Being a Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett fan, I had to see the film regardless of critics and skeptics. This tale is portrayed much darker than you would expect it to be. The length of the film was exceptional, I am rather fond of "long" movies. Mine as well get your monies worth right? Anyways Russell is a fantastic Robin 'Hood', due to his great acting ability as the "hero" or "leader".
It's a very interesting take on the story and has some humorous elements to it. King John of course is an uber "douche" and you strive to see another film of this to see what happens haha.
Regardless of the possible "inaccuracies" or portrayal of the story, Ridley does an astounding job of directing in a Peter Jackson type style, that I adore. The Celtic/Irish melodies really strike me with joy, I love them and they're througout the film. Well done Ridley..well done.
Rating: 8.8/10
