Geordieracer 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Garbage. Saw it with the Mrs on Saturday and it's only worth seeing for the self important kiwi/aussie shite hawk's numerous accents. I swear he drops into Geordie for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Crowe is a blatant luvvy who takes any sort of critisism very badly, it's not the first time for him - and they say the Poms whinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I quite liked it. Crowe's accent is fucking horrendous but once you get past that it's a pretty decent film. I liked that they came at it from a different angle and pretty much relegated the Maid Marion love story to the background. It's much more of an attempt at a sort of historical epic than the robin hood romps of the past but you really can't keep making the same thing over and over again and tbh you're extremely unlikely to ever better the Erol Flynn version anyway. It is a bit slow like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I recall seeing Sean Connery as Robin Hood once. His attempt at an accent was horrendous, he sounded like a glaswegian wearing dentures throughout the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno - I thought his "SO you were going for Northern English?" was a pretty good wind -up The funny thing about that rant is that it's obvious that he clearly has no idea what he was doing with the accent, no matter how much he kicks off. I assure you all, it definitely fucking isn't anywhere within 100 miles of Nottingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14143 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I reckon the Kermode/Mayo show last week (which Lawson was also on) got it pretty much spot on - Crowe's enough of a pro to know that he failed in nailing any kind of plausible and consistent accent, but vain enough to have nothing in his defence beyond getting pissy about it.

Regarding the accent any director worth his salt would have a dialogue coach working with him. He's an actor ffs, an empty vessel that a director directs.

Billy Castell 0 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Of course. Bet that was fun to make! They should do another now they are 'stars' with egos that bit bigger. Maybe the Queen of England, Elton John and Shirley Bassey could make an appearence and do the music. Can you imagine the hissey fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
