Robin Hood

[morris]

I must admit I dozed off during one of the long speech bits. His romance with Marion did seem to spring up out of nowhere and I felt ol' Russ is getting a bit long in the tooth for this action man stuff. so yeah. maybe andy lowe wasn't so far off the mark with this one.
I really would have prefered to see Prince of Persia but it didn't start till the following week.

PERHAPS THE FILM IS FOR KIDS RATHER THAN ADULTS
MY SON GALEN (AGE 12) SAW IT AND HE SAYS


Of course, the scenery is mainly woods and villages, but at the end the white cliffs of Dover make an appearance. The plot is different from other movies based on the Robin Hood legend. It’s fair to say that this movie is much more grisly and nitty-gritty than it’s previous counterparts. It burns the image of the Robin Hood in green tights and replaces it with a robin hood where nothing is what it seems. The acting is very good although at some points in the movie Russell Crowe sounds a bit Irish.
VERDICT: a must see action movie that wipes away the glamour of Hollywood and replaces it with the dirt and grime of 13th century England.
