Critics Consensus

Ridley Scott's revisionist take on this oft-told tale offers some fine acting and a few gripping action sequences, but it's missing the thrill of adventure that made Robin Hood a legend in the first place.

Scott decided, I think, to get away from the whole campy thing in tights business and wanted to make this 'real'. So there is sweat and dirt and rats at the cheese and even bad teeth, which is fair enough, but it is also joyless.

C-

We never even get to see Robin steal from the rich and give to the poor. That's because the film is a prequel in search of a sequel. With any luck, we won't get one.

B-

Its $200-million budget is on the screen. This is a big-scale ambitious period epic in the 60s grand tradition. It seeks to retell a well-worn tale, to put old wine in a shiny new bottle.

Give me a Robin Hood that can beat the crap out of the Kevin Costner hero I grew up wearing a VHS tape out on and I'm good to go.

3.5/4

Robin Hood grasps the political and emotional climate of the legend, adding dimensions to the age-old tale that seems increasingly stale with each new interpretation.

... an origin story for the familiar myth with elements of class, royal politics, and the disillusionment of soldiers returning from the Crusades demoralized by a misguided quest.

Fenomenal película, cuando Hollywood tenia huevos. Nada de CGI barato y fenomenales actuaciones. Una pena que nunca hicieran una segunda parte. Mis respetos a esta peli, denle una oportunidad!

Overlong and convoluted plot that has no relation to the traditional legend and just uses the same character names in an ahistorical medieval setting. Numerous plot holes and inexplicable decisions.

Enjoyed this move and often re-watch it. Under-appreciated in it's day but holds the test of time!

Painfully dull storytelling that matches the bleak atmosphere throughout.

Story: 8/10 – A grounded, gritty take on the classic tale. The film focuses more on political intrigue and the origins of Robin Hood as a fighter for justice than on the traditional legend. Some pacing issues early on, but the story grows more compelling as it progresses. Visuals / Atmosphere: 9/10 – Ridley Scott delivers stunning cinematography. Battlefields, the forests, and medieval towns feel authentic and immersive. The film has a realistic, earthy tone that suits the story. Action: 8.5/10 – Battles are intense and visceral, though not as fast-paced as modern action films. The archery and sword fights feel weighty and realistic. Soundtrack: 8/10 – Marc Streitenfeld’s score is solid, supporting both tension and emotion without overshadowing the scenes. Performances: 8.5/10 – Russell Crowe is strong and grounded as Robin, Cate Blanchett brings elegance and subtlety as Lady Marian, and supporting roles are solid. Some dialogue feels stiff, but the actors carry it well. Overall: 8.4/10

Somewhat forgettable movie that's saved by Russell Crowe's performance as Robin Hood
