I liked the Ridley Scott version too. It's probably the best Robin Hood film of recent years. Is it silly? Yes, but all films in this canon tend to be. Acting wise it has a good cast, the cinematography and set pieces are well-done too. I remember people dismissed it at the time as being "Gladiator-lite" and that people thought Russell was just too old for it, but it honestly works well enough for what it is.

Here's a bit of interesting information for you. On Wendy Carlos' website, she talks about the Eltro, an early analog device that allowed you to do what is commonly done digitally nowadays: independently control the pitch or speed of a sound. The Eltro was used to to the voice slowdown of Hal singing "Daisy". It's not as simple as "slowing the tape down" which is what I'd thought they'd done. Furthermore, Kubrick told Carlos that Douglas Rain's voice had been slightly slowed down for the entire performance. That might be the key to why the cadence of his speech just feels very slightly unnatural, which is such an important part of what makes it so unnerving. Not in any way to detract from Rain's performance, because the way he speaks and pitches his voice is entirely his work, but an interesting little detail in the making of the film which I hadn't seen elsewhere.

Best of the Robin Hood movies is "Robin And Marion", with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. One of the great details about that film is how the Sheriff (Robert Shaw) is not evil, he's actually quite a layered character, but he just happens to be Robin's rival because he is Nottingham's figure of authority, appointed by a previous king, making a living by performing his duties with no mustache-twirling melodrama.

It is a complete shame, Because I personally love the story of Robin Hood. There is a reason some stories are clasics or legends. We haven’t thrown away stories for being old, so I am ok with having remasters of stories. So there are a number of Robin Hood movies out there, the shame is, why don’t you want to make the movie good? Seriously, I am sure many people like the story and myths of Roin Hood, but crappy movies? Crappy movies are going to tarnish stories. What I mean by that, it isn’t that it suddenly makes the story bad, but if you suddenly think of a crappy movie because of it, then you don’t care about it.

"I know writers who use subtext...."

Wait a min! I was looking for a movie review on the one that Russell Crowe played in. I got maybe three minutes in this video and I'm confused as all out trying to remember when Marion tried to steal his horse and trying to remember the sheriff of Nottingham looking like he went to a fetish Nazi cosplay party. So I turned to Google trying to remember this costume design. That's when I learned there's a new Robin Hood movie that came out in 2018! Are you kidding me?! Well I saw the trailer for it just a few minutes ago and yeah, now I see what you're talkin about. I haven't actually watched the movie but at least I have a grasp of why you're saying the things you're saying. I'll probably eventually watch this Robin Hood movie just out of pure curiosity. I want to see the direction they've taken this version of the story. It looks a little too modern as far as the costume designs and yeah the explosions seem way too outrageous. But there was a moment in the trailer that made me laugh. So, if I can watch it as a comedy, (maybe it's meant to be a comedy), I just may enjoy it. I love Robin Hood stories and I love to see everyone's take on it when there's a new movie that comes out. I grew up of course on Disney's version with the fox playing Robin Hood and the lion as King Richard. I didn't grow up with Robin hood as a bedtime story or anyting. My dad is, was, Mexican and my mom is Caucasian with British, possibly Irish or Scottish descent. She did not have too many old world stories and neither did my dad really. My grandma who lived with us did but I don't remember really any of her stories. Anyhow, we're Americans and the stories I grew up on were like my dad's ghost stories from Mexico when he would go visit his uncle. Or stories from his hippie days. So I really don't know if most American kids grew up with Robin Hood stories outside of Cinema or a book in school because I never got traditional stories like that growing up. And no one at school ever talked about the bedtime stories their parents would read to them. Anyways I'm glad I came across your channel because now I got a new movie I've got to watch. I never would have known about sheriffs possible Nazi fetish kinks had I not been trying to find a movie review of the Robin Hood featuring Russell Crowe. Well I've babbled on enough. I'll go watch this video now that I know what the heck your discussing here.

Marks' description of Ben Mendelsohn had me laughing so hard, coke came out of my nose. (Coca Cola...)

There is only one great "Robin Hood" movie in my opinion, and that's the '38 Errol Flynn version!

This movie is not a classic telling of Robin Hood, but it states that from the outset. Then, it proceeds to deliver epic set pieces, highlighted by magnificent lighting, and some snappy editing: the first being the war scene on foreign shores, which was split into three different types of action that clearly demonstrated Rob's character, thus moving the story forward. The color choices in the scene were smart and supported the visual storytelling. Overall, the action scenes throughout showed us things we've never seen before, e.g. the chase through the mines with horse riders leaping across elevated wooden ramparts while horse-drawn wagons swerved through the alley ways beneath, surrounded by explosions and arrow fire. Yes, the characters didn't fill out beyond one dimensional, but what about Ben Mendelsohn's delicious delivery of his traumatic past? F. Murray Abrams was clearly having a romp as the villainous cardinal in a couple of brief scenes. Taron Egerton is charming and accessible and has good chemistry with Jamie Foxx. The script is a bit hit and miss, but the performances are steady throughout, although Marion as the only female role was more of a set prop. The music romps along, but was a bit too generic. A memorable score could have lifted the film beyond almost good. The costume designs were the most uneven, and exaggerated that the film overall is uneven. And probably, the most iconic costume item - the HOOD - was the most bland. What the film misses is landing the context and any emotional weight of the stakes. And this seems to happen partly because it has deviated from the spirit of Robin Hood. But that doesn't mean you can't munch on some pop corn and ooh-aah at the spectacle. It is an action movie - with plenty of action. It's not trying to be anything else, thus the surface skimming is acceptable, and there's much in the production value to appreciate. We can't be craving inventiveness and entertainment in movies and then trounce on people for having a go at that. Stephen King was once told he writes crap; his reply: "Yes, but it's good crap." There are undeniably good aspects to this film, and while it didn't land properly for me, the people I watched it with had a great time.

Could they just leave it, it was good with the Flynn version and the Disney version and the bcc series. Just let it rest 😂

No joe whiley butting in, heaven.

The movie steals liberally from Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. One particular scene between Jamie Foxx and Ben Mendelsohn is almost lifted verbatim from 'Batman Begins'. Whoever did the musical score owes Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard a pot of gold. Passable entertainment, but certainly much better than Guy Ritchie's unfocused mess of a 'King Arthur' movie

Wish he would have mentioned Marion’s ridiculous outfits that are constantly showing way too much chest area!

Mark the main problem with the film is that there is no acting in the entire mind numbing turd of a film at all.

I just thought it was really odd, the costumes were very strange especially the women's outfits at the party/orgy, they were very modern, and would the men's hair really have been that well groomed and cropped. Also what accent did "maid" Marion have, was it American. I gave up watching part way through the second episode and do not think I will watch anymore. Sorry "Rob"
