Console best movie i've ever seen.
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
trevor_trotman This film wouldn't have been so bad if it had been called something other than Robin Hood. As it is, apart from some of the character names, it has nothing to do with the legend of Robin Hood. Obviously the use of the title Robin Hood was a cynical attempt to get bums on seats. Ridley Scott should be thoroughly ashamed of himself for peddling this trash.
bondguy77 robin hood is one of my favorite films of all time starring russell crowe as the vigilante robin hood.after seeing all the bad reviews i didn't understand why because its got a great story,good actors and tons of action for anyone who loves the medieval era,i would definitely recommend this film to all my friends.
zkonedog Throughout the years (or in this case centuries), the story of "Robin Hood" has been told in many different variations. There's the swashbuckler (Errol Flynn), the comedian ("Men in Tights"), and the cartoonish (Disney), to name just a few. This Ridley Scott effort takes a sort of "Dark Knight" approach to the green-clad archer, perusing the roots of the character and explaining how the legend began.For a basic plot summary, this film centers on Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe), who struggles to exist in King John's rule of England after returning from the Crusades. After completing one final mission after the wars to the Loxley house, Robin meets Marion Loxley (Cate Blanchett), a sort of kindred spirit in the fight against the oppressive government.This film works on a number of different levels...-It is great action/adventure. The war scenes are reminiscent of "Lord of The Rings", and just as thrilling (not overdone or cheesy).-The grittiness. This isn't a swashbuckling Robin, but rather a good-hearted man just trying to do what is right. Also, this is a great imagining of 13th century England, making you feel as if what you are seeing could have actually transpired.-The birth of the legend. The "cannon" points (Marion, Band of Merry Men, archery, etc.) are subtle and serve to enhance the overall plot, not beat you over the head like "look what we did!".Overall, then, this is a very underrated film, especially if you are at all a fan of the Robin Hood character. The movie itself may not be as gripping as "Dark Knight", but it is well-made in a very similar style.
gogarrett There are numerous Robin Hood stories told throughout history and this one was one of the most different. I don't know why it is not highly rated because I really loved this one's unique take on the Robin Hood legend, giving him an origin story and a totally different love interest and merry band and taking place with Robin as an older man. It was refreshing, well acted and directed. I can watch it repeatedly and enjoy the varied emotions it evokes: the humor, the sadness, the pain and suffering, the lurking evil and the joy of getting back. I was intrigued by the many back stories introduced, such as the French intervention, the military influences, the royal intrigues and craziness. That last arrow shot by Robin was thrilling to watch. It was the epitome of climactic for a movie. I hope that is not considered a spoiler. Thoroughly enjoyable.
