By Suzanne A. Marshall from the January 2019 Edition
Directed by: Otto Bathurst
Starring: Taron Everton, Jamie Foxx, Eve Henson,
Jamie Doran, Ben Mendelssohn
āRobin of Loxley, a war-hardened Crusader, and his Moorish commander, mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown, in a thrilling, action-adventure, packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and timeless romance.ā
Iād have to say this is the worst version of Robin Hood Iāve ever seen and thatās a few since childhood. The special effects are over the top; confusing the entire plot and putting one into a stupor trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Basically, it tries too hard and does not succeed.
Itās downright silly. Yes, the special effects are there but also make the movie totally unbelievable. This may account for the not-so-great box office earnings.
The IMDB rating of 5.2/10 is generous.
