7/10
Great Film, far far better than other recent films
28 August 2021
Ignore the other reviews. Solid movie telling the traditional tale of Robinhood, set in all the locations you would expect, with a cast that look the part. Brian Blessed is a joy. If only they had used him more.

True if you want a new take on Robinhood, then you won't find it here. But given recent attempts, that is a fools errand.

Robinhood (2018) with Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx was a total mess, and Robinhood (2010) with Russell Crowe wasn't much better.

You can't keep playing around with the format and looking to add new things. Robinhood: Prince of Thieves was different, but the cast was strong enough and likeable.

The two other versions that tried to do something different failed rather badly, and the deviation from the story provider nothing worthwhile.
