Tom Cruise and the movie aren't that good

Rating: 4/10 (10 March 2009)

I'm sorry to all those who liked the movie but to be honest the movie isn't that good, specially since you know what happened since the beginning. Tom Cruise wasn't as bad as many critics of the movie have said, but he is the worst one in the whole movie. To me it was particularly annoying to hear everybody talk with whatever accented they wanted, specially when everybody is supposed to be German in the movie; but maybe thats just me.
The movie is very well made and there are many entertaining parts, but as a whole the movie doesn't work for me. Tom Cruise isn't that good of an actor unless you give him the right role and this isn't it. Even though who does look a lot like his character did, who isn't good in this movie. This is not Cruisebashing, I'm just telling what I believe.
The problem with these movies is that when you know what happens since the beginning it is hard to make the movie as a thriller, even though Singer does achieve this in a scene or two but as a whole it really isn't that good or effective as a thriller. And people, please read more history people, although the historical accuracy is good it is still missing a lot of elements, although it is pretty accurate but sometimes, and this is the case. "Hollywood liberties" can come across as troublesome or sometimes annoying. I truly hope Tom Cruise finds the right movie fr him, as overrated as I think he is, but in conclusion Valkyrie is not that good of a movie as all you people are stating The suspense is dull as you already know everything, the performances are OK, except for Cruise, other than that the recreation, costumes, action, etc are extraordinary.
