Who was Robin Hood before becoming Robin Hood? And why should we care? Well, I didn't care. But it's not a bad film. It's watchable. It's just mediocre. Everything is mediocre except for Max von Sydow as Cate Blanchett's blind father.

And Russel Crowe... He's not really that bad after all, it's just that the script doesn't give him much space - he's not going through any particular change like in Gladiator, he's not even much in love, he's just a regular fellow who doesn't seem to have the slightest idea why Ridley Scott wanted to make a film about him.

Watch it for acting and for the fight scenes. But preferably, skip it to punish Scott for being to lazy to come up with an original script.
