Review of Robin Hood

While watching Russel Crowe in Robin Hood, I momentarily went back to the movie Gladiator. Russel is a powerful actor and he manifested the same in this movie.

Russel Crowe as Robin is an archer in King Richard's (the Lionheart) army in England during the twelfth century. England’s downfall is on owing to taxation on their own people. Kingdom needs money so they take from the less powerful. After Richard killed in a battle, this injustice is taken even further when King Richard brother John (Oscar Isaac) takes over, serving the country as a tyrannical king with close friends, Godfrey (Mark Strong), in all the wrong places. Robin, along with his merry men and the aid of William Marshall (John Hurt), takes it into his own hands to reconstruct England’s laws and taxations, determined to overthrow the established values at all cost.

Robin united England Knights against the onslaught of French but as the danger evaded the King John forget his promise to make England peoples nation and declared Robin as OUTLAWS.
