Whoever decided to greenlight a $100 million Robin Hood film (and then put it out in the US the same time as Creed 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet) needs to be fired. Hollywood needs to stop trying to make big budget Robin Hood/Peter Pan/King Arthur films happen, they're not going to happen any more!
They never worked in the first place. I mean, fair play for trying again, but there's surely a point when a studio needs to just give up trying to give life to a rock.
Mark ... Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is a damn classic. For no other reason than the fact that it gave us Alan Rickman threatening to cut Kevin Costner's heart out with a spoon.
What public domain characters could actually headline a franchise? I mean I wouldn't mind a Dostoyevsky cinematic universe (The Depressors), but that wouldn't make bank.
Shakespeare is too obvious. Canterbury tales? Not PG-13 enough? Jane Austen has already been sort of done... but not enough! Der Niebelungen is underutilized, like someone made a 16 hour musical number of it that has sort of a cult following, but surely less caterwauling and more explosions would make it A-OK.
I can't wait to visit Nottingham again after watching this. I can't remember the mountains which surround the city, although there still a few steep streets in the town...
It’s kind of crazy that after all these years, only three films I can think of-The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtiz), Robin Hold (Disney), and Men in Tights (Mel Brooks)- have remained the most faithful to the spirit of the original stories. And two of them are arguably spoofs!
I’m pretty sure the director was actually shouting at Ben Mendelssohn “No Ben, do it EXACTLY LIKE YOU DID IT IN ROGUE ONE”. I hope he’s one of these actors that doesn’t turn roles down instead of picking a bit of a stinker like this, he’s genuinely menacing (Animal Kingdom) when he’s not being asked to camp it up.
Ian McGurren He’s absolutely terrifying in Animal Kingdom. Honestly, he’s one of the best actors working today based on his more low profile stuff (Mississippi Burning, Beautiful Kate, Starred Up), it’s a shame Hollywood just gives him mostly Generic Hissy Fit Villain roles to play.
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.
I saw this, it was terrible. Spot on about the crusades scene the soldiers are moving through the city with bows like they're in a modern urban war with rifles. CQB in the crusades fought with bows apparently. Oh and that first scene of the crusades the Crusaders quite literally have to flank and take out a machine-gun-ballista that has the squad pinned down. Was so absurd.
I mean that was clearly the point. It's not like they're hiding it, they're SHOUTING it at you from the screen, that it's a take on a crusade that's basicaly action-movie Fallujah firefight.
FYI: "A duster is a light, loose-fitting long coat. The original dusters were full-length, light-colored canvas or linen coats worn by horsemen to protect their clothing from trail dust. These dusters were typically slit up the back to hip level for ease of wear on horseback." Thank you Wikipedia
Putting aside Crowes accent I enjoy that version was the most realistic. They were gonna make two more I would have liked to have seen how they did it.
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.
I had suspicions about that King Arthur movie the moment looked at the poster and noticed his " ZARA " sheepskin jacket from the popular high street retailer. I thought this is is gonna be c**p. Unless they declare it a "spoof".
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.
@@MrRjhyt and Jamie Dorman's turn into the bad guy is basically Harvey to Two-Face from The Dark Knight, and the whole people rebelling against the sherriff is basically from The Dark Knight Rises.
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 get the impression it was one of those moments the screenwriters knew was factually incorrect but wanted to throw in that so other audiences picked up on cultural references regardless on "accuracy"
It feels just like Batman Begins from the training scenes, the rooftop chase and the Restaurant scene. And then the battle scene from TDKR music and all.
This film is basically call of duty meets Batman with bow and arrows. There is also a bit that is basically a car chase but with chariots. It’s the sort of film that only works on a big sound system and a big screen. It’s not going to change your life but I found it great fun.
Robin of Sherwood doesn't get enough credit. Nearly every version since has Marion in the forest and a Moor in the Merries, not to mention a bonkers Sheriff. It's a lot more fun than the last few dull versions
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.
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.
They tried to modernize Robin Hood and bring the medieval to modern times so that modern audiences would understand it because they, modern audiences, are alive now in curremt time and have not lived at that time, the Middle Age, in history.
It was pretty good to go see it with friends but it's not a film to see alone. A fun movie with a ton of action. P.S. I never said the action is that good.
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
@Bilbo's Nuts By that logic, you must have zero taste in art or creativity. REAL entertainment takes time, thought, dedication and most of all, respect for the material. Those who made this flop had no respect for Robin Hood's legacy. All they cared about was making something "hip," "cool," "trendy," "edgy" and "grim." Which is NOT what Robin Hood is about, not at all
@Bilbo's Nuts That depends on who you're asking and those people you speak of seem to be a rather tiny minority. Almost everybody else prefers stuff with art, story, good acting, respect for the material and actual thought put into it
Oh god, as I expected...It looks like King Arfur's cousin.. and it's a big fat NOPE from me. King arfur was one of the WORST films I've ever had the misfortune to watch.
Wasn't that bad. Instantly forgettable but not terrible. My main issue was they were clearly trying to make it a series so they didn't really bother fleshing it out as much they as could have.
Nazi fetish cosplay party? 😶 I don't know why I find this do funny. But I do. Subbing... Edit: ooohh a Star trek character looking like a fetish Nazi at a cosplay party. That's even better. 😂 Cracks me up.
Hollywood should make a film about a production company money laundering by making bad Robin Hood and King Arthur films.
@GiRayne Nice.
They could call it "Spring Time for Hitler".

Is there a reason Robin Hood films are constantly being pumped out despite, from what I can see, zero interest in the character or lore?

When an animated fox is the best Robin Hood movie in the last 50 years.

Nazi fetish cosplay party? 😶
I don't know why I find this do funny. But I do. Subbing...
Edit: ooohh a Star trek character looking like a fetish Nazi at a cosplay party. That's even better. 😂 Cracks me up.
