Robin Hood

"This physically imposing picture brings abundant political-historical dimensions to its epic canvas, yet often seems devoted to stifling whatever pleasure audiences may have derived from the popular legend." 

"This rousing 'prequel' to the familiar Robin Hood tale strains to appeal to too many demographics. (...) It's 'Gladiator' in Sherwood Forest" 

"A high-tech and well made violent action picture using the name of Robin Hood for no better reason than that it’s an established brand not protected by copyright. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"Perhaps the worst, and most shameless, aspect of this tedious affair is that it's essentially a prequel for the Robin Hood better known for his redistribution of wealth. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"Grown-up but not too serious; action-packed but not juvenile… Not only is this the mullet-free Robin Hood movie we’ve been waiting decades for, it’s also Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe at their most entertaining since Gladiator. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"Cleverly reconciles disparate threads of the Robin Hood myth. (...) there's no doubting the strength and excellence of the film-making on display. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
