Don't let your guard down this Christmas childrens, we've got us a crazed Nazi dictator to kill! Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2, Superman Returns) directs Operation Valkyrie, starring
This guy:
Is a colonel with an eye patch and a pipe bomb who has just plain had enough of that ole Hitler and his mismanagement.
Also these guys were there
Shakespeare
British Christopher Walken
Carmine Falcone
and Eddie Izzard?
Together, they fight Hitler! Here is the trailer out in theaters now:
So, what do you guys think of a movie about a German war hero played by an American, surrounded by British actors, done in English? I like Singer, but it seems like this is a film that Germany should make, not something with a few Germans thrown in for good measure. The July 20th plot to kill Hitler is a very interesting, very cool story (and it's true!), and it's a shame that Germans won't be able to tell it themselves.
Although, Cruise does look eerily similar to the real guy
Also, if you want to discuss any other big Christmas releases you can do that too I guess.

he's a decent actor
not great, but certainly not anywhere near as bad as some of you bitches make him out to be
I really liked the war of the worlds remake.
Why is the man cocking his gun with the side of that desk??
But then, I enjoy stuff like Minority Report.
Secret Satan
His hat does seem rather large.
I liked it too
Even though Justin Chatwin's character was a punk ass
I'm not going to see a shitty film just because someone I respect is in it
He also throws a Spirit Bomb at Hitler, but it takes him 5 episodes to power up and Hitler runs away to his bunker.

It's the tards around here who are RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE about a religion that they think is crazy

All the "good" nazis are speaking with british accents
Tom Cruise doesn't even make an attempt either way. What the fuck is an American doing in Nazi germany in a Nazi uniform in a movie that isn't Force 10 from Navarrone and isn't Harrison Ford?
Only the bit players sound like actual Germans.
Lazy bums. Across the board.
I hadn't seen the trailer linked in the OP. The one showing on TV makes the movie look like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
but minority report was great, and everyone who doesn't think so is a faggot?
So are all religions
So is believing that the universe just started
I'm not taking any side here, but it gets annoying when I hear athiests and zealots alike preaching about how impossible the opposition is
That doesn't matter, what matters is that there is a movie coming out and it may or may not be fun to watch in the theater.

welll
he does come across as a bit of a retard all by himself
This is kind of what I was getting at. I like Cruise, but, I mean, were all the actors just like "Fuck it man, fuck these accents". The story is great, but I think you at least have to have german accents, and I would prefer the entire movie just be in german and have it subtitled.
But I guess that doesn't really make a blockbuster
If you're referring to the main character, he lost his right hand after being strafed by the British in Africa. He also lost some fingers off list left hand.
this movie is probably going to rock ass
This skit is amazing
I see your point and would like to buy you a cookie.
also make lots more money
but I think at least one goal is noble here
Brilliant!

Yeah, I think you're right. But, I mean, Branagh? That fucker is Great Britain incarnate. I mean it's like Singer was trying to find the least german people ever.
But yes I will definitely be seeing this because jesus I love Branagh
I want to see this movie, but I saw the trailer. I was put off by the british accents flying around like this was the Death Star circa 1942, but then when Tom Cruise opened his mouth it was suddenly oh look The Last Samurai Goes to Nazi Germany.
People can shit over actors who try to do accents like DiCaprio in Blood Diamond, but when the fuck did people start subscribing to the Ben Affleck school of acting? You lazy bastards. Prepare for a fucking role. Learn some German. At the very least turn your Ws into Vs even if in the end you come across sounding like Elmer Fudd with a lisp, a speech impediment, and cerebral palsy.
you know how we feel about cocking guns
It would be an entirely different movie if Hanz P Germany and his brothers played the roles of the nazis as opposed to hollywood. Like it's been mentioned already, possibly more "accurate" for a given value of accurate however but it's not as if they had to make sweeping changes to the story to accomodate any of the actors. Except maybe where Tom has to stand on phonebooks to look anyone in the eye.
