While I think he's been unfairly maligned in general, his accent in particular has been subject to some rather excessive criticism, in my opinion. Perhaps it's simply due to my untrained ear, but as an audience member I found it fairly convincing and pleasing to the ear throughout the trilogy.

I certainly notice his accent being a bit funny up to Rivendell

I think the accent generally stayed consistent throughout the films; it's just a bit higher at times

It's acceptable, and American South accents are easier for them, also.
