The accent was not of the region imho but I am no expert however
that was the least of the problems in the movie

1. They might have been poor but the villagers would not have been so stupid as to not know how to make propper wattle hurdles (fencing)- the movie showed them torn up and full of holes.

2.The landing craft look just like WWII d-day ones but covered with wood....I have never seen a landing craft of the period but can't have looked just like a WWII model in wood.

3.Rushes on the hall floor. Person designing the set had no Idea how to spread rushes. It was one here one there with yards apart rather than a good thick covering.

4.Reference to Lion Heart accurate or not, as guilty of mass murder did not further the plot and were there just to dig at the nobility.

5.Frequent references to the Celtic Past (standing stones crop up frequently- not crosses but standing stones etc...) seem to depict the English of the period living like squatters in the ruins of the past. Anyway what were those ruins....? Destroyed church comes up several times? Certainly that was not till later...

6. Did I not hear the song "Women of Ireland" I believe that was written by Paddy Maloney of the Chieftains within the last 30 years or so.....no attempt to get the music right what so ever.

7. Somehow someone was working hard to tie it in to the audience's familarity with Monte Python. Both sherif and king John were both far too comic for a serious movie. Serious actors playing those roles in past movies would have been much better.

8. Good Point: Almost worth watching the whole movie just to watch the very artistic credits at the end (no but close they were very good) So go out to the lobby for popcorn and come back for the credits.

Now how do I get around having to be informed of sequal after sequal which due to the point in time of the legend collections that the movie was placed seem to be out there in a long succession.

If you want to see a good movie get the Immaganarium of Dr. Parnassus
Gilliam- just out in DVD- my world exactly.
