44% on RT? "Ridley Scott's revisionist take on this oft-told tale offers some fine acting and a few gripping action sequences, but it's missing the thrill of adventure that made Robin Hood a legend in the first place."
Thrill of Adventure? Scott went for a more historically accurate telling of England at that time. Sorry folks, but if you're pining for the romantic sentimentality of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, then you'd be dissapointed.
An added bonus for me were the sweeping vistas of England that Scott and his cameraman create. The Thames estuary, London castle, and the open landscapes were impressively done.
