[QUOTE="Joker, post: 5182506, member: 826"] ***Spoilers*** The following is all my opinion. You may come to different conclusions when and if you see this film. I am in no way saying my disappointment will be shared with others. I am also aware that the letdown I felt was because of the unrealistic expectations I had for this film; An epic that had similar levels of drama and gory violence as Gladiator. A rant follows. To put it crassly, this movie sucked. Hard. It was like the makers thought to themselves; Hey, I have a brilliant idea. Let's make a movie called Robin Hood but only dedicate the last 5 minutes to the character we've known from legend. Russel Crowe does his thing, Mark Strong pretends to be a French/English Romulan, as always I love William Hurt no matter how useless his character may be and Kate Blanchett does some serious lower lip quivering. All in all, phoned in performances dealing with an uninspired script. I think the movie deals with about six different stories that get some time to develop only to be relegated to a state of pointlessness. The battles which I had hoped for would be somewhat exciting looked and felt like they came straight from a TV movie. The French invasion force which was supposed to form ranks against the coming English onslaught was 1 row deep and 20 men wide without even CG warriors to fill their ranks. When I saw the WWII landing craft I had a dreadful feeling that we were going to get an over the shoulder shot from one of the English archers as the ramps came down and we saw French troops getting peppered by arrows with someone screaming in the back "OVER THE SIDE!" I think that this was not suppose to be an action epic but more of a character study and perhaps a shameless setup for a sequel. Even so, I thought it was dull. As entertainment it failed for me or I failed it with the earlier mentioned expectations. Did I mention some kid had a mask on that made him look like a wookie? I hope other people enjoyed it more. It's still Ridley Scott's work and I respect what he's done sofar. It did look very pretty at times and the French princess turned English queen is seriously hot. [/QUOTE]
