Sue W @RT98976880 4 days ago I think this is underrated. Solid acting, enjoyed it very much. Loved the music. See more Deborah C @wadj80 Aug 27, 2026 Very disappointed in the story which has been told differently. Not much action and low key acting. See more Lou T @Loutilley Aug 18, 2026 I was held spellbound as a child by the Erol Flynn Robn. In the many years since, there have been nearly as many re-makes. Fine by me. I even enjoyed Mel Brook's spoof. I loved Sean Connery and Audry Hepburn's mid-life spin. I finally came across the Ridley Scott version last night, and it caught me at the right time. And i'm so glad. I give it 5-full stars for this imaginative take. It was not until the very end that I realized that yes, indeed, it is what we no call a prequil. Again, fine by me. I have read the negative reactions, and while I understand those who miss the swashbuckle, they miss the subtle seeds of the legend in the making - and the last few scene do give it birth! It is just fine. In fact, it it far better. It is excellent! If you are a fan of "the man" - give this Robin a shot! It's a bullseye. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 29, 2026 Robin Hood takes a very different approach to the legend, treating it as a historical epic instead of a swashbuckling adventure. Ridley Scott focuses on politics, warfare, and leadership, creating a believable origin story for the legendary outlaw. The medieval world feels authentic throughout, with outstanding cinematography, impressive battle sequences, and production design that give the film the scale you'd expect from one of Scott's historical dramas. Russell Crowe brings a quiet confidence to Robin as a battle-hardened soldier, while Cate Blanchett gives Marion far more strength and independence than many previous adaptations. Their chemistry helps keep the story grounded amid the larger political conflicts. The biggest drawback is that the movie spends so much time establishing Robin's origins that it ends just as he's becoming the character most audiences came to see. Even so, it's a well-made and interesting reinterpretation that succeeds on its own terms. See more Emma C @RT73666177 Jun 27, 2026 As an enthusiast of Ridley Scott's Gladiator (one who has stood in the arena with Maximus!), this film did not dissapoint! Upholding truth and honour in dark times and resisting the Hollywood trend of debased morals is Russel Crowe's forte. In an age that has grown suspicious of virtue, Robin Hood quietly insists on nobility of conscience. It is the kind of film future generations will rediscover. Both protagonists are men of exceptional honour thrust into unjust systems. Both fight not for glory but for something beyond themselves — family, people, principle. Both depict moral courage as costly, not convenient. Both are set against corrupt power that has forgotten its duty to the people. Where Gladiator lets us cheer for virtue from the stands, Robin Hood asks us to carry it through the mud ourselves — and fewer audiences are willing to make that journey. Both films will endure; only one has already been given its due. See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector Jun 24, 2026 Rating: 6.3/10 ⭐️ Wanted to see Scott and Crowe team up for a gritty origin story. Expected a fun adventure, but the dense plotting and bleak tone kinda drained the life out of it. What Worked: • Massive battles honestly look incredible with heavy, realistic weight. • Oscar Isaac is fantastic as Prince John, totally stealing his scenes. • Sweeping shots of the English countryside look beautiful and completely pop. The Friction: • The fake-identity part in Nottingham really dragged for me during tax disputes. • Crowe’s performance honestly felt a bit too stoic to connect with early on. Verdict: Watch for a gritty, slow-burn epic. Skip if you want lighthearted fun. See more Read all reviews
