Critics Consensus

Swapping out derring-do for ultraviolence, this grim take on the merry legend of Robin Hood could use more levity in its quiver, but its aim of exploring the complicated humanity behind a folk hero nails the target.

Audience Says

While its visceral violence unfolds brutally at a punishing pace, Hugh Jackman still hits the mark in The Death of Robin Hood.

3/5

Sarnoski quickly dispenses with any notion that deserve’s got something to do with it when it comes to Robin’s redemption.

4/5

The Death of Robin Hood requires you to surrender your illusions at the door. Forget about the Robin Hood who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Forget about the Lincoln green outfit and the feather in the cap.

The question of whether a mass audience is going to go for such a down-in-the-mouth interpretation is hard to guess... But Sarnoski's beautifully made and surpassingly bleak period piece is fascinating nevertheless.

The less it tries to violently recast Robin Hood in a new light, the more in-focus its portrait of him becomes.

There wasn’t a moment when I felt anything for the central character, unlike in "Pig," where the film slowly builds towards a hard-hitting realization that lingers.

3/5

Forget an Errol Flynn like hero, Hugh Jackman's Robin is a veritable monster, a merciless killer. And yet there's the poetic redemption, a journey so distinctly dramatic that you're surprised by the reformation, the evolution and of course the redemption.

It shows rather than tells. It’s meditative. A nice change of pace for this story.

Great revisionist history in first hour, but then an incredibly boring 2nd hour. Underwhelming.

I really enjoyed this movie! I thought the transition from total brutality to questionable redemption was an intense, fun, and amicable ending!
