Epic director Ridley Scott is back at it with his former movie Gladiator’s star, Russel Crowe, in his latest movie, Robin Hood. A much grittier version than Disney’s rendition, and more serious than Mel Brooks envisioning, this movie stars Russel Crowe as Robin Hood (obviously), and Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian, this movie is supposed to look behind the fairy tale of Robin Hood to the story of Sir Robin Hood of Locksley, Earl of Huntington, who Robin Hood is based on. I really enjoyed Gladiator, but didn’t enjoy Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven as much. I got the feeling that he made it too similar to Gladiator, and was just cashing in on some of the things people enjoyed with his first movie. So all I can do is hope that he doesn’t repeat it with this movie, because I don’t know about you, but I love the Robin Hood character, and will be quite upset if he manages to ruin this movie.
