Robin Hood (movie)

[kiwi_2005]

Ridley Scott - Yes!!!

Russel Crowe - No

It will be a flop cause of Crowe, dont get me wrong i loved his acting in Gladiator, 3:10 Yuma and State of play to name a few. But running around as a poncy Robin Hood with a bow helping the poor. I wont stop laughing!

Mel Gibson played William Wallace in Braveheart well i think he should act the part of Robin Hood.

[Sailor Steve]

He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green;
They vowed to help the people of the King.
They handled every problem on the English country scene;
And still found plenty of time to sing!

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen.
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men.
Feared by the bad, loved by the good;
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood!

Yep, it might be a laugh riot. It does seem like a typical Hollywood production so probably nothing to rave about.

Gibson? A little too...maniacal perhaps? He could play a crazy Robin Hood.

Noticed that there's a Sherlock Holmes - movie coming out as well. I guess it's 'rehash the British tales' - time in Hollywood.

Robin Hood in German is spelled Rotten Hoot.......


Why did they pick Russel Crowe when it's so obvious that Leonardo Dicaprio would be a better choice?? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Scott's version wont the be usual "happy guys living in the woods singing songs and helping poor peeps" RB, but a more darker one (I think one could use Dark Knight vs. earlier Batmans as comparisation). Obviously, the plot will be about revenge, Robin comes home and sees his father hanged and his lands taken, then we see Robin drool abit on his dead father's grave (see gladiator) and then hack n' slash until the Sheriff is dead, ow and that other guy. Real king comes back, gives Robin his lands back and he then goes to shag the lady whatsamacallher.

Personally I prefer: "Robin Hood - men in tights"

Cracks me up every time.

Haha, awesome flick!

I remember the first time I watched it. It opens with a song and dance, and I think to myself: "What the hell is this CRAP!!!!!!"

But I gave it a few more minutes, and ended up loving it.

Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?
Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
[referring to the then recent blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which Kevin Costner played the role with an American accent]
