Did anyone else only understand really like 3 words Kruger said the whole film.??

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.
