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

Honestly, I enjoyed the movie. It had a medieval base but the style gave a modern twist for a specific purpose. The people revolting against a corrupt government, pushing them to fight/pay for wars that only they benefit from, who doesn't want to see the underdogs kick their a**? IfHonestly, I enjoyed the movie. It had a medieval base but the style gave a modern twist for a specific purpose. The people revolting against a corrupt government, pushing them to fight/pay for wars that only they benefit from, who doesn't want to see the underdogs kick their a**? If anything, watch the movie to support that message!

My teenage girls loved it ... but I think for different reasons.… Expand

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 NottinghamHonestly, 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.

Overall, a good movie… Expand

It's not that bad, but it's kinda stupid. It can be watched, but the screenwriting really sucks. All stereotipilicall stuff, not so good hollywood screenplay. Its funnny and you can watch it, but younhave to shut down your brain a little bit.

What the hell is this? On the very first 15 min I have seen an American war movie with things like "the crusades .on Afghanistan." or "the sheriff of Nottingham" sending recruitment letters to the people.
25 min have been enough to see that this is not robin hood movie. Another ruined movieWhat the hell is this? On the very first 15 min I have seen an American war movie with things like "the crusades .on Afghanistan." or "the sheriff of Nottingham" sending recruitment letters to the people.
25 min have been enough to see that this is not robin hood movie. Another ruined movie because a terrible script. North American people, really, learn more about other cultures and stop adapting other cultures history or legends into your single vision of the world.
In summary, do not put a minute into this movie.… Expand

Orrendo, frettoloso non segui nemmeno un filo logico sulle ambientazione e attori più finti che mai
