ridley scott, russell crowe, the team that brough you the academy award winning gladiator have done it again, this time in the more realistic telling of one of the most notorious outlaws in history. the action is intense and the acting is great. this brings the story of robin hood to a whole new level.
Enjoyed it ! A new story of Robin Hood. Well done!
Great movie! Nice to see a different perspective on the whole Robin Hood story.
good movie
While it's more Braveheart then Robin Hood, it's a necessary step to establish the character for future sequels and as such, it's quite entertaining.
It was just ok. Not Russell Crowe's best work!
Very different from the other Robin Hood movies. The action scenes look authentic, and it is a good background story on Robin Hood. Don't expect it to be your typical Robin Hood story.
good movie, but read the fine print. for those of us that remember the fox cartoon or men in tights.. it says its the beginning. the story is about how he became who he is.. kind of the untold story. it also shows previews looking like brave heart but doesn't provide. still an ok movie though
Although great story, casting, and action - there were times when I had to ask myself if I was in Robin Hood or Gladiator. Too many similarities with fight scenes and camera angles and respecting the girl.
This is seriously not the robin hood i've known as i grew up but still enjoyed it very much. whether it is the real story or not u can't miss with ridley scott/russell crowe
This was a good adaptation of the Robin Hood story. It had a different twist and I really enjoyed it.
Loved the action
Crowe is AMAZING!! Blanchett PHENOMENAL!! Action packed and keeps you on your toes!! SEE IT!! IT IS GREAT!!!
Boy did this need a lot more work to pull it off.
This was the Robin Hood movie I always wanted to see. I think that the telling of this story is done in such a manner that it attempts to show the viewer the real Robin Hood and not the Hollywood Robin. Times are represented with great detail and the hardships of the foot soldier are very well done. The time in which this film is set was probably one of the hardest times for the non noble and it is depicted greatly. Bravo
I enjoyed this version of the Robin Hood story. The acting was good and the cinematography was awesome.
Very good. Took a new spin on the story which worked really well in my mind.
Great movie. Russell Crowe was great.
Not the Richard Greene Robin Hood I remember but more compelling. Russel Crowe is always larger than life. Too much violence for my taste but I guess that's what was going on back then. They did an awsome job on presenting the fight weapons with historical accuracy. I thought Crowe's portrayal was more multi dimentional than Costner's.
Surprisingly good movie. Very enjoyable storyline. Alan from Great Big Sea did an amazing job in his role!
I liked it...not what I expected but not a bad movie, certainly not very realistic but I didn't really expect much
Thoroughly enjoyed the movie! Great action and acting combined with credible set(s). I've seen many versions of Robin Hood but for my money, this was the best. Will happily watch any sequel!
It is an entertaining movie... had a bit of action and very good scenery... but the story kinda twisted all that we know of Robin Hood... All in all it was a good movie but it lacked the "Nice" charisma of the earlier Robin Hood (Kevin Costner). Enjoy
Great adaptation from book to movie
Does anyone really need the umpteenth retelling of the 13th century legendary outlaw? Russell Crowe as Robin Longstride doesn't seem to be having any fun.Isn't he a bit long in the tooth and wide of the waist to be portraying action heroes? However,Cate Blanchette is a real firecracker as a self-possessed widow,Lady Marian and the cgi effect-driven battles are wall-to-wall. It's thrilling enough ,I suppose.
An intellectual treat! Not only was this movie action packed, it also had a depth to it. I really enjoyed watching this movie and I think it's definitely worth watching!
Very intense movie. I loved it! Some parts were a little slow, but that was needed to build the story. Can't wait for the second!
Like we needed another Robin Hood movie, and Russell Crowe needed to try to be the star. Waste of resources.
Very good story. Not sure why so many people gave it a bad review. Crowe is a way better robin hood than Costner.
russel did a great job,carried the true story of robin,
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.
