Did anyone else only understand really like 3 words Kruger said the whole film.??
I like the actor and usually it's not to bad
with the accents but he really put it on thick for this one. I found myself laughing hysterically every time the guy came on screen !!
THERE'S NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!! -

I think this is why international movies in the States are encouraged to watch with sh!tty English dubs instead of subtitles, because despite the terrible voice acting Americans can't understand any sh!t thats slightly different.

Americans can't understand any sh!t thats slightly different.
Which is ridiculous considering we are one of the most diverse countries. I listen to at least 3 different accents per day.
As usual people love to bash America yet many of your people reside here. -

Worse than Edward Furlong(post Terminator),Vince Vaughn or Kellan Lutz?
I thought Sharlto was brilliant and the accent worked for the character

South African cast were actually saying. Though a lot of dialog is throw-away so you don't really need to know what they're saying most of the time anyway. I don't remember having such an issue with District 9 or Chappie, but the accents and dialect were strong in this film.
I honestly watched the film with subtitles as I didn't get half of what the
Koalas are telepathic. Plus, they control the weather. -

It wasn't really a matter of not understanding, but his voice/accent/delivery were incredibly grating to me.
The actor seemed a lot less so in District 9, probably because the character he was portraying there wasn't some supposedly "bad mf" but instead a relatively meek administrator (at the start anyway).
This Kruger character portrayal did NOT work at all for me. Grating, annoying, terrible. Brought an already mediocre movie down several notches.
I don't know, Butchie, instead.

That goes with the actor, for me.
Sorry to disagree since you like him but Sharlto Copley is an actor I just can't stand. Butchered this role as the badass Kruger, couldn't feel bad for him in District 9, and he was AWFUL in Maleficent. -

Not familiar with the actor but the character he was asked to play was a poorly-written, stereotypical, contrived, two-dimensional, psychotic bad guy, so I can have some sympathy for the guy. The dialogue he was asked to deliver wasn't great either, so it probably didn't matter that we couldn't hear a word of what he said.
it's just another dumb film, get over it.
