(I can't believe Americans thought the movie was bad because of the dialects.)
Master and commander is getting great reviews in the U.S. , so i dont know who is complaining . I'm seeing it next weekend.
You want some truly brutal accents, watch 'Lock, stock and two smoking barrels'. To make matters worse, its mixed poorly. I like the movie though.

I haven't seen any major reviews complaining about the accents, but I have seen people on message boards saying "Why are they playing baseball on the island" (It is cricket!!!) and "This movie had bad accents, it sucked", you just feel like going up and telling these people to learn about other cultures. (Especially if there gonna be the "World's policeman", and they can't find Iraq on the map.)

And the dialect a problem? Na me and me mates spoke in quite a different sort when we left jokingly.

We are forced to watch american movies all the time (
) so why can't some americans watch a movie from some other place now?I don't know if Master and Commander is a Hollywood film, but Peter Weir is an Aussie guy and Russ is an Aussie, so it's an 'Aussie' movie to me
Lock Stock is a great movie, but I think Snatch is a killer. Brad Pitt, Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones are total hoots (as are the black dudes)

If they made 19 more movies. . . I'd see only the fifteenth, but utterly confused, and mainly just spend my time eating popcorn. And Junior Mints.

I haven't seen Master and Comander, but I have seen elf and it is pretty good...it would have been better if they released it closer to Christmas.

Edit: It might be good, it just looks like it would be stupid from watching the commercials.

I thought the accents were a bit strong, especially if they plan to market to the American audience. Also, I found myself not really getting into any of the characters, except, obviously Capt. Aubrey and Dr. Maturin. None of the characters really pulled the sympathy out of me like other movies. (I'll just say this up front, I was expecting a Gladiator-esque movie on the seas.)
