Composes of a dreary pace, some over acting, laughable accents, lack of character development for an overloaded cast and a delirious plot that twists a classic and simple tale. Direction (coming from the ,am who directed Blade Runner, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, etc), acting (Hurt, Blanchett and Crowe in tow) and locations were brilliant. Action-packed but dry and not as entertaining from the director's previous works. |

Robin Hood felt like a movie you'd watch just to waste time because theres nothing else better on.When I 1st started watching it seemed like an alright movie but then it just went on & on & on.I noticed I kept pressing info on the remote just to find out how much more I had to watch before it was over |

An OK and often entertaining action adventure, but it can't decide whether it wants to be a historical drama about uprisings in England or an origin story that pays homage to past Robin Hood films. The Robin Hood stuff is sort of murky and boring, but the historical and political intrigue really shines. |

"Robin Hood" is not really focused upon the legend of the outlaw; it's more about the beginning of Robin Hood, tracing back his story, how he *became* an outlaw. I think this was a disappointment for a great many people who wanted to see Robin and his merry men robbing the rich and giving to the poor while dodging the sheriff of Nottingham.
The story opens with the military campaign between France and England who have been fighting one another since before the age of the dinosaurs. At the helm is Richard the Lionheart, back from the Crusades and fighting to take Normandy from his adversary King Philip of France. Richard falls in battle, failing to return to English soil. Robin a disillusioned soldier is looking for something to believe in a new cause if you will. He stumbles across a g... |

"Robin Hood" by Yojimbo |
|
An English archer returned from the crusades adopts the identity of a fallen nobleman and becomes embroiled in the prevention of a civil war to unite against a French invasion. Little did I know that Robin Hood was not in fact a fictional highwayman who lived in Sherwood forest, but actually the inventor of the Magna Carta who single-handedly repelled a French invasion. I feel positively educated. It's a shame the script of Robin Hood degenerated into theme park history absurdity because for the first half of the film it struck just the right balance of plausibility and adventure. Of course it takes Braveheart style liberties with history but it stayed just the right side of willing suspension and the likeable performances and gritty action sequences made for rousing medieval adventure. U... |

Not Quite Up There With 'Braveheart' |
|
The tale of Robin Hood is a legend that is closely tied to actual historical events. Its central theme of the common man rising up against the tyranny of a monarchy that treats all its subjects as indentured servants is a popular and enduring theme. Given the current raft of 3-D, IMAX, and films heavily laden with special effects, Robin Hood is a welcome break from all the high-tech, super-hero mania that’s been taking over theaters of late.
Directed by Ridley Scott, (‘Blade Runner’, ‘Gladiator’, ‘Blackhawk Down’), this ‘Robin Hood’ film is really a prequel to the story many of us are familiar with. Given that the story of Sir Robin of Loxley is really a legend, Scott has free reign to embellish or modify the tale as he saw fit. However, I was pleased by the way he chose to stick close... |

Comparisons between roles that were decades apart is unwise. Sure, the mullets are out of fashion, but for it's day, Prince of Thieves was a great film. Just like Jack Nicholson's Joker and Heath Ledger's Joker...Both were great in the context of perspective films. Ridley Scott was not trying to duplicate Gladiator, but he admitted that his Robin Hood (formerly Nottingham) had the same intense atmosphere. |

It all depends on two factors in order to have a chance of being almost as good as Gladiator.
- The musical score
- And if there is too much action
Gladitor was the perfect blend of action, drama, music, and story telling at its best. If Scott rushes it like he has since Gladiator, it will be average and a big let down! |

I always preferred Men in Tights... seriously, you either love or hate Costner's version. I thought it was pretty good, even with lack of accent, but Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe together again - I'm thinking this version, though technically a Robin Hood prequel, will be much more entertaining. |

So will this be better than the 90's favorite with Costner? I am not sure but if it is 3/4 as good as Gladiator it will blow it out of the way! |
