Review of Robin Hood (2010) by Vanya M — 30 Mar 2012

While the rest of the world, for the most part anyway, seems to have a hate-on for Ridley Scott's intrepretation of Robin Hood, I beg to differ. Ok, so there's no Errol Flynn, or Alan Rickman, or Sean Connery, and the movie is basically a prequel, but none of that matters to me.

Sure there are some things in the edit that could have been tightened up a little and that they should have stuck with the original title 'Nottingham,' but I found it to be terrific. It's not the finest incarnation of the story, but it's a great crowd-pleaser with more going for it than just another reiteration of a classic character.
