Robin Hood

[Turamber]

What a steaming turd of a film. How on earth did Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe turn one of England's greatest legends into an overlong borefest riddled with cliches, dodgy accents, confusing plot twists, bad characterisation and worse.

So bad it made Prince of Thieves look good and the BBC series reasonably good.

Spoiler

Ye Olde WW2 landing craft.
Maid Marion ripping off Eowyn from Return of the King.
The Merry Men built into characters ... and then ignored for the rest of the film.
Robin Hood wrote the Magna Carta.
England travelled from top to bottom in less time than it takes to open a packet of sweets.

Oh and I nearly forgot: When England is invaded by thousands of blood thirsty Frenchies CALL FOR TEENAGERS ON SHETLAND PONIES!

Unadulterated shit. Avoid.

Heard much the same from a friend, don't think I will bother now.

Quite enjoyed it myself.

i've seen the trailers several times and each time I just think eugh gladiator comes to England and it's about as appealing as an uma thurman rom-com.

 

[BloodOmen]

biggest pile of shite i've seen to date.

Read a lot of reviews, it seems they went for a "origins of the legend" style film, then forgot it was meant to be a popcorn action movie and tried to make it serious. I shall be giving it a miss.
