We saw the film and it was good….pretty good, but not fantastic. We love historical movies but this one could have been great if the actors actually took the time to learn German! With all the cash they got paid for performing in it they should have taken the time to learn the language!
That really ticks me off. I have seen Valkyrie and I think Tom was wonderful! I learned about a true story through one of my favorite actors.
It’s about time Tom’s work was rewarded for what it was worth!!
they need attention so they did this, tom was wonderful in it
Amy, I couldn’t agree more! His acting was so unbelievably unbelievable and bad in that movie. He ruined it for the other actors in it.
When I went to see the movie, audience gave stand up applaud after the film was finished. I think that only people with low IQ, TC haters and scientology bigots can say that it is bad movie and Tom gave bad performance.
and masha ,ı couldn’t agree more, by the way defamer did an interwiew with the head of razzies and he said tom is not a nominee that list was a possible nominee list so sorry haters
I think Tom gets bad PR simply because he is so wonderful and well known…people love to put down people who are good looking, successful and have a lot of confidence…
I hope Tom laughs this off.
Obviously, those that like Tom probably liked the movie and those that don’t, well, they didn’t like it. More obviously, it has become impossible for the public to detach Tom, the tabloid staple, from Tom the megastar. I didn’t see the movie so I can’t comment there, but I did see Tropic Thunder and thought his cameo was a joke. Anyone could have done it. The only reason he’s nominated for a Golden Globe is because of the Washington Redskins owner who has a stake and influence in the GG awards show, and also has a stake in Tom’s studio. If he wins it, all I can say is, sham.
I really need to go see this movie! I’ve always enjoyed Tom’s movies and I am hearing such differing and strong opinions about his role in Valkyrie.
I doubt he’s laughing anything off. His career is going downhill. I don’t think he’ll know what to do with himself if it tanks.
tyler,
As I understand you are very sweet person, but don’t wary about Tom so much. He definitely has reason to smile today at the Golden Globes. I can see that you upset because after all time that you’ve spent on the TC sides with all negative remarks, Tom Crouse is still Tom Crouse - one of the respected, and successful actors in Hollywood.
