I'm not familiar with the Robin Hood story, aside from knowing that he has a bow and robs people to give to the poor. This movie focuses on monarchies, king this and peasants that, which is neat. I enjoy looking at the costumes and battles.
But Cate Blanchett, who I liked in Elizabeth and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, sadly reverts to her dull side that unintentionally worked as Galadriel among the dispassionate elves in The Lord of the Rings. She doesn't have that spark as an actress, so Lady Marion was less interesting than her blind father in-law.
Crowe was good in this, but he had a strange accent. What is Robin supposed to be? British, or something else? It seemed like Crowe was trying to sound British, but there was another voice under it that made it a bit odd for me. Unfortunately, Robin doesn't do much robbing in this movie which gives Crowe less to work with. His change from "looking out for myself" to "caring for others and never giving up" isn't as strong or exciting as it should have been.
Elsewhere, there are cruel characters that are just plain unlikeable. Yes, they are villains, but I didn't care for the selfish King John or Mark Strong in another one-dimensional villain role. I actually missed the climax of the final fight, so I assume his character died. Again, I wouldn't have cared. He couldn't even convincingly kill a blind man, and watching him torment innocent villagers made this overlong movie all the more tiresome.
Overall, this movie started out well and had potential to be a new twist on the classic story. But there is just not much going on and it really bogs things down. The romance between Blanchett's widow and Robin felt forced as there were simply not enough scenes to develop their relationship. I probably would not watch it again, despite liking the first half. It rises above Scott's dull Gladiator, but not by much.

I couldn't hear what the characters were saying, there were too many long talking scenes, the battles were confusing as to who was fighting who and why. The best moments in the movie where 1. when you can see the arrow leaving Robin Hood's bow in extreme slow motion, and 2. when the King screams in the weirdest way possible, "I declare him to be an OUTLAAAAAW!!" (It still cracks me up). Other than that, this movie is not worth seeing. It just doesn't work. Click losmovies watch movies free now.
ReplyDeleteRussell Crowe seems to fat, too old, and too uninteresting to present a romantic or convincing Robin Hook to the screen. He tries to pull it off like an athletic shot-putter in what should be a ballet. Robin Hood should not be played like a gladiator. Gee, Sly Stallone could do same ( just as bad a job) as Crowe did for 10% of Russell's pay!The producers should have signed someone 20 years younger. .

I'm surprised by the performance of Academy Award Winners Ridly Scott, Cate Blanchett, and Russell Crowe. This movie is a disgrace to them. I have 3 reasons why this movie is bad. 1. Very boring 2. Has stuff that the watcher doesn't need to know about 3. A Disgrace. I got so flicked off at the end of the movie i just wanted to go up on the screen and tear it down. This movie felt like it was 5 hours long!!! I wasn't the only one asleep. I heard someone snoring in the front seat of me. It about a person who fights and becomes a hero and later his name turns in to Robin Hood. Come on actors/actresses try again! I'll give this a 2/10
