Because It Sucks
Tom Cruise doesn't understand why people are being critical of the film Valkyrie. "It (the criticism) just doesn't make sense to me. The moment I read the screenplay I knew it was an important story, and as it's a true tale of heroic resistance to one of the great villains of history, I can't imagine that people won't want to see it."
Hey, just because it is an important story doesn't mean that people will want to see it. I think people don't want to see it because it sucks balls, not because the story isn't any good. Maybe the don't buy you as Nazi. I know, I know. If anyone can pull it off you can. Hell, all you had to do was go into your little time machine thingy and go back and talk to some real Nazis. Another strong possibility is they don't really like you very much Tom. I know, I know. Again, it seems odd considering all the good will your spread to the people of the world and how we are either with you or against you.
You did bring Eddie Izzard into the film which is cool so I will definitely have someone chop it up for me so I can see his scenes. I don't think he is in enough stuff. I know you used to be the thing, but those days are long gone. Your movies cost way too much and with the exception of the Mission Impossible series, and War Of The Worlds, it has been a long time since you had a hit film. You don't get to count Tropic Thunder for your column. When I think of Tom Cruise films I think of epic disasters that had a whole lot of hype, and were just awful. I bet if I went back and looked at your quotes about Lion for Lambs you would have said the same thing. Did real well didn't it?
