Movie Review: Valkyrie

2 06 2009

So my roommate left me with her Valkyrie rental because I had been dying to see it – I love all things WWII. My friend came over, we cracked open a beer and decided to watch it. Two major actor/character conflicts come up for me:

1) I cannot look at Tom Cruise in a serious role, because whenever I look at him I see scientology (which is a joke) and him jumping on Oprah’s yellow couch (which was stupid). His antics ruined his career for me.

2) What was with Hitler? That actor looked nothing like him. You can’t just take any guy, give him a hairdo and a stache and call him Hitler. It was way off. Also, pretty sure Hitler didn’t have a British accent. Correct me if I’m wrong.

It was a good movie…suspenseful and not boring for the 2 hours. It wasn’t very realistic that everyone was speaking perfect english all the time, but whenever the women were typing messages, they were in German. I liked the way the movie Black Book was all in German, with English subtitles. Made it a little bit more real.

Sieg heil!
