Wavers British accent


The biggest letdown in this film seems Sigourney Weaver...Her British accent is pretty pretty bad, it just pisses me off so bad that I won't even bother to watch it..

Whoa. How do you know it's bad if you've never watched the movie? Don't tell me you're judging her accent by just a few words from the trailer.

First off, there is no one 'British' accent. Britain is made up of several countries each with roughly their own accent (and language, but we will stick to English for this).

Within each country there are many accents that can sound wildly different, these are usually attributed to counties or major population areas within those countries.

What Sigorney is doing is a relatively posh, upper society at least, English accent. As an Englishman, and based on those few seconds of the trailer, it didn't ring any alarm bells for me.

However, I reserve final judgment until I have watched the film, and my god does this film look good!

I just watched it and her accent was fine.

"I just watched it and her accent was fine."


If you're a silly yank who lacks the ability to hear any accents outside of their own country, and/or have a learning disability...then yes, it was indeed "fine".

Nope, I'm from the UK and have no learning disabilities. Sorry to disappoint.

Wavers's mother or grandmother (I forgot) is british so people say her accent was OK
