The Movie Would Be OK If British Actors Would Learn An American Accent


Nobody wants to hear their British accents as it is. When they sing they try to sound American, they may as well do the same when they act. Why don't they just hire American actors like Alec Baldwin?

I couldn't understand a word they were saying with those fvcking football hooligan accents. Some fvcknut actually said that the american accent sounds gay, hahaha probably coming from a bhriton. I'm finnish and everyone here thinks the british accent is the gayest ever. Hugh Grant, need i say more? There's not a letter h in every word.
Imagine Clint Eastwood talking like Hugh Grant? They might as well cut off his balls. And now i'll go and watch some good gangster movie for a change, like The goodfellas, where i can actually understand what they are saying.

Are all Americans as dumb as the ones on here? If you didn't walk around with your heads up your backsides and think that the only place on Earth that exists is America, then you might just learn something. For instance, we invented the English language and have been speaking it for 1600 plus years, in which time there has developed different accents and dialects. The fact that you seem to think we speak like Hugh Grant or Prince Charles just goes to prove how stupidly ignorant you are, along with the fact that you are all too ready to believe the stupid assumptions and stereotypes that your media and film industry feed you. You're so idiotic that you actually think that everything stops in England at four in the afternoon so we can take our afternoon tea. Were do you get these fantasies from? If I was as stupid as the Americans who believe in these stereotypes then I'd believe that all Americans wore six-shooters, shouted 'yeehaw!' every other word, and ate hamburgers and blueberry pie, just like dear old mom used to make. Fortunately most people in England are a lot more clued up to the realities of life to actually fall for such crass stereotypes.

Just remember, you speak our language, not us yours. The fact that you can't understand English accents and dialects spoken by its native speakers is your problem not ours. Do you change for the sake of others? No, and neither should we be expected to - especially for ignorant Anglophobes like you.

Try looking a little deeper into your own history - i.e. the history that existed before 1776. Take us out of your history and you'd have no United States of America - no doubt another fact that you're too stupid to know about or even realise. So, like the language you speak - even though you do it badly - that's another thing you should thank us for.

And no, we're not copying American gangster films. We have gangsters of our own too. Perhaps you'd learn a bit more if you actually got away from the idea that our country is somehow all about bobbies on bicycles, afternoon tea, London Bridge, the Royal Family, stately homes and castles, etc. Things that you're actually stupid enough to believe to be true.

Americans saved us throughout history, don't think, World War 1 was pretty much over when the Yanks arrived, you missed the kick off for World War 2, and even then you did not save us, The Soviets should get credit for WW2, even if you Yanks didn't come into WW2, it would have been a British/Russian victory, it would have taken longer, but we could've done it without you, when have we been saved post WW2, Korea was U.N, then you got the *beep* kicked out of you in 'Nam, you weren't involved in the Falklands, so you ain't saved us that much, infact if I remember correctly America was responsible for most british casualties in Desert Storm

in a fight, the British Army would rout the U.S man to man, our training is of a higher, which is why most armed forces use our training methods for there own forces...the only problem being where we would mano e mano, the yanks have the top technology...

I would like see Alec Baldwin as Carlton Leach, let's cast Dick van Dyke as hiss old man

A Nazi Europe/USA/Soviet dominated world, how do you figure that, if anything the Russians would have massacred the Nazis eventually and it may have been a Communist dominated europe, we would probably have ended staring each other down from opposite sides of the English Channel, the Nazis wouldn't have invaded Britain, they would have got bogged and be forced back across the North Sea, occupations don't work.

If Europe ended up being dominated by the Soviets, where would that leave the States, very weak I would imagine, they would have nothing in Europe with about 20% of the worlds population breathing down your neck.

Would you like to elaborate on saving our asses, because WW1 and WW2 apart, we have always went with you instead of setting off early...

As supposed friends, the UK and US need each other, more than we both think, and it has been that way for 60 years. The Americans need us for our far superior military training, we need America for the far superior technology.

Onto who would win a UK v US fight, America without doubt, because of better technology, but man to man, no weapons, UK would win hands down every time

This film is better than 90% of the sh!t tossed out by Hollywood these days and if they know its crap they just make it in 3D and hope no one will notice!

Fair enough Rolling Stoner...It really gets my back up when people claim America saved us, I should have learnt by now not to retaliate...

Quick point, Americans wonder why everyone hates them...in reality Britain and the US are the best friends each other has
