It looks a really high class thriller but this thread will be filled soon with ppl asking why there are no German accents at all.

lol Guess that answered my question....sounds relly well done though
Yeah, wonder why, its only a movie about Nazi Germany.![]()
Branaugh looks like he was going for a sort of half German accent. He did play Heydrich in the HBO TV movie Conspiracy, so he has somewhat the experience at playing a Nazi officer.
I guess I am disappointed that Cruise made no effort at an accent. Its like he thinks hes too good to go that distance and that people will automatically buy his performance. Maybe they tried and Cruise sucks at accents so they went the Kevin Costner Robin Hood way....oh well
Movie looks good though, as does most Singer movies.
I personally don't care but I see why people might be upset or annoyed by this. Actually this might be a very controversial move in Germany.
I don't like Cruise's costume. Too different from the comics...er...history. His badge is too small and the red on his uniform not bright enough. And does Hitler have a kid in this one? Cruise's neck is too skinny and he doesn't look muscular enough.

Sounded to me like the choice was made to not go with accents at all, My guess is the studio didn't fancy selling "Summer 2008" on German accents.
Agreed, it looks like a November release to me. They are putting it out in August which will be after the market has been flooded with fantasy/action movies, so they may think the change of pace at the end of summer will hit big.This could be my only gripe as I don't think it can hold its own against Batman:TDK or Hulk. It would have made more sense to have this as a winter/fall release rather than a summer one.
