Saw this yesterday. Worth a rental. This is pretty much Robin Hood Begins. If they decide to make another one it'll probably be called The Dark Hood (rolls eyes). My guess is they made this so people go oh so that's how this all started.
The Bad: Way too long but at the time the pace was too fast. The scenes couldn't breathe and left really no room for the characters to interact.
Crowe and Cate are a little old for this
Focused on Robin Hood the cypher rather than the man
For a movie called Robin Hood, this nigga barely shoots arrows. He only does really cool shit 3 times in the film with the bow and arrows.
Too many antagonists for this film to handle.
The title cards killed me. Especially the last One "And, so the legend begins..."
The orphans that run around in Sherwood Forest are there to set up a possible sequel.
The Good: The score is one of the best I've heard in a minute.
The end credits were really fucking entertaining. Better than the film itself.
Scott and his DP make this look pretty at times
The Okay: Acting was good for what it was.
The story has too much fucking going on. And yes it's a prequel.
The fights scenes were cool...I guess...we've seen it before...
