Did I just watch a 2-hour episode of CW'#39;s Arrow? ....are you sure? I love a good bad action movie, but there was some aspects of this that were really just _distractingly_ bad. Like the costumes. Who designed these costumes? It'#39;s a weird mix of Forever 21 and late '#39;90s Hot Topic, with some genuine rags-as-clothes for the unnamed peasants. I 'lt;3 Taron Egerton, and he held the role well -- super charming, great in an action role, 'amp;c. I just couldn'#39;t get over being thrown out of the movie time and time again by the...well, the distractingly bad stuff that I mentioned earlier. We'#39;re supposed to believe that no one knows who Hood is, even though this lord just came back from war and is regularly seen around town with the same guy who is traipsing around with Hood? Who just so happens to be a POC in medieval England with _facial brandings_? Oh okay.

_Robin Hood_ is a greatest hits album by a cover band. Without trying, I caught references to _Batman_, _Prince of Persia_, _Matrix_, _300_, _The Arrow_ television series, and the worst parts of _Shakespeare in Love_. If this film had one original scene it would fall in Sherwood Forest where no one would hear it. Or see it, which would probably be better, despite one or two striking images of cinematography.

ok, if little John is played by a black actor then Nelson Mandela could be played by a white actor, in the name of equality.

This movie is just not good enough even though it tries, and probably tries to hard, to be likeable. The script is feeble, the actors barely engaging, the pop culture references too obvious, don'#39;t start me on the army tactics, the ridiculous Gatling gun like crossbows, the costumes (especially those at the party scene, worth the worst of a Philippe Decoufflé show). Only some combat scenes were credible enough to retain my attention. Not to mention the butchering of the Robin Hood tale. This should get a 4, I gave it a 6 because i happen to like Jamie Foxx

Good popcorn movie. Predictable but good.

I'#39;m all for radical retakes on a story, but sometimes too much is just too much. It plays fast and loose with the mythology to try and squeeze it into a more modern, militaristic sensibility, and it comes off as more laughable and cringeworthy. I will say though, there was some genuinely awesome action set pieces...

Honestly a really entertaining movie that made Robin Hood for the new generation. It doesn'#39;t have all the elements but I really did enjoy it and they set it up for a sequel. There is a bit of cheesiness but it just adds to the character and makes it for a modern medivel super hero and more. Watch it and have fun.

Big, Loud, Dumb and not that fun. This would have been 10 minutes shorter if they just played all the slow-motion shots at normal speed.

I think it'#39;s a very good movie. I really enjoyed it. It has action, some romantic moments and some very funny moments. Ok, I suppose it'#39;s a modern version of Robin Hood, and it'#39;s kind of hard to get into it (all this modern changes), because a lot of modern movie are definitely a rubbish. I think it has everything that a good movie needs. Although, I was very critical after reading some reviews about the film but I did not find anything that could disappointed me.

Terrible. I understand what they'#39;re trying to do with these retellings but this like the King Arthur movie from last year is just awful. Making an Ivanhoe movie that includes this character would be a better route to go instead of making Robin Hood into '#34;something else.'#34;
