Robin Hood

Aaaaand on to our first review- Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, starring everybody's favorite, Russell Crowe. This movie certainly had big expectations from me, originating from my love of Robin Hood (much like my love for King Arthur, wizards, and vampires.. more to come on those later). While not the Oscar-winner that Gladiator was, Robin Hood is a fun and well done movie.

As is the latest craze, it tells the "real" story of Robin Hood. In truth, it is more of a prequel to what will surely be the sequel and more well known story of Robin Hood. Less violent than its peers, it also packs a weaker punch on a moral story line. King John isn't as despicable as I would have liked (hes no animated snake from the old classic). The most developed character was Marion, excellently portrayed by Cate Blanchett.

In sum, Robin Hood is an entertaining movie that is worth the watch.
