| | Anonymous 10/04/2010 | Those bad reviewers out there have a "square" perception on how "ROBINHOOD" stories should be told, with no imagination or sense of adventure!
I love this movie. Russel & other cast did a great job. It's brilliant how the story is told from a different point of view. I can watch it over and over again! Great acting, excellent casts, superb location. Bravo! |
| | Best Movie this year | grace77 10/01/2010 | Russell Crowe is his top actor self in this one. He re-creates the time period and character to perfection. I enjoyed every minute of the movie, scenery and especially the great acting by both Russell and Cate!
I will get the movie on DVD for a second look! |
| | Robin Hood | tazmaniac43 09/18/2010 | Russell Crowe did a VERY FINE job on this movie. I loved it and all the actors in it.
It is a Robin Hood we haven't seen before and it is probably a more to life type movie.
Kevin Costner did a great job too when he had made a movie on Robin but Russell, right now, was great. |
