Mmm, Matrix trailer. Hulk doesn't look too bad, either but LOG looks far too clean and nice. Sean Connery could work as Quatermain but he doesn't look drugged out of his skull enough and there's far too much action.

X Men 2 was good for what it is, switch off brain action. Good effects, good acting (well, it had Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen) but Nightcrawler's Geman was bad *cringe*. Mmm, Rogue. An enjoyable two hours
My favourite scenes: Nightcrawler's attack on the White House and Magneto's escape from prison. The latter was just so wonderfully OTT and so fitting to the character.

And I don't seem to be able to hide even in a big cinema, Paul H grabbed me outside and said "I thought I heard your laugh". Bah! ;o)

Compiling CDs for [livejournal.com profile] zenmeisterin and then bed.

Heh, I saw it with another german friend of mine, and she was muttering about Nightcrawlers accent too :)

Matrix trailer looks good, but the cgi clunks terribly in places :( I hope they get it tighter for the release...

When Jean and Storm come into the church Nightcrawler yells "Gehen Sie raus!" which translates as "Go outside!".
There's another sentence he mutters, something about the house of the devil I couldn't quite make out.
The other stuff he keeps muttering (in the jet, for example) is part of the Catholic creed and the Hail Mary, which is actually correct language wise, probably because they could find the text on the web...

Don't they have consultants? There are masses of Germans who live in the US. Die Hard was equally bad, the only good German came from the actors who actually were German.

Well, it is a british actor... we all know that bad guys, or possible bad guys have to be british becuase we are the source of all evil in the world...

The creed I picked up; amazing what a bit of virulent anti religious fervour will instill in your memory!

I understand from Jeannine that the german was technically correct, just lousy accented?

Apart from the above "Gehen Sie raus", yes.

Its probably still a better portrayal than anything regarding the british from Mel Gibson...

Mad Max aside, his portrayal of anything UK related is...

Questionable? Is that the word, or do I mean travesty?

Mad Max was an Oz film, so the bad accent was a plus :o)
