If you had told me before I tried watching it that they could make a period piece set in medieval times with warriors fighting that would bore me to death, I would not have believed you. But damnit, they did it.
I stopped paying attention to it somewhere in the middle.

I loved it. It’s probably in my top 10 favorites of the year. However, I get why others would hate it. There’s 0 action after the first 30 minutes and that’s why it has bad audience reviews, But I loved the premise. An aging Robin Hood trying to cope with his past and is ready to die but isn’t going to just give his life to somebody unworthy of it. It’s dark, gritty, and a slow burn. Hugh Jackman is born for these types of roles.

Wut?
Robin was a vicious criminal. In fact so vicious that he conjured in his mind that his legend didnt exist. Not until he came across an old foe, did he remember his past. He then chooses suicide
It stretches the imagination that someone that is so bad that multitudes of people seek to kill him, yet somehow sees his life worthy of giving it over to someone
Its just another in a long line of films that Hollywood is using to tear down the legends and deeds of men who shaped western civilization, by either destroying those legends and men, or by swapping out the race/sex of the characters involved
So yeah, its most certainly a dont

It's based on a several hundred year old ballad called Robin Hood's Death. It's not really all that new of an idea to portray him as a murderer with many people wanting revenge on him.

In trying for a dark and gritty revisionist take on the legend, this movie ruins the story altogether.

True, but In the ballad Robin is traveling with Will Scarlett and Lil John. Robin is referred to as a knight. Robin's cousin is the prioress who betrays him. She was the woman who bled him, and then allows her lover Red Roger to stab him.
Lil John comes to his aid, but its too late. John asks permission to kill the prioress, but Robin refuses and says in his dying monologue that he has never harmed a woman, and does not intend to start now. And then asks John to preform the sacrament
So nothing in the ballad depicts Robin and his band of merry men as vicious criminals. Especially since they traveled openly, with a friar amongst them. All of that nonsense was added by the writers

Robin Hood is fiction, dude. This movie is fiction. And also not great. Chill out with the stupidity.

I like that they tried to take a different angle on the story but it diverged too much. While I do think that the concept of a virtuous brigand in the 12th Century England is a bit of a silly one, the whole idea of a fairy tale is to convey a harder message through lighter tones. The movie missed the mark but I will say the acting was really spectacular.
