I watched this movie and, unlike everyone else, didn't expect to see Gladiator or anything close to as good. The critics expected Gladiator all over again instead of a movie that was a new twist on Robin Hood, which it was.
This movie was very well done, no matter what people think. The acting is top notch and the story is intriguing, but a little long. The screenplay is original and definantly the best part of the movie hands down. The awesome and "goosebump" lines are anything but cheesy. However, the movie could have done without a few cliche scenes scattered throughout.
Robin Hood is a very easy character to mess up after the standards set by Kevin Costner in Prince of Thieves, but this Robin Hood is the best so far. His character is explored on a much deeper level than the previous films and is a good fit for Russel Crowe.
WARNING. DO NOT EXPECT GLADIATOR. This film was put down and stoned due to the fact that it wasn't "just like gladiator." Of course it wasn't. Why would you make two movies exactly the same? If you walk into this film expecting Robin Hood, you will get it in a way that you've never seen it before. You will get the reborn Robin Hood.
