The story of Robin Hood has been done dozens of times and everyone tries to put their own spin on this classic story. You’d think that by checking all the boxes that it would be a can’t miss movie. I wish that was the case but for me, it missed. It’s not that it was terrible but the expectations of another movie that even was half as successful as Gladiator would have been welcome.
I wish I could put my finger on why it just didn’t work but the fact is, it doesn’t. maybe others will like it more than me because Robin Hood is a favorite character of theirs but I would just say to temper your expectations. Hopefully, you’ll like it more than I did.
