      I refuse to watch a Tom Cruise movie, let alone a trailer. In fact, I have a couple of his movies in my DVD library, that I haven't watched since his nonsensical diatribe about Brooke Shields and post-natal depression. Anyone want them?? They are free…and, they don't even have to go to a good home. lol



    5. 5

      The movie itself looks very interesting. I find it almost impossible to imagine Cruise and his cohorts being German when he can't even pronounce the word "Führer" correctly. That alone may ruin the whole ambience of the movie.



    6. 6

      yeah, i mean, I'll watch it streaming, thats about it



    7. 7

      I am intrigued…. can't wait! Seriously!



    8. 8

      it looks goood!



    9. 9

      Looks good. The end of that trailer was about as unoriginal as you can get though.



    10. 10

      looks pretty good to me!



    11. 11

      It looks really good, well worth the wait. Good guys in Nazi uniforms..yuum



    12. 12

      I love movies from that time era. It looks good. I'd see it.



    13. 13

      as much as I hate tom cruise, i have to admit it looks like a good movie. but I guess we already know that his character fails in trying to assassinate Hitler.



    14. 14

      I definitely want to see it!



    15. 15

      Looks very shiteous! Tom Cruise needs to retire!

      yeah… I'll definitely shell out the ticket price to see it. Looks pretty intriguing.
      .
      Any old German grandpa will tell you that there were Germans who were adamantly against Hitler. I'm glad there's a movie made about that.

      This movie is gonna be AMAZING



    20. 20

      I hate to admit it but it looks like a good one. I'll wait till the reviews come out to watch it tho. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan but if it's a good one I can't miss it.



    21. 21

      A Nazi with an American accent?

      Come on, you have to at least try.



    22. 22

      Doesn't look that bad to me.



    23. 23

      wow, I think this i going to be really good!



    24. 24

      This looks feaking intense…

      I'm between the good/bad intense… I think that if Tom Cruise wasn't the lead, I'd be MORE excited abuo it… Buuuut… I looks like a movie I could watch with my dad :]



    25. 25

      This movie looks really Good!

      I am really looking forward to it!!

      We All make fun of Tom Cruise these days - BUT - This Movie Looks Great!



    26. 26

      as much as tom cruise is a complete douche as a person..he is a good actor. People just find it hard to seperate the actor from the person. Which is why careers burn out.

      The film does look interesting and is probably very good. Sadly most will skip it simply because of teh actor in it



    27. 27

      At least they stayed cleared of those bad fake german accents Hollywood has tortured us moviegoers with for the last 50-60 years.

      Go to a cinema and watch it, no. Download it and watch it, perhaps.



    28. 28

      looks pretty good, and I hate Tom Cruise



    29. 29

      I'd stream it for sure. Supporting Tom Cruise and co? no thanks, pirating is less damaging to my self respect than feeding a cult of opportunistic hyporites who break families apart on a routine basis and encourage people to stop taking medication. Lie detector tests? Thetans? The last thing the world needs a a band spanking new religion to tear us apart and hurt us from the inside. Long live humanity, Tom Cruise, hopefully shorter.

      Re: Anonymous – Can't Wait!

      By the way Anonymous, I'll take the Tom Cruise DVD's. I'll even pay for shipping!



    31. 31

      So yeah pirate the hell out of this fucker when it comes out.



    32. 32

      I am actually interested in the movie, however can you get the aspect ratio right, its not supposed to be in square 4:3 shape you moron its in widescreen get your video together you are probably one of those morons that doesn't understand whey there are black bars at the top and bottom of your older tv.



    33. 33

      I hate Tom Cruise, but the movie itself looks good.I won't be shelling out $12 to see it though, Ill be downloading it.



    34. 34

      Sorry, not excited!! :(



    35. 35

      Why do they speak English? I don't like that. That's not authentic. I want german nazis.



    36. 36

      I want to see it because it looks good and Carice van Houten is in it!! She is a Dutch moviestar, and in Hollywood an upcoming star!! At least, that's what I hope :) I am curious how she acts in this movie, but i think it's already great for her she got this part in such a big movie (and some more, look at imdb)

      Btw, people should stop saying all those things about Tom Cruise, i mean, get over it already! So he jumped on a couch, was crazy in love and is a little weird with his believes, but whatever, i mean its been a long time ago and he is an actor at the end of the day. i want to see him in good movies and not talk about his personal life or character, that actually nobody really knows something about. It's not like he did really crazy things (like britney, amy etc) or hurts anyone. People like hating, but you have people like heidi and spencer for that:p Hating tom cruise is so 2007!:p

      37

      looks really good, i will be going to see it



    38. 38

      The cult scientologist is in a nazi movie? how ironic!



    39. 39

      I think it looks really,really good. Tom Cruise is a great actor. Really funny in Tropic Thunder.



    40. 40

      Is he supposed to be German? Why does he have an american accent? I mean, come on, Tommy!



    41. 41

      That actually looks really good. I'm interested in this topic so I'll probably go see it. I hope it's a hit, he needs one!



    42. 42

      Tom Cruise baaaaaaaaaaaad, Carice van Houten goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!! CARICE CARICE CARICE!!!!!!



    43. 43

      i think t looks really good. tom cruise may be crazier than my mother-in-law but he can still act



    44. 44

      it actually looks pretty good, it would be even better if that freak wasn't in it.



    45. 45

      Why is that "controversial" lol
      Oh how numb our country has become.



    46. 46

      This movie looks WAAAAAAY too hollwood. I've seeen many Nazi/WWII movies, and this does not look very realistic at all



    47. 47

      Had stomach cramps all day, now that I watch this trailer, it help me take a good shitz, thanks Tommy, can always depend on you to make people want to shitz.



    48. 48

      More sensationalised Hollywood bullshit accounts of history…

      I get it. It can be done well, but…Tom Cruise??
      Your movie deserves to blow now.



    49. 49

      Tom Cruise is no Jerry Reed, SON! Perez, where's the Paul Newman obit? I'm sure if Luke Perry died we'd see that shit all over your site (lol)… but The Hustler gets nothing…wonderful. Fucking MOOSE PISS!



    50. 50

      wouldn't you think that a German officer would have a GERMAN ACCENT? Tom should've had an accent instead of sounding like an american scientologist!



    51. 51

      It looks great. Tom Cruise is weird, but he's still damn sexy. I can't wait to see it.



    52. 52

      Tom Cruise is a very good actor and that movie is based on TRUE facts. Can't wait to see it although we know that the plot failed. But still it is good to know there were some Germans who were ready to take chances to get rid of Hitler.



    53. 53

      Tom Cruise is weird, but the man can act. Looks fabulous.



    54. 54

      Re: Faux Pas Aside
      Nobody cares. In Gladiator the Roman royal family spoke with British accents. ???? but nobody gave a shit.



    55. 55

      WHACK!!! where's the accent?
      if not german AT LEAST a british.
      damn…he seriously has been underlooked all this time.
      he CAN'T act!!!



    56. 56

      Yawn. And I wont spend a dime to watch anything Tom Cruise because of his Scientolocult. He's insane.



    57. 57

      I'm going to see it.

      This movie was a pathetic attempt for the cult and Cruise to woe the Germans. It won't work, Germany have the sence to know a totalitarian organisation when they see one. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough Tom?
      I'm not going to see it because I won't pay a penny to fund the cult of Scientology. I wouldn't even bother with a copy as the word around this is that it's a stinker!

      59

      Please . . . . . don't any of you know this? this is History. I mean the trailer pretty much gives you the plot. But history should tell you the rest. Remember the family of Cruise's character is very upset with his casting. Imagine your grandfather kissing your mother or father good-bye, and then Tom Cruise being cast. Look up what the Nazi's did to those poor men in the Valkyrie plot. But don't read it if you want to sleep!



    60. 60

      looks intense(:



    61. 61

      He should have tried to have an accent to make it more german and not so american

      im going to see it lokks good to me and very intresting!!



    63. 63

      I hate to say this, but it looks good.



    64. 64

      lovesit



    65. 65

      im still pissed at brian singer for not doing x-men 3…



    66. 66

      I think it was the History channel, I watched this documentry on the attempt of killing hitler before he came into power, but it never went as planned. In this documentry they reinacted the whole scenerio with the room, the table, whether the windows were shut etc…it was quite fasinating because the bomb in the briefcase that was to kill hitler was put underneath a table next to the leg. Hitler was never killed, just injured. According to the experiments, if the briefcase had been put on the other side of that table leg…he would have died.



    67. 67

      Looks like it might be good, I'd see it!



    68. 68

      Might be good



    69. 69

      It actually turns my stomach to see a little weasel like Cruise play a true hero like von Stauffenberg. In my opinion, it dishonors the memory of all those who have risked or given their lives to fight tyranny, injustice, and oppression.



    70. 70

      I HATE Tom Cruise. He is truly vile.

      We all know how he `auditioned' for a new wife, sad old freak, i bet he can't get it up with a woman anyway. And he blatantlt dumped Nicole for a younger model. He sucks.



    71. 71

      It looks like a really good film. Probably one of Tom Cruise's best…



    72. 72

      To my surprise it looks really interesting. I´m not a Cruise fan but I think I´ll go see this movie.



    73. 73

      I am SO bored with WWII movie topics!! Despite that drawback, this movie looks extremely well made. HOWEVER, the presence of Tom Cruise here means that I would never watch it even if it looked thrilling and like an oscar contender.



    74. 74

      Love it, Im in.

      75

      I just feel too strongly about how he is influencing anyone and everyone to join his cult. :( I feel like any money I spend at his money might go towards the demeaning of another persons life and I just can not do it. He is over for me.



    76. 76

      I love tom Cruise. I am a christian- (my business) He is a scientologist (his business) Why do people judge other people for their own beliefs?? It should be personal!! My Church speaks in tounge, (I don't)….. the whole world is a bit crazy…… he is an ACTOR and I will always love him for the roles he has played and the work he has done…. he is a pretty generous philanthrpist as welll but that's not as news worthy.

      I will see the film!



    77. 77

      Why DID he take a National Hero For Germany and Not even use One German Accent? Why? Isn't that a bit disrespectful? Tom has an An American accent, The rest have English accents. I think He has ruined another movie, Tom. Even The man the movie is about, his Grandson DID NOT want Tom cruise to play his Grandfather, He thought it was going to be awful and I'm Pretty sure he's right. I for one WILL NOT see this Movie!



    78. 78

      What a lazy, half-assed production, and shame on Cruise. Seriously. If you're going to play a german, and going to have a bunch of Nazi's in a WWII era movie, DON'T, for the love of god, have them SPEAKING PERFECT ENGLISH. What the crap? What, is Cruise too lazy (or uncommitted) to dive a little deeper in the role, get a speech coach, and at least TRY to SOUND the part? He could have at least attempted an accent.

      I bet they don't even have the balls to really show Hitler himself, for fear of people finding it unnerving or some crap (it's been 60+ years and people are STILL so touchy about someone even depicting the guy!)….
      if you're going to do it, at least freakin' do it right, Tom. All I'm saying.



    79. 79

      TOM CRUISE has NO acting range…all he can play is "the angry hero"
      And since his reputation has been going down he desperatly tries to gain public favor for him and his CULT. His "look i'm funny" cameo in Tropic Thunder and playing a Nazi with a conscience (subtext: "Hey Germany, come join the cult") are only the latest episodes of the "TOM CRUISE SHOW"

      Re: zach – The Gemans did follow Hitler just like the Americans followed Bush to the Weapons of Massdestruction in Irak

      Re: Ü!!!SEMICOLON!!!bergeist

      There you'll see the difference between class (Clint Eastwood - Letters from IwoJima) and mainstream (Tom Cruise - Vakyrie)…

      Re: cyclefreak
      Scientology is no CHURCH…it's an organized CULT and Tom Cruise was never a philanthropist (Paul Newman was!)



    80. 80

      hope its good



    81. 81

      i'm not a big fan of tom cruise but i've gotta say, the trailer really did its job. now i can't wait to see the movie… it sure piqued my interest:D hopefully, it wouldn't bomb at the box office.



    82. 82

      Re: zach – There are many movies already about von Stauffenberg and this episode of history btw. American ones, German ones… I watched the German one (Stauffenberg, 2004) a couple of years ago, it was a masterpiece. And the main actor was waaay better than Tom Cruise could ever be.

      Wake me up when the movie is over. *snores*



    85. 85

      Re: zach – true, there were german officers against hilter, but they weren't "good men". and the thought or leading to the public to believe they were is ridiculous. there was a botched plan to assassinate hilter, but it wasn't because they were out of step with hilter's beliefs, it was because he was embarrassing the motherland. u want to learn about real germans who opposed hitler and the nazis, u read about the White Rose.



    86. 86

      i don't like how every shot cuts to black. looks like it would have been great without tom :(



    87. 87

      shock horror, a Tom Cruise film that looks good! not that I can afford to go to the cinema anymore, my local has just upped is prices to £12 ($24) but I look forward to the dvd….



    88. 88

      Yeah, see, it looks like a good movie, but most movies look good from the trailer. While he as a person disturbs me a great deal, the same would be true of many stars, and I've still watched their movies. I'll see what everyone says when it comes out, because the buzz has been really bad, a good trailer doesn't really overcome that. Shame because there are some amazing actors who are favourites of mine in there.



    89. 89

      I dont see what the problem is so many actors have played contraversial parts in movies



    90. 90

      It looks like it will be pretty good.

    91. momo3 says – reply to this


      91

      He looks hot. And he is a good actor. I probably wont see it cause I like happy, fuzzy warm movies.



    92. 92

      looks intresting, i'll watch it. but not in theater



    93. 93

      there's a german version about valkyrie
      and i guess it¡s better than this one u_U



    94. 94

      WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO MUCH FOR TOM FUCKIN CRUISE TO USE A GERMAN ACCENT! COME ON!!!!!!!



    95. 95

      it looks good i will go see it !!!!!!!!!!!!!



    96. 96

      Will watch it



    97. 97

      oh my god.. another nazi movie?! we have a billion in germany… but stauffenberg was a good man… in every german city theres a road named after him :) stauffenberg rocks! sad that the attempt didn't work though :( love from germany :)



    98. 98

      Actually looks kinda interesting, however interesting doesn't necessarily imply good!

    99. blEaU says – reply to this


      99

      Re: Doodlez – Absolutely!! That was the first thing I noticed. How is anyone going to believe the character when Cruise can't even master a half-ass German accent.



    100. 100

      It sucks obviously. Why do you think the studio canned it for over 2 yrs????? Not b/c it was GOOD I can promise ya.
