  | Yep, agree with the above two comments. Valkyrie wasn't a bad film and was a good portrayal of the politics and goings on behind the Staffenburg Plot but it is not even in my top 10 of great war films. There are many that are much better than it, go and watch a lot more war films.

| Agree 100% Gnomey, imalko, adler, everyone else. This was a interesting look behind the scenes, but not anywhere near the beat war film of all time.

| So in the movie, how much of the airplane parts were real planes and were any of it CGI?

| I just cannot get behind Cruise is any movie anymore. If this one had not been about WW2 history, I would not have bothered to see it.
