I know I'm probably going to be slammed for this, but I am going to admit that I watched this movie with my 8 year old son......after he saw Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he began making statements about "Germans" and "Nazis"---I was repeatedly offended by this, and made a point, as I always do, to emphasize that people should not be judged on race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc. and that discrimination to any degree is unacceptable to me. After hearing repeated negative remarks about how "all Germans are killers" and love Hitler--I sat him down to explain that there were many attempts to assasinate Hitler--BY GERMANS!! He couldn't believe his ears. When National Geographic showed a special on Valkyrie (the actual event--not the movie), he watched it with me. I rented it, watched it first without him, and then watched it with him.... I think the message was loud and clear--and PLEASE don't judge me for this--I know 8 may be too young...but I know the personal limitations of my children, and he handled it just fine. We discussed it--and it appears that his streak of discrimination regarding Germans as a whole has ceased.

great movie. the history was correct and my kid loved it (after i explained the entire movie to him in kid version) the was a bit iffy for tween's and some of the swearing was explicit.

Very interesting movie. I enjoyed the historical aspect of it. The violence was a little harsh, but overall, I enjoyed it.

I got to see this movie back in the cinema in christmas time also seeing a few other movies as well. This one was a great historical thriller that also worked because it was suspensful and had a great story that kept you interested. It may be confusing to younger audinces which is why i dont reccomend it to people who cant pay attention for long. On the other hand there isnt too much to worry about here besides a bit of violence and one F bomb.

Great film. Surprising that they don't dwell on why von Stauffenberg was so motivated against Hitler. That way it does avoid graphically revealing the real horror of the Nazi's - relying instead on the narrative to do this. Great acting, well put together. The certificate is very much warranted for the end scenes which although aren't gratuitous do leave you with a heavy heart. I went with my Dad who's in his late 60's and he loved it too - reckoned it was the best film he's seen for ages.

I found Valkyrie to be very interesting and gripping. As a history buff, I knew some of the details of the actual plot, but I still found the movie very great. The movie does a great job of illustrating the situation and actions of those involved. The violence would be too much for younger viewers, but truly shows what happened without beating around the bush. I would recommend this movie, especially to those interested in historical events. Some of the people I saw it with said it moved too slowly, but I felt that it didn't matter. Be prepared for some very sudden loud noises.

I cannot figure out why so many movie critics gave Valkyrie a negative reveiw. I thought this was an amazingly accurate account, as well as entertaining and suspensful. All the actor's performances were wonderful and I thought Tom Cruise did an excellent job with his character. Many intense moments in this film where you are sitting on the edge of your seat. My husband and I loved it.

Great plot, great acting. There isn't much negativity here. There is some language, but all is mild and infrequent; except for one use of f---ing. No sex. This is violent though. no sesitive kids should watch this.

Except for some violence and one use of f---ing this powerful film is pretty clean.

I loved this movie. No one under ten should see it, although this is no real violence, only at the beginning and end of the movie.

i didnt get it... i just dont see why this is all that good

Again CSM reviews are just wrong. I mean theres not that much violence till the end and theres not much blood.

Not as violent as said to be. Only 3 or 4 swears. Can't critize excessive smoking, because back then smoking was a part of daily lives. On a scale on Valkyries historical accuracy: 9/10.

One thing I might be conserned about is that little kids might be confoused on a man disobaying his country.

What is commonsense talking about?There is Hardley any violence at all.1 Non Bloody bombing at begining and non bloody exicution at end.Shows heroism.

I thought this was a great movie. I easily understood it, but i'm a WWII buff. Might be little hard to understand if you don't know very much about WWII. If only Oberst Claus von Stauffenberg could have actuall killed Hitler.......

this movie was pretty good it had some violance and you should brush up on you history befor watching this. it was confusing at times because im only 14 so i didnt understand som of it. it was also kinda sad. but otherwise it was a pretty good movie!!

i liked

This was a good movie. The strong language was not horribal they said the F word once. The violence was nothing horibal. When people die there was not much blood if there was any at all. I read what this site said about sex. I do not remember seeing a nude statue at all. If there is I don't think it would be that intense. I mean its a statue. This was an over all good movie. I would think that some of the things said would be a little hard for younger kids to understand. I would say anyone 12 and up should deffinitally be able to handle it!

Setting: 1944 North Africa, Germany, and Russia Genera: History, Thriller, and Drama Filmmaking 1: I think that director did a very cool job filming this movie. Valkyrie has everything that audience like: action, existent, and silliness, not like other historical movies. Filmmaking 2: Also I think decorators did awesome job too. All of characters looked like they were from 1940’s. All of military character has coppice of real medals on their chest. Plot: First scene is in Africa. It shows Colonel Stauffenberg who write journal. In which he express how he feel about World War II and Hitler. That he makes Germany outcast. On the next day camp in Africa is attacked, enemies slaughter every like a dogs. Stauffenberg was badly injured, he lost one of his eyes, his right hand, and two fingers from his left hand. After his return to Germany General Friedrich Olbricht (played by Bill Nighy) takes him on a special meeting. On this meeting people like him think that Germany will be a better country with out Adolf Hitler. In the meeting, Stauffenberg meets three of the most important figures in the resistance. A Dr. Goerdeler, who will become Chancellor of Germany if some thing will happen to Hitler, a General Beck, who will lead the Armed Forces, and a man named Witzleben. This people ask Stauffenberg to help them. At a later meeting, Stauffenberg suggests they utilize Operation Valkyrie, which is a plan that uses the Reserve Army to keep amongst the Germany country should anything disrupt communications from Hitler, or should Hitler be killed. Stauffenberg rewrites the order to exclude the SS from taking control, which would leave the head of the Reserve Army, General Fromm, in charge of Germany. Over all reaction: This movie was pretty good and I liked it. I watched many movies and I know what is good or bad. I give this movie 8/10, and I recommend watching it.

I really liked this movie and thought it had a very interesting story and plot. However, it is vital that the person watching the movie has atleast a simple understanding of World War Two and the and the HUGE signifigant danger that the men who are trying to betray HItler are in. I feel sorry for whoever watched this movieand did not understand it because they truely missed out.

HONESTLY.......i didn't understand the movie and if your younger than me you wouldnt get it either.(Unless your smarter than me) I haven't learned much on the whole Germany vs. Hitler topic except hitler tried to wipe out all the jews. Tom Cruise was awesome in this movie, very good acting.
