Absolutely Fantastic

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Entertaining film which doesn't really stick to the original legend of Robin Hood. I mean the bulk of the film could have been written about some random person, and you don't see any of the tale of the folk hero until near the end. Having said that, it's not a bad film to watch but not as good as Robin Hood Prince of thieves.

Movie Review: "Robin Hood" (2010)An early-on World Premiere at Cannes Film Festival in its 63rd Edition, "Robin Hood" reinvented to a medieval-warfare-realism approach by director Ridley Scott delivers action-adventure-entertainment all around with a committed as matching leading couple portrayed by Cate Blanchett as Marion and Russell Crowe as Robin.If the audience expected witches at black masses, they are in the wrong movie. This "Robin Hood" comes closer to Ridley Scott's signature-defining masterpiece "Gladiator" (2000), which nevertheless shows the patience and pacing of a matured director in this one and only 130-Minute theatrical cut by long-term collaborator at Scott Free productions editor Pietro Scalia, sharing massive depth-of-field in fulminate-translated 200-Million-Dollar production budget towards green-dominated rural English landscapes, on-set location of taking action with hand, sword, bow and arrow, accompanied by down-to-earth convincing property as costume designs by Janty Yates.Director Ridley Scott convinced by shooting a Three-Camera-Capturing-System executed to full immersive states of tracking, pushing, pulling and booming camera angles of superior production values by cinematographer John Mathieson preaching utmost hyper-realism in elements of fire, earth and water; decisive moments when "Robin Hood" (2010) is able to exceed the further comic-beats-entertaining "Prince of Thieves" starring Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman as Sheriff of Nottingham of summer 1991. This "Robin Hood" should have been a smash hit of Holiday Season 2010/2011, when a summer-leisure-seeking target audience of the young, beautiful adult identifying with supporting cast was not sufficient conviction in a nevertheless gripping screenplay by Brian Helgeland, blessed in ranging plot-interpretations from actor Oscar Isaac over actress Léa Seydoux to Mark Strong as menacing Robin's character nemesis Godfrey, when acting mastery by William Hurt and Max von Sydow brings additional calmly-received empathetic relations in constant-conflicting, fight-for-your-right characters translated into cold-winter-months pleasures and thrills of several-watches-possible, high-end motion picture entertainment.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend

I have watched this movie 3 times in a time line of 4 years and yet i m writing the review in 2017 cz Robin hood deserves to be watched by every one who lives out of normal DC OR Marvel universe. With an intense story line and incredible shot of small town it was little darker version of my childhood superhero. incredible tid bits are what sold this movie to be in my list of watch it again movie like 5. When crowe rescues cate from the quicksand and the mayor comes and cate gives this "beaming glance" to the mayor when crowe carries her away. 4.the intimacy between the two characters when they dance by the fire. 3.the arrow short sequence from the mountain. Breathtaking!!! 2. the sassy queen mother talking the mistress out in queenly manner to save her son and the country. 1. When hood is declared an outlaw the mayor puts a poster on the tree and he asks for something to nail the poster and there comes swinging my favorite shot of the entire movie. Ridley Scott has never disappointed when it comes to his art of direction. The angle to description of each element is detailed.

Famed director Ridley Scott presents a tale unlike any of the Robin Hood you may know. He is not even referred to as "Robin of the Hood" until the film's conclusion. Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) comes across a dying Sir Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge)and promises to return the man's sword to his family. Robin will assume the man's identity; romance Loxley's wife, Marion (Cate Blanchett) and manages to really draw the wrath of area outlaws as well as the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen).Scott's film actually tells the story of how a man can become Robin Hood and what happens to villages and countries that create such heroes. This is a well made movie with an extremely high level of talent. Well choreographed sequences of action and fighting.Top shelf cast also includes: Max von Sydow, Mark Addy, William Hurt, Oscar Isaac, Danny Huston, Mark Strong, Lea Seydoux, Scott Grimes and Kevin Durand.
