This looks worse than The Great Wall.

Just make a normal movie man.

When is this movie supposed to take place? It looks like an amalgamation of present and past.

I mean the only thing that the trailer remotely links it to the 15th century is a bow and arrow.

Jamie Foxx is 5'8" and slim. Are they going to CGI him bigger or just eliminate that part of the joke?

Why does Hollywood seem to have absolutely lost the ability to bring these old established stories to life?


One part of it is the forced diversity, but that's not all of it. Very large black men exist and I'm sure at least one of them is an actor. That said, chances are a black man in England during the Crusades is likely a bit more African than Jamie Foxx.

Seems like they are trying too hard to make an “edgy” Robin Hood and getting away from the legend.


It's like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet without the pizzazz.

I tried watching the trailer, but I had to turn it off before Robin started using krav maga on a humanoid robot.

They honestly should have stopped with Kevin Costner's Prince of thieves. GOAT Robin Hood movie and GOAT casting from top to bottom. Alan Rickman's Sheriff was the best.

Also, no Bryan Adams song, no care.

You guys may think the bow combat in that looks cheesy, but it is right how they did it. Knocked it from the outside, much quicker.

In the legend, and every film version I’ve ever seen, Maid Marian is NOT married to Will Scarlett, or anyone else, hence the title Maid before her name.

Men in Tights is the GOAT Robin Hood Movie.

Would you like to know why?




I liked the Costner movie but Costner was horrible, like he is most of the time.

Director: "Kevin, Kevin, forget trying to be English. You suck at it. Just use your normal Bull Durham monotone and we'll get by. Morgan can carry the acting until Connery shows up at the end."

That was the worst spoiler leak ever. The only good thing about the movie and Entertainment Tonight tells everyone before the movie is released.

According to IMDB, Jamie Foxx most certainly is playing Little John.

Why do he and Maid Marian speak with American accents when the movie is set in the British Middle Ages?


Fun fact:
Thats actually a more accurate representation of how Brits sounded back then.

Robin and Marian isn't too shaby either.

Sean Connery
Audrey Hepburn
Robert Shaw
Richard Harris

It's not a thriller but a love story.
