"I'd rather hear your theories..."

Ever since the Thatrical (final) trailer came out, I've been hearing alot of complaints or disapproving remarks about Rob;s accent. And frankly, I love his accent. He is doing a great job. A few people said they can't understand him when he says, "I'd rather hear your theories." They said they couldnt understand the word "theories". They also said he sounded irish? I dont understand. I didnt see any flaws in his accent. Maybe they were too distracted by his eyes that they were unable to understand him? i mean that could happen cuz he's just so good. Still, we have yet to see alot of his accent, but I think its fantastic so far. Anyways, what do you guys think? Have you heard these comments too?

MsECullens Yeah, i've heard about the comments, and it really annoys me! it comes with the WHOLE package! deal with it! and i think HE SOUNDS PRETTY HOTT!

rbec i understood him speak perfectly.there's probably just something wrong with people's hearing.i luv his american accent.

funnyshawna i think he does a great job at the american accent! i understood everything he said though i did have to watch it twice to get everything...the first time i got distracted by his eyes...the second time i heard the words...lol

IcelandGirl812 I understood everything he said just fine, but I did think his accent sounded a bit strange when he said "He's never gonna stop" mainly on the "gonna". It doesn't bother me, I'm just stating that it sounded strange.

twilight4me I think his accent is great.At first his looks didn't catch my interest but the more I watch him in interviews etc the easier on the eye he is.The only time I couldn't understand him is when they were doing the con interview and there were screaming fans yelling pretty much over him.I think if someone complains so much about his accent than maybe they shouldn't go to see the movie because he obviously will be talking a lot in it lol.

mbally500 i loved the accent. its not as good as his english accent but its still totally awesome

isabelle_905 I agree with IcelandGirl about the "gonna"... I just sounds weird... And I find that he sounds a lot like Hayden Christensen when he says: "My family, we're different from others of our kind"... AND I found a continuity error - when they're standing in the tree, the shot from the back has Edward standing between the tree and Bella... but the shot from the front is the opposite.

evelinux hahaha.. i'm from Poland.. and i can clearly understand when he says "I'd rather hear your theories."

Bandgeek_XP You know i think it's good but it sounds more boston than anything, right?

Kaidi I'm not from an English speaking country either and I can understand him perfectly. :)

teamedward4ever he sound totally hot. and isabelle, did u ever think that they MOVE?????????like 4reals...a continuity error?!?!?!?!

vampiress015 I like his English accent better, but I would be biased since I'm English myself. But even though I'm not used to American accents I can understand him, I even quite like it. He made me squeal-lol-when he said "It does in my world"!!! He's done a good job.

bella_edward101 i also had to watch it twice to catch all the words because the first time i was just so distrated by him!! lol i've got no problem with his accent... in fact i love it.

BrucasChair i do admit that at one point he did sound irish but that's ok, i could still understand what he was saying! :) plus as long as i can understand the rest of the movie then i'll b ok ;)

SaveMe620 He sounds absolutely amazing. I love it.
