THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT PROMETHEUS

Who are you talking about.....specify....nobody knows what you're refering to

Ugh, I do have to admit that it doesn't 'sound' right to me either. And when he says, 'It's picking up life form'. You don't even hear that he says ... picking up "A" life form. It just sounds like he's saying 'It's pickin' up life form'. What? LOL edit: he is talking about Idris Elba's character when Prometheus lands on the planet. It kinda sounds like he has a lisp. TM5

and please refrain from needless foul language

just watch the trailer and youll know what im talking about silly fake accent prometheus has landed its comical its only in the american trailer.

Not only that, he sounds like he speaking a country US accent.

@TheEgg, Yes, like he's from Kentucky or something.

What if that's part of the character, who cares...if that's what the role calls for then so be it....yeesh

Complain about the movie after you've seen it.

So what if he has a fake American accent. what's the big deal? Maybe he portraying an American character.

I'll try and not take too much offense at your reference to a "silly American accent" and answer your question. Firstly, Idris's Elba accent is impeccable, while starring in The Wire practically no viewers knew he was English. Secondly, The US is the biggest and most important market for this movie, the audience need to identify with the ship captain for his role to work. Its about commerce. Question for you Musab, why do you think David uses a fake English accent instead of his native accent? Did you even notice?

Noomi Rapace Nationality is Swedish, yet she puts English accent on.. so what

@Enderwiggin, i'm with you on that one. Musab's remarks kinda rubbed me the wrong way. good point about david.

@ Royal-jelly - thanks, Just seems to me like a really stupid comment.

One thing I will hate about this movie if as the rumors are true and this turns into The Thing in space with a bunch of Norwegian hooligans running around trying to clean up their English...

@crzygaser I don't think that will be a problem... :)

I was hoping Elba's character would retain his native London accent too. Shame. Maybe not gung-ho enough eh?

you go Musab! fake accents suck it, hard. how dare Edris!!! Who does he think he is, Austin Powers? Please, for god's sake chime in with something awesome, Takka!!! Lets all fight!!!

but is the fault of the norwegians ?? The fact that other nations actors submit themselves to talk in english should be viewed as an act of courtesy ( and to be able to work ) ..not to a lack of skills . And anyway hearing norwegians talking a perfect english would have been a bit silly .Accents , languages and even errors ( me !! ) are part of the sharing of cultures , lets not fall into provincialism . Regarding Janek ..i think that first they did write the character and then they did search the actor ... so i dont see the motive to complain .

Awight guv, Prameeffeus 'as laaendid, Gawden Bennett! Ave yow seen any xinnne-momoawffs rawnd ere or wot? This ain't bladdy Ew Vey foar taw six!

Feel free to bash Elba's attempt at a real southern American accent. I agree, it is pathetic- at least the parts of it that have been released so far. The comical aspect of this is his failed attempt, and not the actual accent. Just don't make fun of the real thing, nor the Americans who actually have it. WE are not amused. We think you sound funny too, but we have the decency to keep that opinion to ourselves.

Crew man: Captain! collision course set for alien ship! Janek: I only said to blow the bladdy doors off!!

'bladdy' lol

actually, I'd rather he did not...I can't stand miserable, fake, aggressive, cocky Londoners...so yeah stick with the southern accent one weird accent is the way Noomi says 'what is that?', she sounds bloody Mancunian or some gross midlands accent

@ the coming Thats Kate Dickie - and she sounds Scottish..... which she is. I know you only joined today but easy on the abuse, no need for it.

I think it would be kind of badass if he used his Stringer Bell voice. Noomi sounds Australian in some scenes. "an invitation!"

could be worse , you could have a Canadian at the Helm , ,,, Prometheus Has Landed ,,EH

"Prometheus has landed"....thumbs down on that line in any accent. Recalls too much of the US space program. Early fears of Lindelofism that were calmed are again poking their head up....

I can just imagine jockey-boy in a slouch hat being confronted in the orrery with a prissy little handgun and saying, "that's not a gun"...

WTF?!? trashing lines / scenes before you've seen the actual film and it's scene contexts....? let's hope you aren't sitting ANYWHERE near me talking that smack, cuz you just might get smacked better yet - don't go see the film, just wait for it to air on SpikeTV in 2014 SFA

I'll still go and see the film
