Valkyrie early reviews are in ...

The Valkyrie reviews have marched on MGM. Is Tom Cruise going to be dragged outside and shot?

Valkyrie has certainly had a ‘colourful’ production. The Germans made it difficult for the production to access key real-life locations, 11 extras were hurt falling out the back of a moving truck, some scenes had to be re-shot after the film was destroyed by the wrong chemical treatment, and the release date was changed four times.

Director Bryan Singer and star Tom Cruise need a hit, as the buzz and excitement they used to create has all but evaporated.

Here’s what a few movie critics are saying

Variety 

“After a long takeoff, Valkyrie finally takes flight as a thriller in its second half but never soars very high… Cruise himself is a bit stiff but still adequate …[Valkyrie] has visual splendor galore, but is a cold work lacking in the requisite tension and suspense.”

The Hollywood Reporter 

“Well-crafted historical thriller boasts fine performances but fails to probe the motives behind the plot to kill Hitler… Valkyrie is not the electric jolt [Tom Cruise] needs to jump-start [his career].”

Screen Daily

“A serviceable if straightforward thriller…the film compensates for a lack of verve and action with solid production design and crisp performances from its cast. …Singer misses key opportunities to inject a little energy and visual flash into the story, as exemplified by a clumsily-staged arrest sequence late in the film.”

Rotten Tomatoes.

Valkyrie doesn’t have enough reviews  yet for  them to issue a rating.

So we wait and see,  what the other critics say in the coming days  after  Valkyrie hits Theatres!
