Time and time again, Ridley Scott has proven himself to be an amazing director. On the other hand, I have to admit I can appreciate the attempt at trying something new and unexpected. And the several allusions to real historical events, such as the Magna Carta, only succeed at muddling things further. But it's not a wholly satisfying experience either, mainly because it feels like we're forced into waiting until the final moments for the real story to at last begin, almost as if the preceding 140 minutes were nothing more than exposition. To restructure the original setting of a beloved classic and reconfigure an entire narrative that has been passed down for hundreds of years is pretty daring and different, to say the least. While there may not be a single agreed-upon story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, this version to English folklore is quite a bold move on the part of the filmmakers. King John (Oscar Isaac) still plays a major role as the selfish, juvenile ruler, but his personal fight with Robin doesn't come to fruition until much, much later. Friar Tuck (Mark Addy) and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen) also make minor appearances, but they come off more like cameos than important figures.

Scott's Robin is literally an impostor, posing as Robert, husband to Lady Marian (Cate Blanchett) and son to Sir Walter (Max von Sydow).

Many of the same archetypes are now introduced at different periods in his journey to becoming the symbolic hero against tyranny and the abuse of power. It's at this point that it suddenly dawns on us - that is, if you didn't already know the plot before watching the film - this is not the Robin Hood fairy tale we've come to love and remember. The baldheaded man is quickly chased away, and Robin promises to return Robert's sword to his father in Nottingham. After the death of Richard the Lionheart (Danny Huston), the four men head back home and stumble upon Godfrey (Mark Strong) stealing the crown from Sir Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge). Robin, who's just a common archer in the King's military (the first of several severe changes made to this wildly popular and well-known story), is friends with Will Scarlet (Scott Grimes) and soon befriends Little John (Kevin Durand) and Allan A'Dayle (Alan Doyle) on the battlefield. The film opens with Robin Longstride (Crowe) in the midst of warfare against France, supposedly fighting one final conflict of the crusades before heading back to England. Unfortunately, this sword-wielding adventure tale across Medieval England aims a bit too high and ultimately misses its mark. With high production values and a seemingly interesting, if not at least original, script, this contemporary look at the outlaw of Sherwood Forrest rewrites myth, as well as history, in order to create the story behind the legend. The filmmakers replace the sort of sweeping romance and swashbuckling excitement commonly associated with the fables of Robin of Loxley with political intrigue and graphic battles. Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe reunite once more - making this their fifth collaboration - for another historical epic in this drastically-different retelling of Robin Hood.
