Summary: The story of an archer in the army of Richard Coeur de Lion who fights against the Norman invaders and becomes the legendary hero known as Robin Hood.
Crowe makes a good historic soldier. Liked him in Gladiator, liked him in here. But I expected something else of a movie named Robin Hood, something resembling a legend, something showing the uniqueness of a historical figure and that, I did not find in this movie.
Fails to connect completely, but is competently acted and beautifully filmed. Takes some liberties with accepted legend but no one really knows the true story anyways (Robin Hood's real identity and area of operations are debated to this day and Friar Tuck and Maid Marian did not appear until much later than the original 14th centery texts). It is enjoyable enough although it feels unfinished and is not likely to recieve a sequel.
Ridley Scott's film never finds its core -- which is Cate Blanchett's character, at the end -- and kind of misses the point by telling the origin of the hero, and I guess the audiences wanted that old Robin legend that takes the money from the rich and gives it to the poor.
So bad. There are so many things wrong with this movie. Some parts are laughable, and I was sad that this was the first movie in my memory in which I thought Cate Blanchett had a bad performance.
An interesting and watchable take on Robin Hood Begins but with quite a few flaws. The accents and the Geography seemed unauthentic. The final battle scene has been done so many times before, ending up with hand to hand combat between good and bad. still I wanted Robin to win!
yeah it wasnt as much action as it could have been, yeah it was more about the person than the story, ... yeah you are all right, but still i liked it, specially the soundtrack and scenery
Fake beauty and fake history rob Robin Hood of previous moral value. It's no longer "legendary" because Scott and Helgeland's sham realism trivializes history.
Bloated, anemic version of the Robin Hood legend, with Crowe and Blanchett unfortunately far too old to be playing these characters in a 'prequel' story. No-one in this lugubrious mess appears to be having much fun, save Eileen Atkins who creates an enjoyable Eleanor of Aquitane. Scott's usually a fine action director, but here he allows a leaden pace and general confusion swamp the story. A real disappointment, considering the talent involved.
Like any old couple, it's been years since Crowe and Scott had anything really interesting to say to anyone, and this movie seems more of an excuse for Scott to do something nice for Crowe, than a genuine attempt at entertaining the rest of us. An alternate take on the Robin Hood legend, it's the least fun of it's kind, with accents all over the place, zero chemistry between Robin and Marion, and a story that collapses when going for epic. Scott and Crowe should consider getting a divorce.
