This is not the Walt Disney version of Robin Hood. Directed by Ridley Scott, director of Gladiator, the beloved children's classic is turned into a serious and edgy movie that is more appealing to older audiences. The movie has a genuine feel to it, it is not the typical glitzy Hollywood productions of Robin Hood we are use to. This movie is a darker version of Robin Hood that has never been done before. It has blood, epic battles, and romance, sort of like Gladiator. In the trailer we first see Robin as a young child whose beloved father is killed before his eyes. Later in life he comes across a tyrannical sheriff who over taxes the people of Nottingham. Robin gathers a band of men to stop the sheriff and bring wealth back to the people of Nottingham. For the movie Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett play Robin Longstride (Robin of the Hood) and Maid Marion. Russell Crowe is the perfect actor to portray this new version of Robin Hood because no one can play a historical bad ass better then him, see Gladiator. Cate Blanchett plays a sassy and independent Maid Marion who wins the affection of Robin Hood. While it is a story many have known since childhood, the newest version of Robin Hood is sure to give you a new perspective on a classic. From fabulous actors to epic battle scenes, what is not to like about this updated Robin Hood. This is a movie for an older audience who wants to see an action-packed blockbuster that keeps you enthralled and on the edge of your seat.

I think starting off with saying that this movie is not the typical Robin Hood, makes it appeal more to an older audience right of the bat. Mentioning all that the movie entails as well as comparing it to Gladiator also captures your audiences attention. & of course the Oscar winning actors may help a little ;) Great job, I really enjoyed the trailer!
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds like a great movie!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say I am so excited to see this movie?! It is so appealing to me since I grew up with the story as many others our age did but now we get to see the darker side of the story and who wouldn't be interested in seeing this story from such an interesting perspective?
