I reckon Elijah did a brilliant job with an English accent. Being from Albion itself, I think he did the best job out of all of the cast with their voices, closely followed by Kate Blanchett.
Brad Douriff had it easy by having a stereotypical very posh accent he conveyed. Elijah's wasn't as easy to do as this one, it was more 'well spoken' then 'posh'.
Sean Astin tried (fairly well) to give a west country lilt to Sam, but it kept falling back to mid atlantic every now and then.
other 'slips' with people's accents - Aragorn stating 'Sauron the Deciever' and 'let the lord of the black land come forth' slipped right back to his american accent and the best one of all was Sean Bean going back to his Sheffieled accent on Caradhras - 'Let's take the road back to my Citeh!!!' (instead of City!!!!)
