Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovNov 20, 2018
Robin Hood isn’t as awful as all that, really. For one thing, it’s too singularly bizarre to be anything less than head scratchingly entertaining, and the action set-pieces are pulled off with much quivery panache. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennyNov 20, 2018
The plot is twisty in a perfunctory way, the action predictably explosive, the sought-after exhilaration nonexistent. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJan 1, 2019
Egerton is miscast. He and Hewson have nary a spark in their love scenes. Dornan overplays his hand. Foxx belts out nearly every line as if he’s trying to be heard above a parade of fire engines on a Fourth of July parade Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreNov 21, 2018
What balderdash. And not the fun kind, either. Read full review

ConsequenceDominick Suzanne-MayerNov 21, 2018
There’s nothing particularly memorable about Robin Hood even when you’re laughing at it, and that may be one of the saddest fates a movie can meet. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanNov 20, 2018
The more invested you are in the old-fashioned Robin Hood of legend — the less likely you are to enjoy what amounts to a chilly and flavorless frappé of historical speculation, revisionist folklore and every lazy action-movie cliche ever written. Read full review

New York PostJohnny OleksinskiNov 20, 2018
The latest labored take on the old British legend, Robin Hood is little more than a pitch-black war film, complete with rudimentary medieval bombs and blood spatter on the camera lens. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichNov 20, 2018
If nothing else, this accidentally hilarious, goofy train wreck of an origin story most definitely has the courage of its convictions. Alas, the film isn’t smart enough to recognize that its convictions are dumb, and it doesn’t have the goods to back them up in the first place. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyNov 21, 2018
This film, with its endless copying of Assassin’s Creed camera angles and state-of-the-art bullseyes, is an ugly machine, tiring to the eye, monotonously scored, and also weirdly regressive on quite a few levels. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversNov 21, 2018
Arriving just in time to win a place among the year’s worst films, Robin Hood — bursting with an entitled sense of its own non-existent coolness — falls flat on its fat one. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaNov 21, 2018
A thoroughly incoherent movie salad. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyNov 20, 2018
Mendelsohn's villain is boringly one-note, Eve Hewson's Marion uses an incongruous Yank accent and always looks as though she's just stepped out of the makeup trailer, F. Murray Abraham swans around in fancy cardinal's vestments looking sinister and Foxx seems pissed off that he's not somewhere, perhaps anywhere, else. As for Egerton, he's a boy doing a man's job.
