2/10
More accents were murdered than people!
5 May 2012
I won't review the story as this has already been done, as has the obvious Non-British locations.

The 'English' Actors seem to have had the same voice coach as Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Even the British ones have bad accents; I've never heard Patrick Macnee and Glynis Johns, both very talented, that bad! Don't know what was worse, Macnee's odd English or Johns appalling Irish.

Do Americans really think we talk like that, or just American directors? Certainly the Americans I know don't.

Please. if you want British characters, let them sound British. If you want an Irish accent, get an Irish actor to play it. The same applies to Scottish which thankfully there were none to be murdered in this film but are often done very badly in American films.

We want Characters, not Caricatures.
