Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to have left a letter off. Let me rephrase that:
Baaaaad

I think he tried only a little bit. It did backfire a little though. Did you catch his voice at the council when he said "It has no other master"? I think he was trying to sound English but instead he sounded like an American Muppet.

I realize that American English (and I'm being kind here) has its own accent - indeed it has many accents. Of course, so do the English. A fellow from Northumberland sounds nothing like a fellow from Nottingham or someone born within the sound of Bow bells. I'm simply glad that Mortensen had the good sense not to attempt an accent especially since his English was fairly standard (that is, he didn't have a southern drawl or a terrible Noo Yawk speech pattern!). Had he attempted to carry any kind of contrived speech pattern out over three films, it would have been more annoying than simply having him sound "natural" even if different from most of the rest of the cast. Although I didn't notice Elijah Woods sounded much like Rex Harrison either.

I think everyone was great for their parts. I agree that Saruman should've had more lines, think too many were given to Arwen.
I've heard that "Haldir Lives" is being written on things. I think it's a joke though. |
