Review of Robin Hood (2018) by Fefehern — 28 Nov 2018

Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I had low expectations but the movie did its job of introducing the story and characters really well. The story was fine and helps flesh out the idea of Robin Hood. The main protagonist Robin is nice to follow, and the main antagonist the Sheriff of Nottingham is fleshed out better than any typical antagonist.

The best thing the movie does is show the relation between the two characters above. Robin has a reason why he's a rich guy in-day and a man who steals from the rich to give to the poor at night. The Sheriff has a reason why he's in his position of power and looks to keep the order of things current.

To me, Jamie Foxx's role has worked well, but I will leave that up to YMMV.

The worst thing is the other faceless adversaries the movie has. That, alongside a little too much romantic undertones and slightly confusing action scenes mark down the score by two points. Certain weak plot holes take off another point. I won't mark points off though for the infinite arrows because rich boy Hollywood movie.

I also want to criticize the movie for feeling like Netflix's Arrow (Green Arrow) but in the middle ages.
