My 14 year old son fell asleep and I dozed off, boring movie
Good entertaining movie, my husband and I enjoyed it.
I had read mediocre reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Three things are factors in a romantic action movie to judge its effectiveness. 1. action must keep you on edge of your seat --- this movie had plenty of action though explanatory parts throughout required patience. If you are patient the twist on history was clever placing Robin Hood in the middle of these historical events. 2. Chemistry between lovers--- Cate Winslett is a marvel as an actress reminding one of a young Katherine Hephburn. Her sublte looks, postures and curious glances are terrific and Crowe and her have that chemistry that is hard to orchestrate. 3. Plot teases you to figure out the outcome- A good not great
superb!
it was good, not great. not enough action to keep me attentive and in turn the movie seemed to drag on. I would wait until it came out on dvd
Really good movie, make sure you pay attention though. the action in this movie is awesome, and protrays great the mideivil times. overal really good movie, is a must see:) russell crow was amazing once again
Went to watch the movie with my gf, both of us almost fell asleep.. very boring
I like the way how Director Ridley Scott tried to connect history with the legend of Robin Hood, which made it unique. Despite the fact that some people were complaining about this is really NOT a Robin Hood movie. Psssh, think about it folks, it is a story about how Robin Hood become who he is, how could he become Robin Hood when he is already doing trick arrow shoots? 4.5/5 for the movie, my only problem is that it is TOO LONG! Really could cut off some scenes make it at 2 hours at MAX!
Simply captivating! Loved how this likely trilogy has begun ?.
Great movie. Go and see it, you wont be disapointed.
Decent.. but nothing in the movie really stood out. movie itself is quite long too..3 stars
Great back story and it was nice to finally see Robin Hood played by a man rather than little pretty boys.
Although there has been a many attempts at telling the Robin Hood legend on film.. this is a new take that I found appealing. Scott's retelling of the Robin Hood myth is more a prequel than anything. Telling the story of BEFORE he became Robin in the Hood. Enjoyed Crowe's portrayal of the hero.
Some people truely have absolutely NO taste for movies. The trailer hyped me up but in the end this movie was a piece of trash. I couldnt watch till the end it was that bad.
we really liked the movie it was nice to get out for a little while
I saw it opening night. Ok, I think it was a smidge too close to Gladiator..but then again it's the same director and actor. I liked Kate's acting as it made up for her looking like a mule kicked her. Sorry but even without make up and she's a farming commoner, wasn't maid Marion supposed to still be beautiful? At least somewhat visually appealing to be wanted by so many men? It was a different take on the story and I liked that. The action was good too. Totally worth seeing.
Very drawn out ..some serious lag...and it should have been more about john $ Robin ...one on one not this....kill the french spy and fight the french on a beach... not happy ....want refund..two stars for special effects....
I've seen this all before. There were no surprises because the story is so well known. Yes the actors were good, but overall it was just good, certainly not excellent, and I for one am not interested in any sequel.
scott and russel at their best worth a watch hoping for a sequel.
Enjoyed the movie very much, can't wait for the sequel.
It was ok. Would have been a lot better with an attractive love interest for Crowe.
Russell Crowe makes Robin Hood believable! unlike the previous sissies and homeboys who played Ribin Hood. The story makes sense and keeps you interested all throughout the movie.
The movie wasn't bad. Although it seemed to jump around a little too much early in the film. It seemed that one second we were in England the next in France consistently. Would have been better with a little more action.
sucked. so boring i probably could have fallen asleep. such a disappointment i was hoping for something good!
Great movie! what a way to open up for the summer movies... And to the bozo who walked out after 5 mins in to the movie, "you really dont know anything about movies. you are the type that probably did very bad in school. That's why u left in the begining of the movie where it had a lot of history about the legend". And to all others, dont listen to him. This movie is worth watching.
A must see! Brilliant! Russel Crowe did an awsome job!
absolutely LOVED it!
FREAKING INCREDIBLE! What an awesome ride, the only thing I would change, is Robin's (Russell Crowe) hair to BLACK and longer. Lol. Other than that it was awesome! A great thrill ride and run to watch, 5 stars! Good beginning to a 3 movie series I hope, or more!
Kevin Costner should have done this.
I'm sorry, but I thought this movie was dreadful. My boyfriend and I were so excited to see it, and it was so boring. Both of us almost fell asleep in the theatre. The acting was fine, no complaints there. But the story line wasn't easy to follow, there was no action, and during what little action there was, the camera was awful. It was so shaky you couldn't make out what was going on. And though I like both Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchette, there was no chemistry between them. No spark. There were a few moments that give a small laugh, but those were few and far between. There was nothing exciting, no edge of the seat thrills, nothing to keep us riveted and engaged. Give this one a miss or
Its a long movie, but very well made a new twist to Robin Hood. Well done.
It's a long movie, but very well made. Not your avg Robin Hood movie.
Could have been a good story but it was rushed. Characters were never built and so there were no emotional ties to them.
Brilliant! There will be definately a sequel/chronicle to this movie. Great acting, great action. A must see.
A must see movie. It was really good. Lots of action. Loved it!
Surprisingly good movie!
noway near looks like RobinHood (Russell Crowe). I like the Old classic Robin hood Film.Robin Hood: Men in Tights(Cary Elwes)and Rrobin Hood Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner) This Film not good.
Make sure you get good seats because that's about the only good thing you'll experience about this movie.
the best movie I ever saw in my entire life on this plant we call earth it's a must see film
loved it...new twist on an old tale
