The story was fine and helps flesh out the idea of Robin Hood. The main protagonist Robin is nice to follow, and the main antagonist the Sheriff of Nottingham is fleshed out better than any typical antagonist.

The best thing the movie does is show the relation between the two characters above. Robin has a reason why he's a rich guy in-day and a man who steals from the rich to give to the poor at night. The Sheriff has a reason why he's in his position of power and looks to keep the order of things current.
To me, Jamie Foxx's role has worked well, but I will leave that up to YMMV.

The worst thing is the other faceless adversaries the movie has. That, alongside a little too much romantic undertones and slightly confusing action scenes mark down the score by two points. Certain weak plot holes take off another point. I won't mark points off though for the infinite arrows because rich boy Hollywood movie.
I also want to criticize the movie for feeling like Netflix's Arrow (Green Arrow) but in the middle ages.

Overall, a good movie… Expand

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say this is a bad movie. THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME!

THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's like if a critic says a movie is bad everyone wants to follow suit instead of taking this movie for what it really is, which is really REALLY good. I absolutely LOVED this movie. The movie flowed, it catches you're attention from start to finish, you are on the edge of your seat. It starts with romance which continues into a story line that grabs your attention with war and tragedy to hope. HOPE! Go......See.....This.....Movie! You will not regret it. Action packed, moving and very entertaining.… Expand

I was pretty sure I would like this film and be entertained, but I was NOT expecting it to me even remotely as good as it is. An absolutely solid film. Don't listen to any of the ridiculous reviews saying otherwise.… Expand

To me, it wasn't so much a story about a survivor of the Crusades as it was a story about "what would Batman be like, if he was sent back in time," and I was totally there for the ride.… Expand

One of few films to have three good villains, able to keep them well-employed and not confuse the audience. "Boy sent to do a man's job" describes Taron Egerton but he's not awful. He, Jamie Fox, F. Murry Abramson and the rest all muster admirable AAA conviction in their portrayal of timeworn characters. I think the main issue is cultural timing. Robin Hood resonates with the Yellow Vests in France. Inequality of the rich is a growing issue in teh US. Does a nascent people's revolt appear imminent in the US? The US revolt seems likely to be slower and more ballot-box-oriented than fighting in the streets as revolution in Robin Hood is portrayed. The two seemingly unknown screenwriters inject some welcome novelty into the old Robin Hood tropes (please ignore all the anachronisms, including Ben Mendelsohn, who also is doing his best). Without more resonance with the present Progressive political moment, the movie comes across as a very excellent television effort.… Expand

Really enjoyed this retelling of a classic. The different storyline was really refreshing. Great action, fantastic stunts, good acting, great costuming. Not sure why people didn't like this, we had a great time

It had a medieval base but the style gave a modern twist for a specific purpose. The people revolting against a corrupt government, pushing them to fight/pay for wars that only they benefit from, who doesn't want to see the underdogs kick their a**? If anything, watch the movie to support that message!

My teenage girls loved it ... but I think for different reasons.… Expand

I personally believe Robin Hood was a good movie in all, but it did have a flaw in my eyes. Hear me out here, I liked the movie and yes, I was among the forty-five percent of the audience who ended up enjoying this film. I probably would've enjoyed it a tad more if they had implemented some more humor. So to start, Taron Egerton, Eve Hewson, Jamie Foxx, and the rest of the cast played really solid roles. But especially Ben Mendelsohn, he is just a perfect villain. Whether it be in Ready Player One or Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, he just does a great villain role. So I really appreciated the fact that we got Ben as Sherrif Nottingham. We got great character performances and we also got great action sequences. Classic modern bow and arrow action. That's what I call it. And rightfully so, it majorly succeeds in putting you at the edge of your seat. The onscreen chemistry is also pretty good between the actors and one thing I thought they could've toned down on was the romance scenes. Now I didn't mind it as much, but it was used fairly excessively. I did understand as to why the romance scenes were kind of needed because of Rob's draft, which added to emotion somehow. The story I thought was pretty straight forward along with the central conflict. What else is there to say here? I thought it was a pretty good action movie. Not the best, but in my opinion, it passed the remake "test". This movie, in my opinion, is an 8 out of 10.… Expand

Does anyone of them or him or her, know how CGI works. Plot holes huh, so if a movie makes you think to much it makes the movie bad. Remake do not always match, the new story line is about different type of robin hood. I mean look at blade runner, you guys rated the movie so high, yet it was slow and boring there was to much of no acting going on. I mean the whole movie felt like I was in national national geographic movie or something.… Expand
