Robin Hood grasps the political and emotional climate of the legend, adding dimensions to the age-old tale that seems increasingly stale with each new interpretation.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2023

... an origin story for the familiar myth with elements of class, royal politics, and the disillusionment of soldiers returning from the Crusades demoralized by a misguided quest.

| Nov 13, 2022

“Robin Hood” is an entirely different look at the classic character that does lend to a more serious telling of his legend.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

A bandit without enthusiasm. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 14, 2022

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe's prequel ditches all that was fun about the legend.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 19, 2021

Borrowing heavily both visually and thematically from his earlier projects, Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, Scott weaves together a solid tale that emphasises Robin's moral rise and John's travails in the opposite direction.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 22, 2021

As history is being rewritten, at least there are arrows whizzing everywhere, assaulting eyes, necks, chests, and every appendage.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Feels excessively long with violence that most assuredly maxes out its PG-13 rating.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

A more realistic / historical take on the legend of Robin Hood and his merry men, albeit not successful.

| Original Score: C | Aug 10, 2020

[Robin Hood's] an early summer blockbuster that, unlike so many of its ilk, really hits the target.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2019

Between Russell Crowe (after he lightens up a bit...), Cate Blanchett and Max von Sydow, the acting chops are formidable.

| Jul 25, 2019

As the first salvo in a hoped-for franchise, this Robin Hood is pretty much a non-starter. However, as a case study of the Hollwood assembly line run amok, it's earned a peculiar kind of immortality all its own.

| Original Score: C | Feb 5, 2019

Looking beyond the missed opportunity for social commentary, Robin Hood simply fails to hold the attention of its audience.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2018

Scott's story about how a common soldier named Robin Longstride (a riveting Russell Crowe) becomes the enemy of the crown is good, though not great.

| Oct 4, 2018

Scott decided, I think, to get away from the whole campy thing in tights business and wanted to make this 'real'. So there is sweat and dirt and rats at the cheese and even bad teeth, which is fair enough, but it is also joyless.

| Aug 30, 2018

I expected Robin Hood to be Gladiator + Braveheart and I was pleased to find that it stands on its own as an entertaining movie.

| Oct 23, 2017

The irony here is between the powerful merge of cinematic storytelling, history, and the dominant role of the market, because if Sir Ridley Scott's epic doesn't make a profit, there won't be a sequel, and more's the pity.

| Aug 11, 2017

It's a prequel of sorts to the popular folklore, a prequel that nobody asked for.

| Sep 15, 2013

Dark and depressing, this adventure lacks all of the excitement and joy of many of Robin Hood's previous adventures.

| Original Score: 2.0/5 | Dec 25, 2012

Despite [its] problems, it is still worth seeing mainly because of its fascinating take on the characters.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2012
