'Robin Hood' is Ridley Scott's much awaited historical action-epic movie, Scott who is known for making legendary flicks like, 'Gladiator' and 'Blade Runner'. Oscar winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness.
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.
For the actor, Russel Crowe it is his fifth collaboration with Scott.
The movie takes you in the 12th century England where Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) is a common archer in the Third Crusade. After the demise of the Richard the Lionheart in battle, Robin and his three other pals, Little John (Kevin Durand), Will Scarlet (Scott Grimes) and Allan A'Dayle (Alan Doyle) attempt to return to their homeland.
While on their way back home, they come across a trap of the King's guard by Sir Godfrey; English Knight with French lineage. The King of France had ordered Sir Godfrey (Mark Strong) to assassinate Richard. Robin promises a dying Knight, Sir Robert Loxley, to return a sword to the man's father in Nottingham.
In between of all this, the political mischief's are going on in London. The bad man Prince John (Oscar Isaac) is troubling his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine (Eileen Atkins) and spending most of his precious royal time in bed with pretty French beauties or Isabella of Angouleme (Lea Seydoux). Other than this, Prince John is also planning to take over the country with the help of Sir Godfrey.
The whole planning and plotting duration is enough to leave the audience feel dizzy. But, the actress Cate Blanchett, portraying the role of Loxley's widow, Lady Marian who was initially distrustful of Robin is an eye candy to see.
But, the filmmaker should be appreciated for the vision he had about the battle which is worth investigating.
