I just saw the movie, and the lack of german accents was really distracting for me. I think it was especially noticeable given the historical setting of WWII, only because Germans, Americans, British, French, Italians, etc, were all involved. It's confusing to determine who is part of the Axis and who is an Ally. The whole issue is complicated by Kenneth Branagh, who is also supposed to be a German soldier, as he maintains his own English accent, while Cruise does nothing to disguise his American one. These guys are top actors, and they cannot perform a German accent? Come on.

I’m going to see this movie, regardless of not being a Tom Cruise fan (I even enjoyed his movie “A Few Good Men”). As far as the lack of German accents, that’s no problem — this movie needs to be a historical thriller, not something that sounds like actors attempting to produce Hogan’s Heroes accents.

Two words. Schindler’s List. They were able to work the accents in there…the fact that they tried the accents and it was “distracting”, to use a quote from Tom himself, just points out how limited of an actor he is. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, I will get this on blu-ray when it comes out. As for in the movies, I will be seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that week and I suggest you do the same.

Looks like Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise in a german uniform. I’d have preferred real german with subtitles.

Without the accents, which I think it needs for this kind of period action/war movie, this trailer looks like:

Mission Impossible 4: The Valkyrie Chapter

Including the explosive device…

the movie and the story is good ….but I am very disapointed that tom cruze dose not have a German accent. It not sure who to blame for that ethier tom himself or Byan Singer . also Not all the soldiers where evil S.O.B ‘S many where foced to fight . Im not trying to defend them , yes there where a lot of monsters in the german army. Mainly the guy’s at the top, and the S.S , and expeally in the contiontraiton camp where true montsters .

I can’t believe ppl are going into this rooting for nazis ?
(Many saw Evil , they Dared to stop it.)
Oooooh. Aaaaaahhhhhh,,, how fucking heroic.
All these pussys carry Lugers,,, hey Valkyrie, wak right into Hitlers office, and blow his fucking brains out, and then do yourself. (That’s a Nazi Hero!!!)

Nothings really historically acurate here, its BASED on a true story.
Cruise looks like he’s auditioning for the role of Snake Plisken.

People who complain about the accents or non-German are just looking for something to complain about because they hate something else about the movie, like Tom Cruise or Bryan Singer. I love Tom Cruise, don’t care for Singer, but think the movie is looking pretty tight so far.
