Ugh. Kookball Cruise wants to get his rocks off by dressing up and playing Nazi but still wants to be the "good guy." What a perfect combo for a fetishistic loony. Bleh.
He fought the evil imperialist Zionist America. That at least gets some credit here.

You might have mentioned that there was much opposition in Germany against Tom Cruise. People feel that a Scientologist is miscast in the role of Stauffenberg. Scientology here is perceived to be very similar to Nazism.
It took many years for the German public to accept that Stauffenberg was a hero and not a traitor. Some people still see him as the latter. It's really too sad that the German movie industry did not see fit to make such a movie.
By the way, Stauffenberg's family survived and one of his sons became a General in the German Army.
How does the title
"On Golden Eva Braun" grab you?
It could have been about a plot to kill Hitler,s dog. Or maybe about a cute Florida couple adopting a somewhat repentant Nazi. Either way-GOLD!
I certainly do agree
That cruise is more boy
Than man.
I totally agree
"Usual Suspects"
Was lauded from Hollywood to Washington D.C!
"Apt Pupil"
On the other hand
Was sharp, brilliant
And unfortunately a sleeper

Don't write Cruise off that quickly, his performance in Tropic Thunder was nothing short of brilliant, he basically stole the film. The boy actually has some talent as an actor, no matter how haywire he is otherwise. I was hoping to see some of that in this one. Well, I'll see it and judge it for myself.

What to do? Sigh.
A highly overrated director who generally flops whenever the limelight is on him (Superman Returns), whose best effort is gigantically exaggerated (The Usual Suspects) and who generally delivers when entirely ignored (Apt Pupil).
A blowhard, borderline psychotic actor (Tom Cruise) who takes arguably, almost relevant and intelligent points (perhaps we are slightly overmedicating children) and blows them so far out of proportion that you not only vehemently disagree with him but want him committed(Oprah's couch, Matt Lauer's interview).
Finally a movie reviewer whose reviews I've never agreed with.
Quite a quandry indeed. Guess I'll just have to see Valkyrie and make up my own mind. It's not like this movie's gonna do any box office anyway. Plus it's always kind of peaceful sitting in an empty movie theather. This one's a must see for me.
Cruise on the hand
Just stinks...
Singer decided to let all the actors use their natural accents, instead of speaking with a German one.
--Tom Cruise isn't a good enough actor to speak his lines with a Real, Authentic German Accent. (RAGA).
The Picture's Producers and casting directors could have used John Banner and/or Werner Klemperer from, "Hogan's Heros, if they were still alive...There two are certainly better actors than Tom Cruise.....,....
After he reads all of the reviews..
I cannot see or read about Tom Cruise without seeing him gesticulate like a madman on Oprah's couch. I have tried to get that image out of my mind, believe me, but I cannot do it.
So trying to see him as heroic or serious or anything like that is now a mission impossible.
