Worse than his personal interviews while he was shilling this movie as this half assed actor couldn’t even speak with a German accent.

If you can get past the medias liberal bias and complete hatred of Tom Cruise, you will discover a brilliant movie.

Does anyone find the parallel between Hitler’s Germany and Hollywood bias amusing? Is there a Stauffenberg willing to take on Hollywood?

Chica Chic – I think most of the criticism doesn’t disagree with you, but argues that a historical documentary about a German soldier that conspired to assassinate Hitler might not be the right movie for Tom Cruise BECAUSE he is the kind of star you mentioned. (Tom Cruise would probably have been a bad choice to play Schindler for the same reason) That being said, it’s fun to make fun of him! That being said, Top Gun II would probably set every box office record known to man.

Tom Cruise is an actor who, as he has always said, is in the business to entertain the public. If you are expecting method acting, don’t go to a Tom Cruise film. If you want to eat popcorn and be entertained, then by all means go. Tom Cruise is like the stars of old – no matter what role they were playing, they were stars first and foremost. John Wayne could play a marine, a cowboy, a diplomat, or an Irishman but he was always John Wayne first. Well, the same goes for Tom Cruise. I think he is very much maligned for all the wrong reasons and underestimated as a star and entertainer.

There is no need to see this film just the thought of TOM CRUISE acting a German is laughable and that is without the Nazi! Tom’s out of reality, the problem is it makes everyone else bad for involving themselves (i can imagine the laughs the SUPPORTING cast had behind his back) in something just so awful. Cruise is trying to improve his image AND LOOK AT WHAT HE DOES!!!

Wow! That was a wild ride! Apparently lots of folks are interested (for various reasons) in whether or not Tom Cruise sucked in “Valkyrie.” Some folks were upset that our post was biased. To be honest, the reviews of Tom’s performance did vary, but the range was pretty much horrible to OK, with the average being “not so good.” A not-positive general consensus among critics combined with an eye patch, Nazis and Adolph Hitler demanded that we “pile on.” We are starcasm after all!

I saw this movie the day after Christmas even though the critics said it was terrible. I loved the movie, critics are supposed to be wrong about movies. No one persons opinion should set the course for the masses.
