It was good but that german accent was annoying...


ever since ze holocaust, a german accent can be nothing but cold and jarring. especially the scene where herzog refers to the inferior specis of seals and how zey must be "VIPED off ZE FACE of ZE EARTH!!!"

I find his german accent very charming. And by the way, it's not a "german" accent, it's a bavarian accent. He speaks german as his native language, but his accent is bavarian.

Why has Edward Woodward got four 'd's' in his name?

He is German. What kind of accent would you expect him to have? Italian?

His voice is ridiculous. Between that and the people sitting about doing a whole lot of nothing, I found that I couldn`t watch this film. It`s a shame because some of the footage is stunning.
