...was epic. Anyone else see it? Not surprisingly, it's a lot like Gladiator (same director and lead actor). Gladiator is still a better movie, but Robin Hood held its own, and will definitely be taking up a spot in my movie collection.

Wow, I had no idea that came out today. I'm prolly gunna see it soon!

Me neither

It looks kewl its nice to see a bunch of old stuff being redone 

I was the Sheriff of Nottingham in our school play.  It will never be the same.  Still, I want to see it.

I am going to see it tonight with Martin, should be fun. I was slightly dissapointed that it is PG 13 IMO the more realistic the battles the better the movie.

I went and saw it last night and I throughly enjoyed the first half of the movie.  It was seriously in contention for a top 5 movie in my books.  ...but then the last hour of the movie happened and it made me sick to see how such a great movie could be ruined.  The love between Robin and Marian was very poorly done and what Marian does at the end of the movie is so fake and gimmicky it made me gag.

The acting (except for Marian), the scripting, and the cinematography were all brilliant.  Too bad he couldn't finish properly.

I wouldn't be too worried...the battles are pretty realistic. There is only minimal "adult material" and nothing really in the way of bad language. I heard some people in the theater say that they thought that there was too much time between action scenes, but I thought there was a pretty good balance. That's what separates an action movie (like 300) from an epic movie (like Gladiator, Braveheart, Robin Hood, etc.)

I didn't like it that much, I liked the plot but I wish there would have been more action. They should have done more with the mini skirmishes IMO.

Who is the actor that play's Robin Hood?

Russell Crowe.  I'm a BIG fan of his.
