Darker, grittier take on the Robin Hood legend
The legend of Robin Hood is a Hollywood staple that has served as fodder for countless adventure films. Due to remakes and reinterpretations on a regular basis, the story was drained of tension a long time ago, leaving almost no new ground to explore. Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights in 1993 was the last cinematic take on the st... read more
Well filmed but felt quite empty.

" This Ridley Scott version of the tail that's been told too many times isn't bad. It's got a lot of the elements I like about bow-and-arrow movies, yet it's about Robin Hood, a character and story that I perceive as more jaunty and light-hearted, this movie is just so serious and dark. Once again, that's not an entirely bad thing, just not a version I prefer. Plus it's kind of boring compared to past versions. "
“I love Robin Hood, and I do like Ridley Scott's films, so this did have the ingredients to be good. Sadly, while it was a valiant attempt, it didn't work for me. The film does look good, with the cinematography excellent and the sets, scenery and costumes authentic enough. The score was a nice touch, it wasn't amazing, but it worked on the whole thanks to some beautiful orchestration. Overall, the archery, fighting and sword play were well handled, Scott's direction is assured and there are some bright spots in the cast namely Oscar Isaac, Max Von Sydow and Mark Strong.
Conversely, my main problem with this film is that it doesn't feel like a Robin Hood movie. If anything it feels like a sequel to Gladiator, but with a less compelling story and bad dialogue. Yes I understand it i” read more
"15/4/17 Ridley Scott's ambitious retelling of the legend of Robin Hood but events just after the crusades is a long and laborious film with plenty of well executed set pieces but dodgy accents abound and a lack of humour to lighten an otherwise deadly series film. Thankfully, Mark Strong and Oscar Issac save the day. The final battle scene is more like the opening of Saving Private Ryan but with arrows. "
