Ridley Done Butched Up His ROBIN HOOD

Does the world really need another Robin Hood film?  No, probably not.  And do all of Ridley Scott's period films look pretty much exactly like one another?  Why, yes, yes they do.  But that said ... Scott's period stuff, though flawed, actually tends to be a pretty fun time and as much of a prat as Russell Crowe may be in real life I actually quite like his casting in this particular role as that sort of against-type move is pretty much exactly what was needed if this was to have any chance of working.

All this to say that the first trailer has just arrived and this particular version of the Hood story clearly aint intended for the kiddies.

Have to say the army hair cut looks odd on good old Robin. Wish they would have let his hair down at least. But it does look mighty fine and brutal and epic. Scott is the master after all. Thank god somebody dares to do medieval mega productions.

ok, could have done without you spraying shit all over the screen with your pointless opinion there Todd. A simple "here is the link to the new Robin Hood trailer" would have sufficed.

If that's all you want I'd suggest you bookmark Apple instead of Twitch. Lots of trailers there. Zero opinions.

How dare you Todd, give your own opinion on your own website.

Oh, this is totally standard behavior from agent666. Click his name on the comment and you can see his history, it's about two thirds griping and insults about people's opinions (often mine) that he doesn't agree with. I stopped caring loooooong ago ...

Another Ridley Scott shaky Cam epic, I'm sure the action will be interesting IF we can see what is going on on the screen! Let us Hope!

Yet another pairing up of Russell Crowe with Ridley Scott? I should have seen that one coming from a mile away...

Can't say I'm impressed by the rock soundtrack accompaniment...
