Robin Hood 2018 because there's
so many movies called Robin Hood now so I have to differentiate them this one
stars Taran Edgerton as Rob because that's what they call him throughout most
of the movie as the guy who steals from the rich and gives to the poor and he
doesn't like the Sheriff of Nottingham played by ben mendelsohncuz he's a big
fat jerk and Jamie Foxx plays Little John who trains Rob and teaches him how to
be really cool with the arrows and he gives him an outfit that looks like it
was bought at the mall and Marian is in the film too of course because she's
the girl and she has to be the girl this movie was fucking bad I can't believe
how bad this film was I really didn't have much anticipation for it so it's not
that surprising but there was also no press screening for the film herein
Cleveland and so naturally I kind of went into this movie dreading what could
possibly happen and I lost two hours of a perfectly good day watching this shit
I have not been this bothered by complete incompetence in a long time because
there really is there's really no good decisions being made in this movie
almost every performance you know what every performance really is not very
good Ben Mendelsohn who is playing another villain is very OneNote as a Sheriff
of Nottingham, he yells a lot and talks about Robin Hood you gotta find Robin
Hood, he's gonna get all my money Robin Hood[Music]Jamie Foxx who
I usually love
is really over the top in this role and he provides a lot of unintentional comedy
unfortunately as does a lot of the film there's one scene where he's talking to
somebody he wants to kill and he takes his hand he like grabs his chest really
hard and it's like oh my god I tried really hard not to laugh in the movie
because there was a whole bunch of people there and no one else was laughing no
one laughed during the scenes that were supposed to be funny either Friar Tuck
pops a lot of jokes in the movie and none of them the land they're totally off-key
let's talk about Taron Egerton who plays the lead role I liked him quite a bit
in Kingsman and obviously, he's a talented actor as are basically everyone in
this movie I mean I've seen every single person in this film great in other
projects Taron Egerton is not ideally cast here I think this wasn't really the role
for him, Kevin Costner or Russell Crowe even consider Errol Flynn considerably
better Robin Hoods but this brings me to my main issue with the film who
directed these actors was it Otto Bathurst or Bott Hurst the director who got
these performances because everyone in this movie is bad and everyone in this the movie is an excellent actor I don't know what happened this is a train wreck I
was bored within 40 minutes I wanted to leave but I watched the whole thing
right down to the ending that sets up a sequel for some reason that if it ever
happens I'd be shocked I can't imagine them ever making more of these at least
in this realm they just made one eight years ago I mean since I started the blogging in 2009 there's been to Robin Hood movies called Robin Hood what's
happening quit making these people into superheroes this is definitely a
superhero movie he runs around and he jumps in slow motion and he goes
really fast like Legolas and there's 300 style editing you know when the legend
of Hercules came out that really terrible movie and like what was 2014
I
thought to my self this is gonna be the last time we ever see a 300 gladiator
rip off four years later we have yet another one of those movies where people
run and then get really slow and then jump and then get really fat and then
slow again like I can't believe that's the choices that are being made here
it's incomprehensible sometimes what's happening there's so much like CGI
flying around arrows are like whizzing by every two seconds people have like
machine gun bow and arrows like then narration to was hilarious it opens with
Friar Tuck basically talking to us and he's like this isn't the story you're
used to seeing I was like oh shit is Friar Tuck talking to 2018 us maybe they'll
loop it around to make it make sense at the end but they don't it's just a
narration the very least this film could do is have action scenes that we're
exciting and it can't even do that the characters are insanely dull the plotting
is just murky things are happening in the background constantly with the church
and with the sheriff and you don't care about any of it you don't give a shit
about anything that's going on, there's a romantic love triangle of course
because that's what we really need in a movie like this let's talk about Marian
for a second she looks likes he's in an MTV music video for most of this movie
constantly revealing outfits she's supposed to be in a poverty-stricken town
where everyone's got no money and people are you know to starve but she looks
like she's on the cover of Vogue for the majority of the film so that's great I
have to be honest if I was the studio
I would have looked at this film and said
it's a loss scrap it put it in the recycle bin right-click empty trash this a version of Robin Hoodies embarrassing the costumes are embarrassing the
performances are embarrassing the special effects holy shit there's a the green-screen sequence with horses I loved it I thought it was so
fucking funny and mind-blowing and again I must say like all of these
embarrassing elements I'm positive the visual effects artist who worked on this
film are incredible at their craft I'm positive that these actors are all very
good actors what happened that made everything about this movie horrible it doesn't
even look good like the color choices this grey-brown and it's just gross
looking everything about the movie I don't understand what happened I I really
don't get how so much money can be thrown at a project and literally like
dominoes they all just topple in every single element of the film is a complete
failure Robin Hood is a really bad movie but at the same time it's really not that’
surprising because none of the trailers look good and I just really have no
idea what happened here I'm gonna give Robin Hood and F Christ my god yeah
don't see this one just skip it and go see Creed - that's a better idea
have fun guys thank you so much as always look forward to more reviews very soon
