“Nick Cage and Jay Baruchel do their best to deliver more than perfunctory Disney live-action fare, but ultimately nothing can rise above this ill-conceived storyline.” –

Robin Hood (2010)

B
“After the anemic Kevin Costner version of years past, Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" arrives with just the right amount of historical gravity and production largesse; but in giving over merry men for gritty action, the story bears no resemblance to its swash” –

“Victorian clothing, things that go bump in the night, and Anthony Hopkins in a tiger-skin robe rattling around an oversized mansion, chewing the scenery. What's NOT to love?” –

“If you're a romantic at heart who doesn't mind shelling out $12 to watch a couple of adolescent boy hotties strut their stuff, you might as well just go and enjoy the eye candy. 'Cause it's kind of worth it.” –
