Wow. This trailer is fantastic. Hopefully this will shut up all the Cruise-haters:

No German accents = No believability.

I'd totally be taken out of the moment and constantly be reminded that I'm watching a 'movie', and a bad looking one at that.

Yes, because we all know that the Nazis spoke to each other in accented English.

Of course they did, everybody knows foreign languages only exist to provide accents for English.

I don't get it - that's the same trailer that's been out for months...

I haven't seen the trailer before.

Looks good. I think Tom Cruise is nuts, and possibly a world class jerk, but I'll still watch one of his movies if it looks good. This one looks good.

Has anyone else seen www.tomcruise.com ???

Just a tad self congraulatory, however it does make one realize he's made quite a few good if not great movies.

I'm probably one of the few who'll still see this opening day despite its release date getting moved around. I like Cruise as an actor and Singer as a director. No brainer for me.

Eddie Izzard, Stephen Fry, Tom Wilkinson, Branagh Excellent cast of English actors there, pity Stephen isn't playing Lord Melchett.

I'd say the movie looks good on the whole, but the accents are quite distracting.

I got the impression from the trailer that Cruises German character was talking with the English military as part of some conspiracy. Like some rogue Nazi or something. In that situation I could see a German soldier speaking in English with a German accent. But if he's dressed up in Nazi attire, and speaking with an American accent something just seems wrong there.

It can be explained away with a line of dialogue: "Your Bavarian accent is certainly stands out here in Berlin!"

And the other actors (at least in the trailer) all have English accents. So they explain it away as everybody being from different parts of Germany.

That's not a bad way to explain it imo. Accents do vary quite a bit in Germany thanks to years of separation before reunification. Personally, I don't mind the lack of accents in this movie as I usually find faked accents MORE distracting and ridiculous. I'm still excited to see what Bryan Singer and Chris McQuarrie have got in store once this releases.

I agree Tom Cruise looks miscast. But I'm actually surprised I feel that way. I think he deserves more credit for his acting ability. No one, for instance, thought he was the right choice for Lestat in Interview with the Vampire, then the movie came out and he proved all the doubters wrong.

But his career definitely seems off-kilter since his divorce with Nicole Kidman.

I'm thinking these delays are a ploy by the producers. They want Tropic Thunder to restore some likability and then they'll release Valkyrie.

I don't think I'll bother with this one. The trailer didn't look like anything special for me. Tom Cruise is an actor that I like some of the movie's he's in, but not him in particular.

Well today has been one of the MOST DEPRESSING/DISAPPOINTING days of movie news in recent memory.

1. Quantum Of Solace is 106 minutes long. Bond movies should be over 2 hours.
2. "W." is Rated PG-13. Oliver Stone movies should be rated R

and (the reason that makes this post relevant) :

3. Valkyrie is Rated PG-13. That is correct. I shit you not. This fact-based WWII tale has the same rating as Harry Potter 5. WWII movies and Tom Cruise movies should be rated R. Well the good ones always seem to be at least.

I always felt this was a PG-13, no question in my mind.
As for only good Tom Cruise movies being R allow me to remind you of
Top Gun
Day of Thunder
Mission Impossible 1,2 & 3
War of the Worlds
Minority Report

^I'll Give you Minority Report. Which is an amazing fantastic film and one of the best PG-13 films of all time. But the others I dont know...A few may be enjoyable but I dont know if I'd go so far as to say they are good.

The PG-13 I expected on this one. Doesn't seem TOO bloody of a war movie. Unlike Max Payne, a movie where people get SHOT THE FUCK UP that got a PG-13.
