Well for anyone that goes and sees it you get to hear Cruise speaking in actual German for 3 of 4 sentences in the beginning. I enjoyed it. Not terrible and not great. Just good entertainment IMO.

Pretty much a boring movie. The climax was terrible and the buildup to the failed up attempt was pretty boring.
The whole accent thing is a problem. Why some Germans speak German, others speak English with their normal accents is stupid.
We were joking around that it would've been easy to know who was plotting against Hitler, they all had non-German accents and appeared not to ever speak German except in reading part of a letter as a narrative.
Some characters were underused (e.g. the Pirates of the Caribbean guy from the Wolf's Lair) while there was too much focus on others the other Pirates guy.
1/5

Just saw this for the first time - wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Cruise was like a robot, and the story seemed a bit choppy.

Just saw this. It was slow at times but I liked this movie. What I liked was it showed that Hitler didn't have unanimous support amungst Germans (high ranking ones at that). I don't think that is ever portrayed enough in movies and people tend to stereo type the Germans as having blind unanimous backing of Hitler which wasn't the case. There were I think 15 attempts on his life or something like that?

I liked the movie. Not the best acting but entertained me. But I am a World War 2 nut so I like anything in that genre.

I thought the film was very good. The accent thing didn't bother me at all. After the first few minutes you get into the story and I didn't really notice it. It definitely wasn't a distraction, IMO.
Good acting all around, even from Cruise. I was impressed with the historical accuracy also.

If you want to see a really good German movie about Hitler, look no further than Der Untergang (Downfall).
It's the movie where all the Youtube spoofs (Dallas Cowboys etc..) came from.
Great movie.
Bruno Ganz portrayal of Hitler is amazing, as were all the other actors.
