"Robin Hood" chronicles the origins of the honourable thief of stories, and begins long before he takes up arms against the crown. Robin Longstride (Russel Crowe), previously interested only in self-preservation, is in service to King Richard's army against the French. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation. There he meets Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett) and Sir Walter Loxley and agrees to help them by pretending to be Sir Robert Loxley in the hopes this will hold off the crown from claiming the lands. But other forces are at work that could push the country into civil war, as well as open the shores to foreign invasion. Robin must face his own past in his attempt to save himself and save his country, and begin the founding of a legend that will echo through the ages.

I think Ridley Scott has lost the plot!
Very disappointed! Russell Crowe's accent kept changing from northern Irish to Scottish to Yorkshire which was really bizarre! Nearly as bad as Alexander ... read more »
Russell Crowe is convinced the set of his new movie Robin Hood was a dangerous place to be - because so many actors sustained injuries during the epic battle scenes. The Oscar-winner plays the English folk hero in Sir Ridley Scott's adaption of the classic tale, which also stars Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion. The blockbuster includes a series of high-action scenes, in which hundreds of extras play out fight sequences - and Crowe admits many of the actors suffered for their art on the movie... Read more
