Robin Hood

[TwinsenTacquito]

Movie felt like a series of clips that were slapped together badly. I haven't seen a movie with a budget have editing this bad in... possibly ever. Did they film it and then change the plot and try to use the same scenes in a different order or something?

This ISN'T another RH movie, though. It's WAY more about his becoming RH, than actually being RH - which is unlike the previous films. Again, I'm not saying it's a great movie, but I think people like the OP are heavily overreacting.

Yeah I know, it's essentially an origin story. One of the reviews I listened to said it was like having the entire Spiderman origin as a movie, then ending it right when he was bit by the spider, before he even gets the suit or anything.

The problem, as I see it (keep in mind I have yet to actually watch the film of course) is the film is essentially a period drama, with minimal amounts of action, and the drama is not all that compelling. I'm sure I will eventually see this, but it's not something I am really looking forward to all that much. Hopefully these lowered expectations will help me to enjoy the film.

:thumbsup: You made me want to see it again.

Allan Rickman is 100% why that movie is good.

Errol Flynn will roll over in his grave.

I went in with very, very, low expectations, and perhaps that's why I enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be awful, and it really wasn't. I do agree that the drama isn't compelling, but there is more action than I expected (based on what I had heard). I just really liked the way it came together.

If Alan Rickman was in every movie, we would have no more bad movies.

its pretty horrible. i walked in expecting to see gladiator epicness and walked out thinking "if only this film could be more kingdom of heaven".

yeah, horrible. they should have just named it something else because it had nothing to do with the actual robin hood story

For the record, check out Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut if you haven't already. Smoothed out a lot and puts it on par with Gladiator IMHO.

this.

Orlando Bloom still sucks, though.

I'll always like the Errol Flynn one the best. The Mel Brooks one is also good.

It'd be nice if they could do a really good modern Robin Hood. From what I hear the new one ain't good.

Anyone ever play the old Sierra adventure game "Conquest of the Longbow" ?

That was a phenominal Robin Hood game and told a good story too.

Is Prince John's voice the actor who played the slave owner in Spartacus?

This. It is a really crappy film.

I want the wasted 2 hours of my life back.

I thought it was a really good movie. Well told and well acted. I especially loved the different plots within the movie. B+ all the way. The only reason it was not an A movie was because it was painfully slow in the beginning.

 

[GasX]

Kevin Costner's Robin Hood was probably the best one I've ever seen. As much as I like Russel Crowe, this one I will pass

Kevin Costner's version was an afront to the Robin Hood legend. The new Russell Crowe movie is better by several orders of magnitude.

True Lies
Executive Decision
Inglorious Bastards


your opinion is worth less than worthless. froot

 

[Born2bwire]

I hope you are pulling my leg. Nobody could like that pile of horse shit

Nope. It's that horrible. The ending makes absolutely no sense either.

Spoiler

The whole film, Robin successfully mascarades as the son of Lord Locksley after the real Locksley dies and is buried by Robin in an unmarked grave. So how is it that John knows this in the end? God I hated that ending...

It seems that every damn period movie now needs a healthy dose of democratization into it.
