Review


There is no doubt that the acting in this film is on point. The cast is excellent. Unfortunately this was not enough for Robin Hood to walk with the graduating class of 2010. It is one thing to make a film that is over 2 hours long, but it should not feel over 4 hours long. The potential was there, the Gladiator/Brave Heart vibe was going on but not nearly as epic. The cinematography was beautiful and the action depicted for the period was well done, however at the end of the day it didn't win.
