Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSir Ridley Scott said the only previous Robin Hood movie he thought was any good was Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993).
- GoofsFrom 1066 until 1399, English kings spoke French in their daily lives, and Latin in some diplomatic transactions. They usually did not even learn to speak English, which they regarded as a peasant language beneath their dignity. Their speaking English in the film is an acceptable artistic decision, consistent with all English and French characters speaking in modern, rather than medieval, standards of language.
- Quotes
Robin Longstride: Rise and rise again until lambs become lions.
- Crazy creditsThe first part of the end credits are in the same style as Ridley Scott's production company 'Scott Free Productions'.
- Alternate versionsOn DVD and Blu-ray Disc, the 16-minutes longer "Director's Cut" contains slightly more violence and expanded battles and additional character development.

Featured review
Good, but the sequel can be great.
I enjoyed this movie and was impressed by the amount of detail Ridley Scott puts into his productions.
Yes, it could have been better and I think some of the areas where it failed to meet the excellence of Gladiator were:
* Plot – too convoluted, better to keep it simple and the hate more intense between the goodies and the baddies. * Character development – there was virtually none for the Merry Men. If Little John, Will Scarlet and co are in the movie, please give them something meaningful to say. * Editing - I think the movie fell down in this area and the narrative seemed stunted and disjointed at times. Perhaps the material was not just there in the first place? * A lack of passion – Russell Crowe in particular was too low key in his role but was not the only one. And Russell, I did get confused at times as to what part of old England you came from.
But there were some that put much more into it such as Cate Blanchett and Max Von Sydow (good to see this great old actor can still perform) and the movie did have many good points. It was certainly a lot different to what I expected and some of the sets and scenes were outstanding. Watch for the dazzling credits. Looks from the ending there will be a sequel and with a few improvements, I think it can be great.
