Viewing Notes

For Memorial Day, I jumped into a packed Showplace 12 cinemas for a packed viewing of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood (2010) with his favorite muse of recent years in Russell Crowe. Originally lost interest in this film after the early reviews reporting a disappointment among critics. But @Schofizzy’s championing of the film sold me. Glad I made the leap; this is a sold flick albeit a little too serious. A better title would’ve been “Robin Hood Begins” as this tells the story before the Robin Hood you’ve seen time and time again. I appreciated that. Not a great film but highly watchable w/a few good sequences. And Crowe doesn’t overact here, which is a plus.
