Review of Robin Hood (2010) by Candy R — 31 Jan 2013
The movie sets the background to the legend of Robin Hood. Russell has got a lot of stick over his accent but his character is endearing. He starts the movie as an expert archer in King Richard's army, who invaded France during the crusades.
When the King dies, Robin and his men return to England. The new King John is greedy and corrupt, oppressing his people with heavy taxes and killing people who won't pay. Robin goes to Nottingham where he meets and falls for Marion.
Fryer Tuck and the sheriff of Nottingham are introduced to Robin. They join forces to defend England against the French invasion by King Philip. Great story and battle scenes. Cate Blanchett plays a great fiesty Marion.
Russell is the perfect dashing hero. I loved this movie as there was fighting, betrayal and romance. Simply brilliant. I think it's my favourite Russell Crowe movie. I grew up with Kevin Costner's Robin Hood but this movie is much better.
Ridley Scott at his best.
