Movie Review: Robinhood

Robin Hood hit theaters May 14 with stars Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Max von Sydow, Oscar Isaac, and Mark Strong, directed by Ridley Scott. Crowe is reportedly criticized because he spoke Irish when supposedly Robinhood portrays a thief who is a native of Nottingham, quotes Reuters.Nevertheless the movie speaks for itself. Here are some scoops from moviegoers.

David Edwards (Mirror):

“It’s thrilling, solidly entertaining, occasionally breathtaking…the film never gets bogged down in back story thanks to some great action set pieces…”

Anthony Stoeckert (New Jersey Newsroom) :

“…I wish Robin hood was a little more fun, but this is a movie about battle and action. It should be judged based on what it wants to be, and by that standard, it works. Its violence and war scenes are more intense than typical action movies…”

Michael Philiips (Chicago Tribune)

“I liked it. It’s on a par with Scott’s American Gangster; no revelations, but satisfying, large-scale genre movie, toned up by its cast.”

How about you, how did you find the movie?
