    And therein lies the problem: he kills his girlfriend, he kills his gunner, he kills David. But he speaks like Rev. Jim. Maybe he could have tried to alter his voice some?

      There was nothing ineffectual about his performance whatsoever. He absolutely nailed this role & I agree with all those who say his Klingon is the one that all others should be measured by. Also, just becuz his normal voice came through at times, does not mean he didn't act well or wasn't convincing in this part.
      The doctors say he has a 50-50 chance of surviving. But there's only a 10% chance of that.

          Every time I watch this I think Lloyd makes a very poor Klingon. For me it's his voice and the way he carries himself.

            I always thought when Kruge says "put him on screen", he sounded like Rocky.

              Lloyd was hammy and a bad actor in this movie.
              His accent was more like Jim the drunk on Taxi

                Yes. Totally ineffectual and miscast. Worse than ineffectual - the performance actually plummets into cartoonish Pirate Parody because of the egregiously inept miscasting.

                  I for one thought Christopher Lloyd's performance was outstanding. He was a great villain in my opinion. It's mostly because of his performance that I love this movie so much.

                    I could not take the Klingons seriously until Star Trek VI -
                    In the 60's shows they looked like Indian dudes with goatees
                    Also they speak alot of english and not klingon amoung themselves in this

                          He was great. I've always thought of him as one of the smartest Klingons. He might not have the brawn of the others, but he's managed to get to the position he's in with his cunning and smarts.

                            I thought he was great.
                            I guess he was a letdown after Montalban, but no one could have topped that. As far as Klingons go, he was a great villain.

                              Christopher Lloyd was great despite having the similar mannerisms of reverend Jim from taxi in terms of the speaking voice.

                                I agree he was tremendous. I think he gives one of the best performances ever in a Star Trek movie; for example, folks, check this, remember his read of the line "Yes! It's exhilerating isn't it!"

                                  He kind of plays it the same way he plays all of his characters.

                                      Sometimes I forget it's him. I just always view him as a comedic actor. But yeah, his character is mean as ****.
