Did It Suck Movie Reviews

A bow and arrow is a good weapon of choice  for a soldier in 1199 and Robin Longstride (Russel Crowe) is one of those soldiers.  Robin Hood is directed by Ridley Scott telling a story before the legend of Robin Hood begins.  The cast also includes Cate Blanchett, Max von Sydow and William Hurt.  See full cast here

Plot: It is late 12th century England and Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) is a common archer in the Third Crusade. Following the death of Richard the Lionheart in battle, Robin and three other common soldiers attempt to return to their homeland, having spent ten years fighting abroad. -More

Did it Suck? I was expecting something different from this film but it was an unexpected surprise.  This movie is like a history story of the beginnings of the legend of Robin Hood.

The bigger battle sequences were good for the most part however the camera angles were up close and shaky to add effect, but, it really seemed to take away from the battle and the ability to see the full scale of what was going on.  The main story is easy to follow but the inner stories are a little obscure and don’t really explain themselves.  Overall the movie was really good and I was happy to pay to see it on the big screen.  If you’re looking to go see an epic adventure with Robin (action) Hood you will be disappointed.  This is an interesting film with depth surrounding a legends beginnings.  Worth a Ticket but it will also be a Great Renter as there is nothing you will miss seeing it on a smaller screen.
