Robin Hood - Movie Review

The day before yesterday, I watched Robin Hood (the newest version with Russel Crow). And I have to admit, it's a damned good movie. Some people told me that it wasn't that great, I think I have to slap those people in da face! It had great action scenes, good storyline, great actors. I had to laugh at certain scenes so hard, and I normally don't laugh that fast. So if you haven't seen this movie yet, go out and buy/download/rent it! That's an order!!

Points (8/10)

Storyline

Birth of a legend. Following King Richard's death in France, archer Robin Longstride, along with Will Scarlett, Alan-a-Dale and Little John, returns to England. They encounter the dying Robert of Locksley, whose party was ambushed by treacherous Godfrey, who hopes to facilitate a French invasion of England. Robin promises the dying knight he will return his sword to his father Walter in Nottingham. Here Walter encourages him to impersonate the dead man to prevent his land being confiscated by the crown, and he finds himself with Marian, a ready-made wife. Hoping to stir baronial opposition to weak King John and allow an easy French take-over, Godfrey worms his way into the king's service as Earl Marshal of England and brutally invades towns under the pretext of collecting Royal taxes. Can Robin navigate the politics of barons, royals, traitors, and the French?
