I started to watch this but was too put off by Worthington's terrible accent. It's bad American. Just stop it, Hollywood! I know these actors are well trained and easy to work with. But their accents ruin movies! Just stop it!
shareIt's a bad accent, but there's nothing saying the lead needs to be American anyway, so it doesn't affect the movie.
"Your mother puts license plates in your underwear? How do you sit?!"
So the OP didn't have a problem with Jamie Bell, who played the brother of Worthington's character. Bell actually does have a British accent. I thought he did a much better American accent than Worthington did.
shareWorthington is not really that great an actor but I haven't actually noticed his accent till now, which is quite embarrasing. Worthington is no Hugh Laurie, who in my oppinion delivers a pretty convincing accent, but since I'm not an american I guess it's not my place to argue. Laurie actually compares talking with an american accent, to playing tennis with salmon instead of a racket. So I guess it's pretty difficult.
shareYou obviously went in to this movie knowing he was foriegn and looking for a bad accent. I just finished watching it and had no idea he wasn't american.
PERIOD!
kevin costner, robin hood
need i say anymore?
guess what the world of movie is bigger then the usa, most people other then americans dont hear the differense if he tries a bad american accent.
shareI don't it's even a problem.. this accent thing. Didn't notice anyways.
I'll come up with a new point. Did they ever say in the movie that they were fully Americans? Or is there a possibility that they have British/Australian (or whatever) background?
No? Then what's the issue about?
Clark: 'Jonathan Kent; isn't it a little past ur bedtime?'
what does it matter?, the movie was good and that's all i care about.When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
