5'4" would be over his head easy and to call him a jerk would be playing nice but somehow he gets cherry roles even though his acting sucks (IMO).

He's coming back from a nagging ankle injury from jumping off Orca's couch.

From what I can see Cruise is completely miscast in the movie. Hell the subject matter alone miscasts him in this movie.

For starters, to play a German officer. Shouldnt you be able to speak with a German accent?
Kinda adds to the credibility.
If its a typical Cruise movie. It will go something like this.
Hotshot German officer suffers an event that causes severe mental depression,self doubt and/or physical weakness.
After reaching his proverbial low point. He miraculously bounces back.

Think I'll pass till I can see it on cable.

People in Germany are absolutely furious he was cast in this movie, especially as the lead character.. 
They hate him, and they hate scientology even more.  They see it for what it is.  A cult and a scam..
A cult manufactured by an egotistical windbag(who was a pathetic excuse for a Sci-Fi author as well) FOR egotistical windbags...

Plus, this movie is about 90% bull-$#*@..

He was pretty good and hilarious in Tropical Thunder.

Everyone knows German officers in movies have British accents.

Ethan Hunt with an Eyepatch, does WWII?
I'm not holding out much hope that it will be any good..
The director isn't known for his dedication to WWII history..
Even the ewok himself, calls it a "political thriller", not a "war film"..
I think it will be chock full of Hollywooditis.. As usual..

Someday, they might learn that some actual events in history
are far more incredible, and dramatic, than anything a screenwriter
can dream up... But I seriously doubt it..
Besides, If they did that, they wouldn't be able to make those revisions..

But I suppose that I'll see it, when it comes out on disc..
After all, I sat thru Pearl Harbor, with its MEGA BS...
Its hard to believe that anything could be worse than that..

Saw a preview tonight for a WW2 resistance move that's coming out in January.  Can't remember the name right now but it looks about eleventy trillion times better than Valkyrie.

Yea, the Germans are well known for recognising cult-like figures and egotistical windbags.......and making them their leader.

Pretty interesting release date for this movie, Christmas Day.  Why?  Because that is the day 90% of Jewish people go to the movies.  It's almost a "See!  There were Germans who tried to get rid of Hitler" kind of thing.

Geez take it easy. Did you think all those other movies were on the up and up?

Von Stauffenberg was like 6'4" tall wasnt he? And they got The Hobbit playing him?

Also I never bought the story this guy was a hero. Funny how they had 11 years to kill Hitler and they never tried it until after the Normandy landings when even a moron would know Germany was going to not only lose but also get pulverized.
