When the news that Ridley Scott is going to be more accepting of British exports outside the law - with none other than Russell Crowe sock of illegal formerly known as Prince of Thieves - it sounded like a party in heaven.
Of course, Scott has had his share of disappointments. But his recent tour with Crowe (American Gangster, Body of Lies) is well above par, and Scott, a natural flair for epic sweep of the project shows an automatic winner. All things being equal, Robin Hood could also threaten to crown outlaws Costner.
A closer examination, however, cracks began to appear. Scott can be directed to some of the revolutionary film, but his track record with historical epics is far from perfect - we need to remember the kingdom of heaven, or 1492: Conquest of Paradise? He could have had better luck with new formulations of Robin Hood as Alien - at least if we had known that she directs chops.
The choice of starring Crowe brings its own problems, too, not least his accent disappointing attempt twisted. It is even more credible in the for'n languages such as Tom Cruise, but that could be called a chameleon voice. When Mark Lawson dared to suggest that the Irish Hood Crowe seemed a little on his BBC Radio 4 show, Crowe stormed out of the study - but the audience probably felt that Lawson had a point.
Eventually, however, is Robin Hood PoE face serious disappoint him, transforming one of the most entertaining swashbuckling franchise in Hollywood as part of the chest, a great Braveheart wannabe. Costner may have been in the shadow also healthy, but at least it was not always frowning eyebrows Crowe.
There are many historical liberties taken too, as if Ridley Scott was determined to make a film that was even less accurate than the story of Mel Gibson William Wallace take. The dates are changed, the documented facts are twisted and somehow Robin save England from a French invasion history books did not mention 800 years. If your children are studying British history, I suggest you keep them locked up seeing this.
Robin Hood (Crowe) is now revealed to have been Robin Longstride, long-lost son of a political activist, who should not interfere in the politics of the Middle Ages themselves, when he stumbles, French plot to steal the English crown. Robin returns to the royal crown and the sword fell knight, Sir Robert Loxley's father (Max von Sydow), and the grieving widow, Lady Marian (Cate Blanchett).
In a surreal development, then Robin is persuaded to masquerade as dead Loxley - and do not know, he uses a capacity of outlaws to save Mary, the village, and, finally, the whole country as evil by the Gauls. There is not much, and robbing the rich to give to the poor, but Crowe is Robin does not interfere with the Do-Gooding.
This new mash-up milestone in the history of Robin Hood still surrounds him with his merry men (Mark Addy The Full Monty, Lost, Kevin Durand, Scott Grimes and Alan Doyle), and the scene of a Sheriff of Nottingham weaselly (Matthew Macfadyen) on bad list, but Scott pseudo-factual interpretation undermines much of the joy and energy of prosecution. It is easy to see why his followers were baptized "merry men" when Robin himself is such a self-righteous bore.
What bail Ridley Scott, the end is a great job supporting the likes of Danny Huston, William Hurt, and the villain of the brand remains strong, but in most cases the screen corresponds to the heroic M. Crowe seriously than ever helped rescue many of the film. Instead we are left with an excess of time, and more dignified, to rewrite the history of the myth of Robin Hood that feels surprisingly light, both in action and historical facts.
Still, the big box office of the bank, and ready for a star, it seems that we can see a second trip to Hood last in Hollywood. We hope that the men happy returns for the joy of life before it.
