Sorry for anyone who may have liked this move but OMG!!!!!!111111
prehaps im being unfair as i only watched the 1st 20 minutes of it but after seeing that much i had to move my sorry arse off the couch and see something more exciting (the inside of the tumble dryer) the only good thing was the ever lovely angelina jolie, and the horse was nice, oh and theres a cute albino snake too.
Couldnt be bothered to do any research but im guessing the budget for this movie was bigger than king kongs schlong and yet.... they couldnt afford a voice coach for collin "feck me i need a drenk!"farrel!!
"k guys heres what i'ma gonna do, make a huge epic movie of one of histories all time greats and im casting an irishman as a greek, but heres the cool bit...... ready? instead of teaching him the greek accent
<dramatic pause>
im going to get everyone else to put on an irish accent thus the continuity wont be affected and everyone will think ancient greeks spoke like bono!! great hu!"
i mean ffs WHAT THE HELL!
i'd really like to know what the greeks thought of this, why does hollywood do this?? i remember having the misfortune to see a movie called "ticker" and they had dennis hopper playing an irishman and omg his accent was so bad i was crying with laughter through out the movie (which was supposed to be a tence action drama) and "Highlander" man dont get me started, you got a frenchie playing a scottie and a scottie playing a spanyard helloooo? and the worse bit, none of the buggers even tried to do the accent of the country they were supposed to be from!
for all you non brits out there we have soap opra's here and in a couple of them we have folks playing londeners or northerners (very distinctive accents) i was amazed to see the actors who play fred elliot and pat butcher both had queens english accents and one woman off coronation street who spoke like she was a true manchester born gal was actually scottish, which makes me think if bleeding soap actors can be bothered to learn and perfect accents why the hell cant movie actors (who get paid a shit load more, for a lot less work tbh), and if you have to rely on one big actor to make your movie, tbh it isnt worth making in the first place, and the actors shite if they cant even put on an accent.
Fin.
