Robin Hood is no classic, but if it sometimes seems like it’s trying to be “Baz Luhrmann’s Robin Hood,” more power to it. The movie is a diverting live-wire lark — one that, for my money, gets closer to the spirit of what Robin Hood is about than the logy 1991 Kevin Costner version or the dismal 2010 Russell Crowe version.

The action is violent and improbable but not staged with particular pizazz. Read full review

You could build a suspension bridge over the gap between what Robin Hood could have been and what it is. Its hero is credible as a man who wants to rob from the rich and give to the poor, but the storytelling is so impoverished that the message can't stick. Read full review

Like Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur, this tries hard to do something new and exciting with an old formula. It quickly makes you wish for something more traditional and straightforward. Read full review

The plot is twisty in a perfunctory way, the action predictably explosive, the sought-after exhilaration nonexistent. Read full review

There’s nothing particularly memorable about Robin Hood even when you’re laughing at it, and that may be one of the saddest fates a movie can meet. Read full review

Mendelsohn's villain is boringly one-note, Eve Hewson's Marion uses an incongruous Yank accent and always looks as though she's just stepped out of the makeup trailer, F. Murray Abraham swans around in fancy cardinal's vestments looking sinister and Foxx seems pissed off that he's not somewhere, perhaps anywhere, else. As for Egerton, he's a boy doing a man's job.

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say this is a bad movie. THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's like if a critic says a movie is bad everyone wants to follow suit instead of taking this movie for what it really is, which is really REALLY good. I absolutely LOVED thisI can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say this is a bad movie. THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's like if a critic says a movie is bad everyone wants to follow suit instead of taking this movie for what it really is, which is really REALLY good. I absolutely LOVED this movie. The movie flowed, it catches you're attention from start to finish, you are on the edge of your seat. It starts with romance which continues into a story line that grabs your attention with war and tragedy to hope. HOPE! Go......See.....This.....Movie! You will not regret it. Action packed, moving and very entertaining.… Expand

I'm amazed by how low the ratings are for this, because when I watched it, it kept me entertained and riveted.

Nice action movie, dunno why so hate. What have people wanted from this movie? Dramatic teenage problems? Marvel style movie? Movie is not boring, it's cool to watch it in cinema.

This movie is shockingly bad. For evidently having a large budget this movie could of been made by first year film students. Literaly no redeeming qualities beyond perhaps the direciton they went with the first 5 minutes sort of a "modern filter" on medievil warfare.

Very poor, avoid if possible.

Dismal. At its core, it commits a similar sin as Ridley Scott's 2010 film, which is still far more accomplished and satisfying overall.

At its core, it commits a similar sin as Ridley Scott's 2010 film, which is still far more accomplished and satisfying overall. It does not realize Robin Hood's charm is best encapsulated by Errol Flynn, committing acts of daring (yes, in tights) with a heavy dose of mischief, romance, and whimsy.

Scott used Robin as a bizarre Trojan horse to dramatize the origin of the Magna Carta and revisit beats in Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. This film posits the Sheriff of Nottingham is a war profiteer responsible in large part for the Crusades in the Holy Land, and he forces the Nottingham peasantry to live in and around mines (an industrial wasteland out of Mad Max); it is as overblown as it is preposterous. (The cringe-worthy opening voice-over edgily assures us, "This is no bedtime story.") One longs for a charismatic bandit in the forest instead of a po-faced revolutionary in leather.

Director Otto Bathurst's approach feels schizophrenic, as if he followed a different studio mandate every other day on set. At times the picture plays as a fairly standard Hollywood-style medieval adventure, albeit not a very impressively staged one, but then there are abrupt, bizarre lapses into Moulin Rouge!-style anachronism and badly outdated aesthetics in the vein of 300, including egregious overuse of computer-enhanced slow motion. It never finds a consistent stylistic rhythm; the comics-panel end credits, following a sad tease of a sequel we will never see, suggest perhaps the intention was to pretend Robin Hood is a superhero, the -first- first Avenger. Who knows?

And though it presumably enjoyed a healthy budget, the production feels cut-rate at points, from obvious use of green-screen to official edicts and wanted posters that appear as if they were created in Microsoft Word by an intern using the most "antique" font he or she could find on the drop-down menu

Everyone in the strong-on-paper cast responds to the void by either appearing adrift (Jamie Foxx has no clue how to play his role, an Arab man trying to avenge his son's death at the hands of English soldiers, and spends his time on screen squinting and changing his accent) or doubling down on what they assume is expected of them (Ben Mendelsohn uses every snide sneer and bellicose growl in his toolbox to play the oddly stationary role of the Sheriff). I was particularly disappointed by how unimpressive Bono's daughter Eve Hewson is as Maid Marian, here conceived as an improbably stylish quasi-social activist. She delivered a sublime performance (at times eerie, at times sensual, at time vulnerable) on Steven Soderbergh's The Knick, one of my favorite television series, but none of the magnetism is on display in her first high-profile on-the-poster film role.… Expand

Aburrida, arruina la historia original y es poco atractiva, el doblaje al latino es horrible y las actuaciones no son nada buenas, definitivamente es de lo peor del año.

Nope... Just nope... This movie should’ve never been made, It is the most generic, Boring, Stupid, terrible, disgusting, ugly, dull, and pointless movie I’ve ever watched, No one asked for this, not a single person...

Even the actors, who are usually good... Give such dull performances... Robin Hood should stick too fluffy animals I guess...… Expand
