    Robin Hood

    Yeah.... I just finished watching it. I didn't really like it.
    I wanted to like it, but it never really grabbed me. There was pretty much NO character development at all. Good potential story, but it seemed like it was just rushed in too many ways.
    Don't know... I can't really say I recommend it. I'm kinda disappointed.

    I would give it a marginal thumbs up. I saw it on a rainy day with nothing else to do. It passed the time but, the moment it was over I was thinking about where I would go eat and not the movie, never a good sign. At least I didn't fall asleep during it and then get up and leave like I did for Ironman 2 and Transformers 2.
    I would say wait for the dvd to come out and rent, don't buy.

      I'm a big Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe fan and am willing to take the good with the bad, so it will go in my collection when it is released on Blu-ray. And the fact that Bob didn't fall asleep tells me it can't be all that bad.

          There was a 2-hour show on the History Channel this week titled The Real Robin Hood that interspersed "interviews" with Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett amongst those of historians, military historians, and recreations of various scenes from English history that deal with both the legend and research into the possible existence of a true Robin Hood. Nothing earthshaking came out of it but it was a fairly entertaining couple of hours.

          One thing I did find interesting was Russell Crowe's comment that they had re-set the story to look more into the defense of man's rights and not so much the steal from the rich and give to the poor we're accustomed to seeing.

            Wait... a modern day shift AWAY from "redistribution of wealth"? There's a change...

              Ridley Scott's ROBIN HOOD
              by George Bellefontaine
              Although Ridley Scott is rarely favored by the critics, he is one of my favorite filmmakers. Few directors today can bring a story and character(s) to life as well as he does, even though the studios often try to murder his work. In the case of ROBIN HOOD, he takes a totally different approach than...

              Treasure of Sierra Madre, Adventures of Robin Hood, Yankee Doodle Dandy
              by Danbry39
              Warners is releasing all three September 30th. All three will be two disc packages and there will be a set with all three.

              Anyone going to get any of these? I've long wanted Treasure of Sierra Madre, but think I might spring for all three. Robin Hood is still one of the best adventure...

              by David Meek
              All,

              I saw this at another forum and thought I'd pass it along. I haven't verified it yet. . . .

              If you've encountered this, please let us know.

              P.S. I'm going to make this a "sticky" for a few days - just in case.

              The Adventures Of Robin Hood ( 1938 )
              by George Bellefontaine
              I picked this up on Blu-ray last week and got around to watching it last night. All I can say about the PQ is WOW ! I was 2 years old when this was released in theaters and by the time I was old enough to appreciate seeing it in a theater, the picture was well worn and filled with streaks. Seeing this...
