Cant believe this is considered to be one of ridley scott’s worst films. I had an absolute blast watching this in theatres. Terrific battle sequences, a grounded origin story of the famous story, and russell crowe’s likeability makes this a damn good film imo
It’s only considered to be the worst because people either have a lack of patience or attention span. I saw it in theaters and loved it and today it’s still remains one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my 37 years of life. And I’ve seen some pretty damn good movies. Shame there was never a follow up but then again you could blame it on the people who have either no patience or no attention span.
i think it's also cuz people expected historical authenticity or something, and then got mad about stuff like maid marion whipping out a sword and 1100s soldiers storming the beach like the allies on D-Day. but come on, robin hood was always folklore.
@@TheMennoXD actually the first Robin Hood movie was made in 1908, since then there has been tenths of "remakes", all of them are based on the book Ivanhoe from 1819 wich is based on legends that dates from 13th or 14th centuries.
Don't you just hate it when every single enemy lord attack your one fief incredibly isolated and deep within your faction's territory and ignore the other obviously closer ones.
actually depending on the exact kind it was and how/what it was made of, most armor back then was either good for protection against slashing attacks or stabbing/direct piercing but not both. it's the same with modern body armor; its usually designed to be effective against one type of weapon. most body armor that police use is bullet-resistant (I don't use the term 'bulletproof' because, in my opinion, nothing is really 100% bulletproof) but won't protect you from a knife and vice versa. Plus some types of bullet armor is only effective against certain calibers. all body armor really does is make it less likely that you'll be injured or will make it so that your injuries won't be as bad. and still with all of that there is never any guarantee that ANY armor will do anything to protect you
Actually, mail is very strong against slashing, rather strong against piercing, and weak against brute force. And this doesn't really depend on the mail it was (we're speaking of historical mail of course, not butted costume mail), different mail will be stronger or weaker, but react the same way. In this, Wil is correct in that while arrows might sometimes pierce mail (even then the Aketon would often prevent to have lethal injuries), slashing against mail is useless in reality, and driving your sword completely in the body of someone wearing mail is a joke.
I'm not saying he is the enemy. I've just noted that most main characters have white horses, which seems to signify their negligible immaculacies. It's just a subordinate similitude that I pointed out:)
It's called symbolism, other culture symbolizes white horses as the balance between wisdom and power, it symbolizes life, and in every fairy tale story, every man in a shining armor always rides a white horse (include also Gandalf because he killed Balrog like any other Knight in a fairy tale. He deserve that white horse, white staff and white robe.).
They are a bunch of men at arms who have only been fighting peasants. They haven’t trained to withstand cavalry attacks. Seeing Knights charting at you is a scary thing.
Those Who Wander lmao how clueless are you in simple history can you get lol, judging from their weapons, bows and armor can already tell it’s way past the Roman age
@@ineedabetterusername7424 I feel like Fëanor's influence on the relevant events in Arda kinda fades once the Silmarills are out of the picture and Melkor has been cast into the void. Still.. much of the later politics and distrust between different groups of Elves, men and dwarfs has its roots in the actions of Fëanor.
Robin has a fine, elegant, white horse in this movie. And yes, it belonged to King Richard. I can't tell if that horse is a Friesian or an Andalusian. Anyone know?
I'm not sure what it is either, but I know a Friesian is a little shorter than an Andalusian...In The Mask of Zorro, Zorro is supposed to ride an Analusian but they in fact used a Friesian because Antonio Banderas would have looked short sitting on an Andalusian.
1:36 This is the most ridiculous part. A woman wearing a dress was able to instantly kill a fully armored soldier with just one light tap to his side with a sword.
No-one knows for certain if he really existed. It's possible he did, but all we have to go on are the stories and legends. So until the day arrives when archaeologists uncover definitive proof that he was real, all we have are the legends.
Lawrence of Arabia - That’s because it was an origin story!!! God it’s like people don’t even know what that is. It tells the beginnings of a character. Pretty sure you’ve seen X-Men origins wolverine.

How exactly can one be historically accurate with the depiction of a fictional character? Both films are historical fiction. What the 2010 version does better (in my humble opinion) is giving an impression of what the 12th century looked like.
This film is by no means perfect historically, far from, but I absolutely love the costume design. This and Kingdom of Heaven portray the time period far better than other films. (Fun fact: France actually did invade England during the First Barons War, 1215-7, and skirmishes probably happened quite a bit, France also besieged Dover Castle, so this film, while taking many liberties, has more history in it than you'd think.)
You saw it for the first time 10 minutes ago, either you are a child with no attention span or an adult with no attention span either way you have no attention span. It’s an origin story, maybe just stick to avenger films

Mark Strong is that guy who is in just about every awesome movie whose name people may not know but whose face they recognize every time.
this film perfectly danced on the line between quality cheesy swashbuckling and more gritty realism

So do I. Always wanted to see this story continue.

i love Robin Hood
I LOVE THIS FILM!! =D
I always felt like this movie's main problem was the plot just needed a rework, but the actors, the directing, everything else was on point.
Wow! Cate Blanchett has preached in a movie, or after, at least so far...
best robin hood ever for its actor and his director !
Not the best Lady Marion. Cate Blanchett is a good actress but she was not right for this role.
still a better actress for Lady Marion then Jesse Eisenberg was for Lex Luthor

i like all the battles seeing robin hood kill a bunch of dudes but out of all i love this film best ever with the lord of the ring movies
To choose the battleground for your advantage did not change, just the battle grounds did.
@BKA
Russel Crowe when will you ever care about the roles you play?
Apparently, Robin Hood was supposed to be the antagonist in this one, but Russel Crowe made a stink untilthey changed it. XD
Of course he has a white horse. All main characters do. ;)
Sara Ellis OK; let's get this straight: He says "Here comes the enemy."RUSSEL CROWE IS NOT THE FRIGGIN ENEMY
I'm not saying he is the enemy. I've just noted that most main characters have white horses, which seems to signify their negligible immaculacies. It's just a subordinate similitude that I pointed out:)
It's actually King Richard's horse
