Natalie Portman's accent


I watched The Other Boleyn Girl for the first time the other day and I was just...horrified.
I had always heard that she did a poor job with her accent, but I never dreamed it could be THAT bad (not that Scarlett's was a ton better).

I thought they were both very good attempts at a general English accent.


I met Cinderella once... she's actually kind of a bitch.

Are you kidding? I'm English and I thought they did great jobs of doing English accents. If you think they sounded too posh or something, the characters were supposed to be posh.

I agree with the others, I thought their accents were fine, British here too and normally when there's a bad English accent it really bugs me.

reply

I'm English too and I thought both were very good.

Yep me too, and I'm extremley picky about British accents. I thought Scarlett and Natalie both did good jobs.

Scarjo did hers well.

Natalie did "OK" on hers.

I don't think it distracted from the film at all.

reply

I didn't find ScarJo's too bad but Natalie Portman (whom I dig greatly) is bad. See V For Vendetta for more evidence.
