Review of Robin Hood

The worst movie directed by Ridley Scott that I've had the misfortune of watching. The film's creators make the fatal mistake of creating a Robin Hood story that is neither rooted in myth or the history of the period it is set in. With neither of these things to ground the story, we end up with a generic drama that could have been set anywhere and anytime, so why call it Robin Hood at all? The end result is similar to the the ridiculous Sherlock Holmes movie, also from last year. Being disrespectful of the source material rarely results in a good movie, and it's true here as well.
