United States	Justin Chang Variety	"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."	NEU
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"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)"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"This rousing 'prequel' to the familiar Robin Hood tale strains to appeal to too many demographics. (...) It's 'Gladiator' in Sherwood Forest"	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"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)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"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)"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"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)"	NEG
