Yahoo!'s movies guy, Greg Dean Schmitz, slags Depp's accent in From Hell. He doesn't give any reasons, just states that Depp's hoping to do a better job with his accent in Neverland. I'm no expert on accents (my love of Britcoms notwithstanding)...is Abberline's accent really that bad? I suppose it sounded all right to me, and the directors' commentary states that the resident dialect coach thought so too.
(To give Mr. Schmidt the benefit of the doubt I have to say I'm not entirely sure whether he doesn't think Johhny did a good job or if he's saying Depp himself holds that opinion. The wording's a bit iffy.)
Continuing in the...vein...of FH, I caught a bit of it again while flipping through channels the other day. How come I never noticed before how lovely some of the score is, at least during the scene in the gallery? (Rhetorical question I know: I was too busy watching the movie through my fingers.) I'm going to have to track down the soundtrack.
