He is quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle as saying: "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."
The movie, which focuses on a plot by insurgent German soldiers to assassinate Adolf Hitler, has suffered a series of setbacks, including repeated changes of release date and extras - who have now filed a lawsuit - being injured on set.
A trailer for the movie showing Tom playing the role of a German officer with an American accent has also been the subject of ridicule by critics.
'Valkyrie' is currently set for a December release date.
