I saw the new Robin Hood movie today. Man it was so good I thought! However, there has yet to really be a Robin Hood that I haven't watched or liked in some way or another. Before you ask yes that includes the really old one with Errol Flynn too.
This one was well done and in it's own right quite different from the others. Instead of it being Robin of Locksley that was the hear it was Robin of Longstryde...or something like that. Which in it's own right was different.
It is said to be closer to the truth of what really happened and one thing they finally got right was that King Richard, one wasn't as GREAT as he's always made out to be and two, and this one is a big one, he doesn't show up at the end to take back his throne. It is a known fact that King Richard never returned from the Crusades. This movie finally got that little bit right.
To say the least I was shocked, surprised, and happy about this. It made for a different Robin Hood and it made it really enjoyable with how they went about telling this story.
This Robin Hood I think is different enough that you will enjoy it and remember this one out of all the other Robin Hoods there have been. The fight scenes are wonderful, the characters are splendid, the story is well thought out researched and flows, and they're even accurate with the weapons.
All in all a most enjoyable movie to me. I say if you're a Robin Hood fan this is one you must see.
