This movie was kind of long...but had some good actions scenes. Not a big deal if you miss it.
I like Russell Crowe but this movie wasn't as good as I was expecting
If this wasn't the Robin Hood tale, I could be more forgiving. I don't understand why filmmakers do this. I want to make a medieval movie that's like Robing Hood, but not Robin Hood. I know, lets just call it Robin Hood and make whatever we like.
A new way to look at the Robin Hood character that took him out of the green tights he's become famous for.
Robin Hood was a solid summer film that contained great action sequences, actor performances, and storyline. Russel Crowe was great as the memorable Robin hood in his portrayal as the historical figure. The action sequences were well directed and the storyline was original. However, this movie was very long to sit through and some scenes left you falling asleep in your chair. I was also slightly disappointment with originality as it seemed to be a mix of all war movies into one average move. 3 stars for Robin Hood
Much better than the reviews said it was.
I was expecting a little more "Robin Hood" in this film. Then again it is the story of how he came to be... so it's understandable. Russell Crowe is a little too old to play this part. This is Robin Hood's beginnings and he seems much older than Kevin Costner. Some very nice action scenes though. The actor who played the "new king" did not sell the role at all. The rest of the cast was fairly decent.
Terrific, well-crafted retelling of a familiar legend. Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett made me believe they were Robin Hood and Lady Marion. Highly recommend this movie.
I enjoyed this movie, even though it was a bit slow in places. I did have a few issues - like the pacing and the tone of the film... it was as if it didn't know what type of film it was trying to be. You should know that this isn't the typical Robin Hood story - about him and his band of Merry Men is Sherwood Forrest, stealing from the rich to give to the poor...but rather it's a story about how Robin Hood Came to be that man. Again, a fair film, though perhaps not as good as it could have been.
This movie was a twist on the usual Robin Hood tale. I enjoyed watching Cate Blanchett play a very strong Lady Marion. Oscar Issac played a nasty but weak King John.
