Robin Hood

It's silly stuff, so insubstantial that even after any vicarious thrills over the medieval one percent getting shafted, the viewer is likely to feel he or she is the one being fleeced.

This latest derivative, uninspired spin on the Robin Hood story feels like a version of Batman with a bow and arrow instead of a utility belt.

Put it in the recycling bin. This version of Robin Hood is embarrassing.

Egerton is passable but his Robin lacks charisma. It's like the bland leading the bland. It's a movie that steals 116 minutes of your life and offers very little in return.

Nominally based on the story of Robin Hood although actually based as far as I can tell on the films of Guy Ritchie.

It's all tongue-in-cheek nonsense, but executed with flair and verve by debut feature director Otto Bathurst.

A failure on many levels.

All style, no substance, and yet another film at the end begging for a sequel in its final scene.

It tries to re-invent the lore and I think it also tries to hard to make social social commentary... it's doing it with no subtext.

Robin Hood plays into persistent European tropes that mischaracterize all Arabs as Moors and all Moors as Black.
