Robin Hood

I’ve watched this film twice and I still love it, exciting and has a great twist on the original story

What did I like..Emma that's easy, Taron & Jamie's banter & their BROTHERLY Relationship, Jamie's is Always there when you don't expect it.. Taron can come & take anything he wants, he's Hot & an Actor who will soon be in Bigger productions because he's #1 eye candy along with his great acting!!Donna.UK xx

Good film and enjoyedit

An eye opener.

If you approach this movie with an "eh ... whatever!" attitude then it won't be too bad. In fact it's quite enjoyable.If you're hoping for something true to the Robin Hood legend and to the period ... forget it.Bows and arrows suddenly become like automatic weapons. The movie tries to give a whole Jonathan Wick type action feel. With films like this where they modernise nearly everything so much so that there's no medieval feeling or atmosphere whatsoever, you have to ask why they even bothered. To fix this it really only takes two adjustments to make this a fun escapist movie, which might have been what they were going for:(1) Make the story about someone other than Robin Hood. Other than the names of characters and the bit about stealing form the rich and giving to the poor, there's really nothing else resembling the Robin Hood legend. The plot and even the characters don't really match the names except in a superficial sense.(2) Change the setting and time period or go to a fantasy setting. This movie works so much better as say 19th century with revolvers and repeating rifles combined with swords etc. A steampunk approach might not go amiss. In fact, judging from the wardrobe it might have been what the director really wanted.

Everything was wonderful

I ordered this film and then realised the appalling reviews it had got, nevertheless it came I watched, I love my films but this was the strangest film I have seen. It had good action through out, great scenery and some stunning sets, that being said I simply could not keep my attention on it, just seemed all wrong, after an hour I turned it off which is not my way, can't figure out what's missing but It's extremely difficult to watch??Well I gave it another look without the preconceptions I had from reading the bad reviews which is what spoiled my first attempt to watch it, I expected it to be a load of rubbish.If you view it as a completely different slant and interpretation it's not bad at all, in fact it's something different done very well. Some customers have assumed that Little John is portrayed by a black fellow, there is no Little John in this film, Jamie Fox's part is a Moor commander called Jahya, and there is no Will Scarlet in the vain of Robin's half brother its Will Tillman, this is why films get ambiguous reviews because people watch them then write about what they thought they saw rather than the actual film and its content and own merit. No merry band of men from Sherwood Forrest however the Forrest is mentioned in the last few minute, it's a film to be watched for it's own creative talent.
