I am giving this movie 5 stars. It was awesome (a lot more violent than I thought) and the first movie I am including in this blog that we saw all new and fancy in the movie theaters.
I love the Robin Hood stories... from the Disney original cartoon to the BBC series. This version of Robin Hood was a universal "prequel" to the common Hood we know that "robs from the rich and gives to the poor." The movie touches upon historical problems of the British sovereignty system and how power corrupts. King Richard is not the Saint he is regarded as in other stories, and Kind John is more stupid and vain than outright menacing.
Although the story, age (much older main characters than in any Robin Hood films/books I have come across before) and Robin's relationship to Nottingham are all novel to this story it stays true to the adventurous Robin Hood spirit. Jolly old Friar Tuck is in the movie with his popular brew, and the band of outlaws/merry men that support Robin's heroic actions are depicted with color and optimistic loyalty. I definitely recommend checking out this movie in the theaters as there is a beautiful watercolor animated montage at the end of the movie during the closing credits that was an added bonus to the fun movie experience.
