Terrible terrible story, overloaded with 'politically correct' clichés. The Trump-like speech. The 'strong empowered woman' but still with lots of cleavage. A 'representative' mix of black and white actors... in medieval England?? School play storylines are way better.
Apart from that, the action scenes were not half bad. Although just as non-sensical as the story :)
Where do you start with a version as original as this. A well known story concerning a hero figure fighting against the oppressive system. A well known story with multiple versions hitting the big screen. So how do you make "yet another version" that isn't compared to all the others? Easy, change the period or more accurately make the period different, introduce a bit of the Afgan war for younger reference, update the weapons, make the theat more Hollywood and yell ACTION. Sure, if you are a Robin Hood purist or history buff you might get upset but as a piece of cinema this is pure fun. A little odd in places (if you are English) but a good watch.
It's almost as much fun as reading some of the reviews complaining that it is not historically accurate or doesn't stick to the story of RoL. Which version exactly?! No, the clothes are not accurate, no they didn't have magazines loaded shoulder weapons or machine gun type long bows but which part of this story do you seriously consider accurate? Forget the versions that have gone before and enjoy it for what it is.

We arguably didn't need yet another cinematic reimaging of the age old tale of Robin Hood and his merry band of followers, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, but after the last big screen treatment faired so poorly in the form of the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott version in 2010, I for one was totally up for another stab at the classic tale, aware that the material still has the potential to entertain now just as well as it first did many moons ago.
Sadly the new Robin Hood is frankly not that good, an often bizarre and mostly charmless affair that sees Robin of Loxley become some type of Assassin's Creed reject that also masquerades as a GQ fashion model, as debut filmmaker Otto Bathhurst gets caught up in the joys of slow-motion instead of getting caught up on making his characters more intriguing or his film more fun.
Unfortunately delivered in a mostly po-faced fashion that sits unevenly with how over the top and silly many of its big action scenes are (a machine gun like arrow barrage in Arabia or a horse chase along rooftops spring instantly to mind), Robin Hood wants to be taken seriously but it's impossible to do so, when the action and scenarios are all so off-putting and even if the action beats and slight thrills you get from some of these scenes make the film tolerable as such, there not going to change many people's opinions on the movie, feelings of which are likely to be largely negative when you look at early press and box-office results.
More comfortable with the action scenes than he is the character beats, Bathurst leads this negativity bringing Robin Hood down as he struggles to get much out of his capable cast, with Robin giving Kingsman breakout star Taron Edgerton his worst big-screen role yet, as the young performer struggles with making Robin a charismatic hero and has an equally hard time forcing any chemistry between himself and Eve Hewson as Marion, with the daughter of Bono fairing quite badly in her highest profile role yet.
Side players don't fare much better, with Australian tressure Tim Minchin fairing best with his role as Friar Tuck, while the seemingly constantly struggling Jamie Foxx as Little John and the charm free Jamie Dornan as Will add little to proceedings.
Outside of these unfortunate elements one of the most disappointing and eye-rolling aspects of this Robin Hood is yet another stereotypical shady bad guy turn from Ben Mendelsohn.
An unquestionably talented performer and one of our countries best acting exports, Mendelsohn delving into yet another villain role as the nefarious Sherriff of Nottingham after similar turns in the likes of Ready Player One, Rogue One, TV show Bloodline and The Dark Knight Rises begs the question of how hard the actor is trying at the moment, and while his turn here isn't "bad", it's certainly tiresome with all things considered, with the time now for Mendelsohn to break away from these type of roles.
Final Say -
With a handful of lively action scenes and some very brief snippets of fun, Robin Hood shows glimpses of what might've been, but with a lack of charisma, energy or smarts, this ends up being yet another version of the hooded hero that fails to hit the mark, with Robin Hood likely to be one of the year's biggest financial flops.

This film is no Oscar winner. But it scratches the same itch that films like "A Knight's Tale", "Abraham Lincoln: Vanpire Hunter" and "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" scratches. As in it's a hell of a good time...as long as you don't think about it too hard. Keep that perspective and you'll have a blast.
Not a bad movie in all honesty. Action was decent, the plot moved briskly and I liked some of the cheeky banter.
The sets were nicely crafted and the costumes were, albeit distracting at first, added to the atmosphere of this being a non historically accurate revisioning of folklore.
This I have to emphasise as it's what is stated in the opening monologue, but some hater's and purists out there just didn't seem to get the point.
At the end of the day, the story of Robin Hood has never been officially stated as true. Just enjoy the movie for what it is, which is an enjoyable and fun take on folklore.

'Robin Hood' Stars on Making a Classic Cool Again
Robin Hood stars Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx take on the roles of Robin Hood and Little John, and share how their new movie re-envisions a classic tale.
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesTaron Egerton is so afraid of horse riding that he did not ride horses in this film, not in any single scene - he stated in an interview later.
- PifiasRobin receives a notice that he was being drafted for the Third Crusade.
The Crusades weren't numbered until AFTER they had taken place. And nobles were never "drafted". They were presented with the opportunity to join and they did so to fulfill their oath to God.
- Citas
Marian: You call that a disguise?
Robin of Loxley: Well it fooled everybody else!
- Versiones alternativasIn South Africa the film was edited in theaters for a 13 rating (after the uncut version was classified 16). The film was later released on uncut on DVD with a 13 rating as the violence was deemed to have less impact outside of a theatrical context.
