Below are photos from "ROBIN HOOD", director Ridley Scott's new adaptation of the English folklore hero. Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Mark Strong star:
Watch robin hood 2010 full movie free on zmovies now. For a "prequel to the Robin Hood legend," casting surly, bitter-looking actors in their 40s as Robin and Marian was the first mistake. The bigger problem, though, was the completely joyless, humorless approach to the Robin Hood story. This movie is just straight revenge porn: Richard dead right off the bat to remove any promise of better times to come, evil Frenchmen locking villagers into barns to burn them alive, gratuitous killings of sympathetic characters for no better reason than to set up a revenge scenario, etc. And don't get me started on the wooden WW2-style landing craft in the "reverse D-day" finale. The whole thing feels like a remake of Gladiator in medieval England, with characters randomly assigned names from the Robin Hood legend. The feel-bad movie of the summer.

The only positive thing I can say about this film is the excellent production and filming. What a melange of near incomprehensible accents! Russell Crowe - Australian, Cate Blanchett - Australian, Max von Sydow - Scandinavian. Much of the dialogue is barely intelligible. The lines spoken in French had subtitles (the only lines I could understand with my high school French!). This is unlike any Robin Hood you may have seen before. Of course there was only ONE Robin Hood - Errol Flynn. All others are only feeble imitations. The battle scenes were impressive. But Robin fighting with a long handled hammer??? Admittedly it was effective against the helmeted French, but, as I said, unlike any other Robin Hood. And the landing craft for the French Fleet? Did they buy discarded WWII LST's used to land our Allied Forces on Normandy Beach? Overly long, overly talky, they could have talked the French to death. Definitely a disappointment and, in my book (and my wife's) not worth seeing. At least Mel Brooks' version "Men in Tights" gave us a few laughs.
