The New Robin Hood
So for this weekend I watched the new Robin Hood movie with Russel Crow. I liked it, I was a little skeptical going in cause you can do Robin Hood really bad with very minimal effort. However, this was not your standard Robin Hood movie in fact this version really didn't have anything to do with other versions I've seen. But what the hell not like any of them really go along with British history real well. So this version was kind of a mix between Braveheart, Gladiator, and Richard Gere movie called Sommersby (don't ask). And the way it was filmed was interesting it kind of had a dark tent to like how they filmed Dark Knight so I think that added to the intensity of the movie. And hey lets face it who wouldn't want Russel Crow to be your Knight in shinning armor and come same you from the sheriff of Nottingham, I digress. So overall I liked the movie and the story was really good. So if your in the mood for a Robin Hood flick you might want to check it out but if you can watch the Director's Cut version there are better scenes in that one.

Oh and one more thing it is also a mix of the Lord of the Flies at little bit to.......
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yeah, it was a mix of all of those. I saw it in theaters--as I recall, there was nothing else out to watch, really, otherwise I would have given it a pass. But I'm glad I saw it. At the very least, it was definitely an "adventure" film with a hero, a villain, and a beautiful-but-strong ladylove (Cate Blanchett, need I say more?). It was NOT the well-known Robin Hood story we all love, but I was open-minded enough to not really care. It had a good story, was well filmed, and I liked the characters. I too would recommend it, if only for a good action story.
