Tom Cruise’s new movie Valkyrie looks like a bomb

You got your crazy Scientologist dressed up as a crazy Nazi - sure sounds like studio gold, doesn’t it? Or not. Well, here’s Tom Cruise in his trailer for Valkyrie, about a failed Hitler assassination attempt.
Actually, if I wasn’t so involved in watching the wee little man strut across the screen, I think I could totally get into this movie.
He’s a one trick pony. Same character every movie. Except now the ‘crazy’ has seeped in as well. His mannerisms/temper are like that of an aging ‘queen’ as well. It does not help. Why does Elton John always pop into my head when I see him???
There’s always the part of a Munchkin in a Wizard of Oz remake. He would be the one with the maniacal laugh that’s a wee bit light in the leggings.
Cari - you’re right, he DOES act the same in every movie. I bet it would be interesting to clip scenes from all his movies and see how similar they are - in fact, I might do that.
Looks good to me…
