to emphasise it's a parlamentarian army. They have to swear by the constitution. Back in war they sweared by Hitler himself!

  • this film is very good cause it shows that not every german was a nazi

  • great movie! too bed they didnt killed him!

  • Was sceptical about this film when you consider such hollywood nonsense as U571 and Titanic.. A great effort, does the guy some justice

  • cruise was way too young looking for this film?

  • @butifarra61

    Not really. Colonel Stauffenberg was only 37 when he was executed.

  • Woo Hoo I just found out Claus von Stauffenberg Is related to me:-) He was my Great Grandfathers first cousin, Not sure what that is to me, 1st cousin 3 times removed or something like that LOL! Not that it matters, I just felt I needed to tell a bunch of people that probably couldn't care less LOL

  • @BoberMcBoberson gratz ^_^

  • @BoberMcBoberson  really?

  • @mjlover339 Yup. It was a shock to me when I found out, because my family's just a bunch of normal people living in a podunk part of P.a LOL!

  • Hitler's dead, right? So I can only assumed that their plan worked.

  • I thought the cast did a great job. The script was outstanding and the direction excellent. Tom Cruise gave a dimension to Von Stauffenberg that deepened my understanding of the events. watch and enjoy full movie at BigOnlineMovies . c o m

  • Tom Cruise's best film to date !

  • the british actors carried this movie..branagh acts cruise off the screen

  • This movie kicked ass!

  • I liked this movie.

    Also, Cruise was really hawt.

  • I googled it, but failed to come up with the definition of "HAWT", what does it mean ???

  • It just means "hot" or like really sexy. I just spell it differently 'cause I'm silly.

  • I see, thanks.

  • seig heil from england

  • Whats "SEIG HEIL" ???

  • "Heil" way a way to say hello in germany ,

    "Petrie Heil" is something you say to Fishermans, "Waldmans Heil" you say to Hunters, and "Sieg Heil" you said, when you saw Hitler, and because "Sieg Heil" Is often associated with Nazis, Germans don't use it anymore today.

  • @KonsolN

    Well yes, but in the Nazi Party, the correct form was one party to to start an introduction with a "Sieg!"-then the other party would reply "Heil!"

  • Its the same like "hail" in english. We don't use it anymore.

  • I love how every time a movie like this comes out in english all the nazis have a english accent instead of a german accent.

  • Comment removed

  • @incubusitis I find it fustrating. Inglorious basterds is a far better film

  • its Valkyrie not valkerie

  • I just finished this movie,and thought it was great! i applaud Von Stauffenberg for what he had the courage to try to do!! Unfortunately he failed,and lost his life,but,nine months later,Hitler committed suicide,THANK GOD!!!!

  • the guy below e can't even spell NAZIS- just thought i might point that out ;P

  • ya srry, messed up...

  • Comment removed

  • i dont like the natzies for what they did BUT they had amazing tactics and great discipline, the only reason they lost was because they were out numbered 1 to 5 and even so they were able to kill 3 times the enemies than they lost, i just wish they used their armies for good not evil...

  • Comment removed

  • r u a fan of hitler?

  • Comment removed

  • i like him for his amazing tactics and the way he disciplined his men, i just dont like him for what he try to do..

  • Suprising, Germans kill their leader? What the hell?

    'Short live the Hitler'

    'Long live the sacred Germany'

  • no they failed all 15 times unfortunatly....

  • Hitler was lucky man. But at the end, he still commits suicide, don't he?

  • 15 known, confirmed attempts. The actual number may be as high as 50.

  • but who know who is good and who is evil.

    i think they are all evil in ww2.

  • Tom Cruse rocks!!! im about to go watch this for the 2nd time. THIS SHIT KICKS ASS

  • @MyMerlin1

    ...and there are also some german actors:

    thomas kretschmann, mathias schweighöfer,

    christian berkel, werner daehn, florian panzner and many more! ; )

  • This film should have been British , they are all british actors apart from Tom Cruise.

  • Carice van houten is also not British, she is dutch.

  • true but should have? why should it have been, amazing movie just watched it! 5 star

  • Tom Cruise is a figurehead of an organisation that is widely believed to be a dangerous cult. While over in Germany recording this film he also had another agenda for the 'Church' of Scientology - trying to get it legally recognised in Germany. It is thought by many that L. Ron Huggards 'Dianetics' outlines practices similar to those of Nazism. Yet some Hollywood personalities wrote an open letter to the German government, accusing it of activities paralleling those of the Nazi regime. Explain?!

  • its great...im became more excite wHen i saw hitler in the movie

  • Boy did they spank that ass.........

  • internet nerd

  • CARICE VAN HOUTEN!! She so deserved this role! To know more about her, just check the movie Zwartboek (Blackbook)

    Dutch production, international succes!

  • Bad movie.

    Tom Cruise surely looks like Stauffenberg but Cruise lacks the ability to adjust to his role.

    If Stauffenberg would have acted that disloyally all the time, he would have never got a chair in the same table as Hitler.

    They speak british-english and american-english?? They should atleast have accents.

    And alot of pro-USA in a one movie.

    They were german officers and loyal to Germany not to Hitler or USA.

  • definetly oscar worthy

  • good movie.

    staufenberg is a real Hero!!!

  • wasn't Tom Cruise a good choice because he actually looked like Stauffenberg or something? i remember reading something like that

  • yes he does look like the real guy

  • ok i am not affiliated with nazis in any way.....

    does any one else find the german uniform attractive ,especially the hat? and do they still look like that?

    or am i just disturbed?

  • i do,.. though i do not support nazi ideology,i love nazi uniform,decipline,music,public­ ceremony,weapons,architecture etc

  • my grandfather has still his original uniform and this uniform is really attractive xD

  • wow! do u ever try it on?

  • haha :D no

  • " God bless our holy (= democratic) Germany!"

    German soldiers of nowadays make their jobs

    with this spirit of Colonel Stauffenberg in their minds.

  • Fuck Adolf fucking Hitler!!

  • TRAITOR von Stauffenberg is a HERO of JEWISH-HOLLYWOOD..!

    lol

  • @7HitlerWasRight  man your another patethic ignorant person

  • lol

  • I disagree I think Tom Cruise did an execellant job of protraying the Coronel Stufenberg I don't think anyone else would have been a better choice...the move was FANTASTIC!!!!

  • i think that was the worst choice

    between his ideology and the nazi-ideology are not many differences

    so ot is really stupid that tom cruise played stauffenberg

  • your rite tom cruise did a great job the film is great!!!

  • decent movie..

    but i agree, i dont think cruise was the best choice for the part. i have never liked his acting, to me he is just tom cruise in a movie!

    2 cents!

  • Great flick that brings to mind the old Alistair MacClean novel..

  • this was a pretty good movie...i just hate the last part..

    this movie has a lot of information of hitler..

  • Trust me. When Americans hear fake German accents we think Hogan's Heros and it loses all legitimacy.

  • I like how the actors look similar to the characters their playing. to feel like its the real thing.

    Their failing to kill Hitler wasn't their fault. If the guy didn't move the bag on the otherside of the table leg he would've died.

    In the end waiting to be executed, watching the people who once stood beside you, who you knew for years be shot and killed with in seconds then dragged away. Knowing that would be you soon.

    Its a scary thought and the world is a scary place.

  • I never understood why they do that in movies. Not having accents and then speaking English in totally non English speaking countries/periods of time. It kinda ruins the realism and you can't get that involved in the movie.

  • Haha yeah, when Hitler started talking I was like "Nah, I've had it with this rubbish".

    But for the longest time before that I was REALLY confused because I didnt recall anything from history about Americans fighting for Nazi Germans in WW2! Then I finely realized that theyre not supposed to really be Americans at all!! WHAT THE FUCK!?

  • "This is a common gimmick with Hollywood movies. If the story takes place in a foreign country, where the main language isn't English the characters will start by speaking their native language but then switch to English. This is to suggest that they ARE still speaking German but we HEAR English."

  • According to those who know the story the movie is remarkably accurate.

    And yes, the dialogue is in English - it's an American movie for American audiences so obviously it's English. I would much rather hear their normal speaking voices than try some stupid sounding fake German accent. There is a dubbed version if you must have German.

  • See.. This is my point exactly. People's logic seems to scare me more and more lately..

  • yeah i was just reading something in a history magazine about it and was surprised how accurate it was

  • If you look at the credits some of them acting are actually from Germany born and raised and in England.

    Marilyn

  • no hitler = no1 to face the soviets, and stalin takes a third of the world or half

  • im german but hitler seems like sum1 retated nd i dislike him juz by hearin bout him i have a friend whos a jew nd shes like a sister to me stupid hitler poor anne frank

  • Its stupid what he did but he was sort of smart the way he could get all of the ppl on his side and get elected. But what he did was very stupid

  • He was an evil guy but a good politician

  • The only bad thing about this movie is the fact people already know how it ends.

    Even with that being said, it will get you to sympathize with the characters, observe every frame, listen every sound, every line from the credits till the very end. These days, that's very rare in movies, even those you don't know the ending. And that's saying something.

    If you dislike Tom Cruise, let him slide. I give you my word, you will not be disappointed by his performance and this movie.

  • I agree. I like the movie as well.

    As far as the people who don't want to see this movie just b/c of Tom Cruise I only have to ask what is wrong with you?

    It's not like he's a political scientist or anything. It's not really a big deal what his beliefs are. There are billions of people in this world and if someone spent time dwelling on what everyone thought you would drive yourself mad. Just don't pay attention.

  • I wished Hitler was killed when the bomb blasted. So Germany wouldn't have to suffer another 9 months.

    I watched this movie yesterday and it was AWESOME. I almost cried towards the end.

  • germany suffered because everbody failed to allie with the great country!

  • well everyhing was well planed but too ba d it didnt work :( this should happen on april the 20th....

  • no it should not have! yeah lets kill the greatest leader in history you moron!

  • oh yeah I remember they where filming some scenes near my house in Pasadena,CA in this church named "westminster prespiterian" on Lake ave... But I was not a big fan of Tom cruise to go look for him :(

  • It is too bad that so many feel the need to be uncivil in their discussions on this and other topics. When I run into people like that who e-mail me hateful put downs, I feel sorry for them. Being a jerk to others just does nothing to advance an argument or a viewpoint.

    Here's an idea ... how about trying to be respectful of others? Wouldn't we all be better off?

  • from what i gather in the holocaust here's the groups who were in the death camps tell me if i miss any

    -Jews

    -Gypsies

    -Homosexuals

    -Anti German

    -Mentally ill

  • People who were physically or mentally disabled, had a missing body part, people with unibrows.

  • This is a nice little featurette, imbecile, it is NOT the trailer.

  • you don't believe in the holocaust?

  • behind the scenes,WHOAHOAH!!!

  • Hitler is awesome bitch!

  • hitler's bday was yesterday!

  • hmm ..hitlers birthday is on the 20th of april...

  • I wouldn't go that far. Still, I like Henning von Tresckow and Hans Oster more likable than Stauffenberg for that reason. Oster revealed invasion date to Netherlands before Western campaign and rescued Jews from deportation. Tresckow began to plot against Nazis at latest by September 1941 in response to Nazi holocaust. Now, neither of them were true democrats, but I think one can still admire what is admirable. It takes guts to try to kill Hitler.

  • BTW, it is outright false to claim tht he wanted to beat Europe after deposing Hitler. He wanted to preseve pre-war German border, which is wrong obviously, but ending the war was paramount concern for him.

  • Besides, by July 20, 1944, anyone with brain knew that Germany lost all bargaining chips. Allies would not negotiate with post-Hitler regime, so there was no political purpose to be served with the coup. It really was to end war and stop senseless deaths.

  • That's certainly not true for Tresckow and Stauffenberg. Tresckow planned to kill Hitler already in autumn 1941 - because of the Nazi mass murders especially of the Jews - when the German army was on the advance. And Stauffenberg declared he was ready to kill Hitler in September 1942 - well before the defeat of Stalingrad.

    The director Bryan Singer - by the way jewish - has very intensely studied the facts before making the film. I recommend to read Wikipedia (and other sources).

  • That movie was totally badass!!!!! w00t!!!!!

  • bill nigh the science guy! i think

  • Comment removed

  • these films are much more realistic if they are in the native language,downfall is an example,its good

  • I haven't seen Valkyrie so far, unfortunately, so I can't judge this.

    But here in the cinemas it is in German anyway, so this won't be a problem for us ^^. I watched Downfall (Der Untergang) though and I agree with you.

    At least many Germans complained that Hollywood makes a movie about our past and feared this one could become a typical Hollywood-epic, far from reality. As far as i have heard it didn't.

    At least also many foreigners get to know the story about Stauffenberg now.

    ^^

  • You're right, but most English speakers get scared of foreign languages (i.e. non Hispanic Yanks and Brits), hence the negative votes against you.

  • Enjoyed this film and the acting was great. However, it does not really mention what kind of future for Germany these resistance members wanted. They of course despised Hitler, yet many were militarist conservatives who wanted 1914 borders retained under truce with the west. While i sympathise with their aims generally, it is important to realise that just because they opposed Hitler they were not all happy clappy 21st century libertarians!

  • yes, it's right what you are saying.

    they were of course anything but democrats ^^.

    but at least a murder of hitler in 1944 could have saved so many lives! if i remember right, in the last year of war as many people died as in all the years before together!

    there is one advantage of the real outcome of this. we don't know what germany would look like today if it hadn't been defeated destructively. so maybe a less evil dictatorship had followed. as a german i am happy in our today's germany!

  • While i'm not German nor European nor even American but this movie make me think that Stauffenberg is a decent person.

    What Hilter did was really over the top. In that world that has gone mad. It's rather heartening to see that there are sane people around even in the Nazis.

  • Well sorry about that. You can go back to your pointless car explosions and sex scenes now if that's what you want.

  • stop being retarded

  • Very good movie!! Cruise played great,I don't understand why they cricitize him so much,he played really great!!

  • This is a good movie.

  • Ich fand Tom Cruise schon immer Scheiße in all seinen Filmen (arrogant und überheblich). Auch bevor heraus kam das er ein Superstar in dieser tollen Sekte war. Mit diesen Film hat er den Vogel abgeschossen!! Es passt nicht!!! Der Film ist nur auf Action ausgelegt und wiederspricht der Wahrheit. Naja wer weiß was der Herr Tom damit bezwecken wollte!!

  • it was a courageous and noble act by Stauffenberg and his group, but quite late.

    There was a plot to kill Hitler in 1939 - which failed by 10 Minutes -carried out by a single man (Elser). On that evening it was foggy in Munich, so Hitler could not fly back to Berlin and instead returned earlier with the night train. Pure bad luck: I guess with Hitler dead so early in the war there would have been no war with Russia and no Holocaust - a completely different course of history.

  • i love this movie it shows that not all nazis were like Hitler

  • but all nazis are nazis

  • Yes, the SS - but the regular army ("Wehrmacht") was heterogenous: some ardent Nazis, many careerists who followed any order, but also many traditional officers who disliked or despised the Nazis and their heinous crimes. I guess not only fear, but also group pressure (the "oath","We cannot foul our own nest") often

    prevented resistance.

    Tresckow even asked Manstein and other field marshals to help topple Hitler: They did not betray him, but

    refused - probably fearing for their career.

  • Look up "German Resistance" on Wikipedia. There has been Nazi opposition to Hitler since before World War II. The German Nazi Party was an honest political group until Hitler took over.

  • Look up on Wikipedia? LOL.... Any asshole can post a story as "fact" on Wiki... find a more reliable source, and then back it up with at least two more reliable sources... Wiki....LOL

  • In fact ,not all germans were nazis. Only 80 % of them did option to fight with the western civilization ... ( too late for excuses ,baby).

  • "NO DOUBT IT WAS A CRIMINAL STATE " -Albert Speer , at Nuremberg Trial.

  • i cant watch a historical movie about such an important figure of german history in english with tom cruise and from someone who made superman returns

  • The movie is actually very good, but I know what you know. Cruise doesn't deserve to playt Stauffenberg

  • I agree. What if aliens would have taken both Hitler and Himmler?

  • Don't discuss "What If" - Nobody will ever know.. +!

    What if they had killed Hitler? Someone else, could have taken the power, and then the war might not have ended like it did. What if(!) Hitler got killed, and this Himler, took over, and he managed to make the whole word ruled by germany? - "What if?!"

  • They did try to kill Hitler already in march 1943! So in 20.7.1944 they just tried again. Even in 1944 they could have saved up to 10 million lives..

  • If Hitler died in 1943-44, in charge there would be Himler

  • peacefulman123 (1 dag geleden) Toon Verbergen  0 Gemarkeerd als spam Antwoorden | Spam If Hitler died in 1943-44, in charge there would be Himler

    He is right

  • Best WWII movie I've seen in years! FANTASTIC!!! It almost pains me to say it, private lives aside (just as they should be) Cruise was amazing!
