Toms southern accent was terrible


I have lost respect for his acting skills as a result of this movie. Most east/west coast actors can’t do the accent. But I’d expect Tom to do a better job.

Tom has never been much of an actor.

Uhh what? I didn't even notice he was attempting an accent

That's on you.

This accent problem is really important.

What?

I am not being sarcastic, I assure you.

OK, maybe I better explain. It's important, because all these 'let's focus on a completely meaningless, trivial point'-posts prove that there's NOTHING ELSE that stands out about this movie.

Had the story been amazing (or even super interesting, like the original story actually is), had the performances, stunts, action, etc. been something to type home about, no one would have CARED about the accent or wardrobe or which crickets you hear in the night shots.

The only reason people focus on these kind of superficial, meaningless trivialities, is that there's nothing else there. The story is thin, the action laughable, the performances mediocre, and in the end, nothing goes anywhere. In the end, nothing happens besides 'look how corrupt things were back in the bad old days, I am so happy things are perfectly uncorrupt now'.

This means, these posts that seem unimportant, become important exactly because they EXPOSE the movie for not having anything important to talk about, so people HAVE to write about unimportant things.
