Robin Hood robs from rich source material, but is ultimately just another poor attempt to needlessly gussy up a classic tale with amped-up action and modern special effects.

While it plays fast and loose with loaded political iconography, this Robin Hood has brought a whole new dimension to this age-old tale. Nov 26, 2018 | Rating: 83/100 | Full Review…

Hey ... it's almost as if they're stealing our money and selling it right back to us by way of another thoughtless capitalistic Robin Hood remount. Nov 25, 2018 | Full Review…

Several dueling shades of dull, this umpteenth retooling of the outlaw legend is desperate to convince viewers that Christopher Nolan had something to do with it (he didn't). Nov 21, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Arriving just in time to win a place among the year's worst films, Robin Hood robs you of two hours. Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx go down the gullet of this toxic Thanksgiving turkey that definitely does not deserve a pardon. Nov 21, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The results feel less like an inspired new perspective and more like the stammerings of a kid trying to deliver an oral report on a book he never actually read by bulls----ing his way through it. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Otto Bathurst's "Robin Hood" is proof there's no story Hollywood can't ruin with a big enough budget.

Interesting enough, there are those who find this latest outing of the titular forest bandit, err, too modern. But by now there has been a "Robin Hood" movie for every generation since 1922 (that's Douglas Fairbanks kiddies), and the gist has always been the same: while those in power are attempting a power land grab out in the Middle East, those of the second tier remaining at home and purportedly holding things down decide to grab the pie for themselves. Into the fray steps the outlaw Lord - a man of the elite landed gentry yet with a heart for the ragamuffin peasants - to maintain the status quo! Hurrah! This version is indeed a modern take, but that, in and of itself, does not make it "less than". Far from it. This has got its own style and dash, just as they all have had, only this one's for another generation. Hurrah!
Robin Hood has been dumbed down to an action packed CGI fuelled film that borrows heavily from every successful action franchise you can think of. There's a bit of Fast and Furious, Star Wars, Marvel Superhero, Lord of the Rings. Just imagine a combination of Hawkeye and Legolas, and some "diversity" to make it palatable for the modern audience. Forgettable, and despite the charm of Taron Egerton, this is an epic fail.
Marred by its attempt to modernize the tale aesthetically, Robin is more miss than hit and deprives from some good performances from Egerton, Foxx and Mendelsohn. 1.5/5
