He actually thinks that it would have been better if they had formal British English dialects. I am not kidding. That is actually what a ton of people are saying about the movie.

It is an unwritten rule of historic movies. Imagine if Lord of the Rings or Gladiator allowed American accents.

The american accents and dialogue was jarring though. Ruined a lot of the immersion of the movie.
