A borderline offensive, unwatchable mess, 2018's Robin Hood is a horrible adaptation that I regret watching. The opening sequence with the hand-holding narration can be construed as insulting. The second sequence portraying the Crusades asA borderline offensive, unwatchable mess, 2018's Robin Hood is a horrible adaptation that I regret watching. The opening sequence with the hand-holding narration can be construed as insulting. The second sequence portraying the Crusades as the American War in the Middle East IS insulting. Getting back to England after Robin's attempted and unpunished mutiny isn't much better. The talent of the cast is completely wasted on this hackjob, lazy, cashgrab of a script. The effects are goofy at best and laughably fake at worst. The story is full of cliches and forced storytelling. The pace of this movie is so stilted I almost fell asleep during a 90 minute movie. Apart from some nice moments from the cast, there is almost nothing redeemable here.… Expand

A tragically misguided mishmash of a poor mans' Guy Ritchie and the Mask of Zorro... I give this a 2 only as a nod to the talented cast, painfully squandered on a worthless script and direction struggling to reach mediocrity.

There was clearly a lot of money dumped into this film. Some of the visuals were downright amazing. I also appreciated how it tried to portray soldiers akin to what occurs in the middle east now. I mean I appreciated how they were swinging big and that it was an interesting choice.

Everything else in the film is a disaster. The pacing and plot are just terrible. None of the set pieces pay off. I was also very annoyed at how they were very heavy handed about a parallel to the US being in the middle east being evil and how the church is just a bunch of evil white men. For the record the Crusades were a response to invasions by muslims, not aggression by Christians into Muslim lands. It was clear that the script was written by a bunch of hacks with liberal views thinking they were clever. Instead you got a poor film and a wasted cast.… Expand

There's nothing from Robin Hood in this grotesque trash apart from character names.

I did not think there could have been a worse remake than the Russell Crowe version. As abysmal as the King Arthur remake. Modern language and modern concept references used just shows extremely lazy writing.
Not even worth watching for free.

The Story is nothing new and everybody basically knows it already. The cast has some Talented actors but they cannot use there potential. There is of course a Love Triangle. Romantic in the most cringiest boring and dumbest way possible. And there is no real chemistry between the Characters. The scenes between the Action set pieces are pretty boring ,but if seen worse. The only thing i liked are some of the Action Scenes and the bow Skill Of Taron Egerton. But its better to watch the Training clipes than the Movie. The Editing is also awkward. It uses fast camera movement and Slow-mo but just does not fell right. The overall Setting would be interesting if it wouldnt be a Robin hood movie, it just does not fit for the Character. The Film kind of fells it wants to be a Guy Ritchie Film without understanding how to use his Style Correct, and what make his Movies entertaining and re-watchable. I was bored for 80% of the whole Run-time. Its nothing more than an uncreative Blockbuster that has no own ideas and Takes every ideas from better Movies.… Expand

What the hell is this? On the very first 15 min I have seen an American war movie with things like "the crusades .on Afghanistan." or "the sheriff of Nottingham" sending recruitment letters to the people.

25 min have been enough to see that this is not robin hood movie. Another ruined movie because a terrible script. North American people, really, learn more about other cultures and stop adapting other cultures history or legends into your single vision of the world.
In summary, do not put a minute into this movie.… Expand

Containing pathetic performances, Robin Hood smothers its classic material with a modernized action-packed atrocity that provides dishonorable and unethical messages.

Yes, It's surprisingly as awful as critics made it out to be. And it's not just bad, It's dreadfully boring and doesn't even remotely entertain.

If you want a really cheesy Robin hood movie that changes the story you like and the performances and character design and pretty much everything in terms of landscape then here you go. Besides Taron Egerton everyone sucks, the performancesIf you want a really cheesy Robin hood movie that changes the story you like and the performances and character design and pretty much everything in terms of landscape then here you go. Besides Taron Egerton everyone sucks, the performances come off as awkward and cheesy. The action looks bad basically every action scene has bad cgi and slow motion and it is annoying. If you wanted a good Robin hood movie, Men in Tights is more realistic. If this gets a sequel which with the movies its going up against this weekend I doubt it will, They better get an experience director and writer to helm it because these people have made the simplest form of entertainment for the I don't care movie fans, who believe as long as I can here the action and see stuff happening then its coolllllllllll. But no for me and most movie fans we will not enjoy this. Go see anything else out, except nutcracker. 2.5/10… Expand

At its core, it commits a similar sin as Ridley Scott's 2010 film, which is still far more accomplished and satisfying overall. It does not realize Robin Hood's charm is best encapsulated by Errol Flynn, committing acts of daring (yes, in tights) with a heavy dose of mischief, romance, and whimsy.

Scott used Robin as a bizarre Trojan horse to dramatize the origin of the Magna Carta and revisit beats in Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. This film posits the Sheriff of Nottingham is a war profiteer responsible in large part for the Crusades in the Holy Land, and he forces the Nottingham peasantry to live in and around mines (an industrial wasteland out of Mad Max); it is as overblown as it is preposterous. (The cringe-worthy opening voice-over edgily assures us, "This is no bedtime story.") One longs for a charismatic bandit in the forest instead of a po-faced revolutionary in leather.

Director Otto Bathurst's approach feels schizophrenic, as if he followed a different studio mandate every other day on set. At times the picture plays as a fairly standard Hollywood-style medieval adventure, albeit not a very impressively staged one, but then there are abrupt, bizarre lapses into Moulin Rouge!-style anachronism and badly outdated aesthetics in the vein of 300, including egregious overuse of computer-enhanced slow motion. It never finds a consistent stylistic rhythm; the comics-panel end credits, following a sad tease of a sequel we will never see, suggest perhaps the intention was to pretend Robin Hood is a superhero, the -first- first Avenger. Who knows?

And though it presumably enjoyed a healthy budget, the production feels cut-rate at points, from obvious use of green-screen to official edicts and wanted posters that appear as if they were created in Microsoft Word by an intern using the most "antique" font he or she could find on the drop-down menu

Everyone in the strong-on-paper cast responds to the void by either appearing adrift (Jamie Foxx has no clue how to play his role, an Arab man trying to avenge his son's death at the hands of English soldiers, and spends his time on screen squinting and changing his accent) or doubling down on what they assume is expected of them (Ben Mendelsohn uses every snide sneer and bellicose growl in his toolbox to play the oddly stationary role of the Sheriff). I was particularly disappointed by how unimpressive Bono's daughter Eve Hewson is as Maid Marian, here conceived as an improbably stylish quasi-social activist. She delivered a sublime performance (at times eerie, at times sensual, at time vulnerable) on Steven Soderbergh's The Knick, one of my favorite television series, but none of the magnetism is on display in her first high-profile on-the-poster film role.… Expand
