Valkyrie is a decent flick that kept my attention. It's not great, but it is not a bad movie. My main criticism of the film is that there is not enough character development or action to make it a great movie. The plot was interesting and there were some intense moments, but I just didn't feel the emotional pull of the characters. In order for me to really like this movie I would have had to care about the characters involved. The movie focused on the plot to assassinate Hitler and missed on developing characters that you care about. I give it a thumb to the side.
Rob's Rating System: Two Thumbs up = I loved it, worth paying full price, and I will own it on DVD. One Thumb up = An OK movie, worth a matinee showing, and I may buy it on DVD if I see it in the $5 bin. Thumb to the side = Wait and rent it. I wouldn't be mad if someone gave me this DVD, but I wouldn't buy it. Thumbs down = I hated it, wish I wouldn't have wasted money on it, wouldn't own it on DVD.
Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree with you on this review! I would have much rather waited to rent it! And I am feeling much better, thanks for asking, I have a job interview today!
Agreed on the review. I'd also like to ad that it was one of many failed attempts. They said how many, but I think it was like 7.
ReplyDeleteyet another movie i enjoyed a little more, only because I saw it free via knowing a manager @ Regal.... but still, only mildly entertained
ReplyDeleteDP, I believe it was the 15 and final attempt to kill Hitler.
