Robin Hood 2010

[Desperado †]

Yes, it's overdone. Yeah, it'll probably be quite implausible. And yes, it'll have Russel Crowe. But Ridley Scott + medieval setting + probably another partially waily Easterny soundtrack (Rob = ex-crusader), what's not to like? I have some quite high hopes for this.

[René Artois]

That looks well good. I always like a bit o' medieval fighting.

[Beregond]

I disliked Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator was much better, hope this would be allright

[Manco]

Got high hopes as well.

And I really want some gritty Medieval battle scenes that stay away from the entire 300-stylized or over the top approach.

[Jingles]

If the rest of the soundtrack is going to sound like that trailer, this is gonna be good!

[Sher Khan]

Oh, hey, this looks like it'll be interes-

*no Morgan Freeman hurling scimitars*

Well, it may still be interesting.

[Last Roman]

And yes, it'll have Russel Crowe.

that can only be a good thing. ya, he might be a jackass, but he's a jackass that can act.

[iudas]

Russel Crowe can act? That's some big news to me.

Good Hollywood historical films are rarer than artistic pornos, so I'll be surprised if this one isn't an epic cheesy failure.

[NONOPUST]

Really looking forward to this. Crowe is just ing awesome.

[Legionary Jezza]

Crowe should of been Balian in KOH

[D.B. Cooper]

Maximus with a bow.

[Kamos]

Looks decent but I'd still like a full length version of:

[Justinian]

This is gonna be awesome.

This begs the question of how one can describe any story of Robin Hood, a folklore character, as historical. Even if his intent is to make the story that inspired the lore, he gets a lot of leeway on that alone.

I am... just curious, why every Robin Hood movie has to start from Crusade (and particularly Third Crusade)??

[Gaidin]

Why NOT start from a crusade?

Because Robin was a crusader before he was an outlaw, it gives a good oppurtunity for some epic fight/battle scenes, and helps with his back story.

Is he?? I never read the story before so I am not sure...

Its always possible to place a fictional story into reasonably accurate historical background.
