>Let's make a Robin Hood movie but make it all grey and grimdark and remove everything funI fucking hate Ridley Scott like you wouldn't believe
I assumed this would be about Robin Hood/Saxons fighting against their invader overlords the Normans, like the Errol Flynn moviebut no it's some low budget garbage about nothing

>>221210102The plot twist about Robin's Dad and the Magna Carta in the Russel Crow film is more parody than anything in this.

The most annoying thing about this movie it the script was originally called Nottingham and had the Sheriff as the protagonist and it was really good.Then they turned it into the most generic soulless Robin Hood story ever
>>221210054I started watching a BBC King Arthur series and it was all done from a realism standpoint, no magic, the sword in the stone was a stupid allegory about a sword being under a stone that took teamwork to lift, blah blah blah.Total shit, dropped it.
If they wanted a dark robin hood movie, why not use some of the actual dark shit that happened in the original ballad? Like the time he cut a dude's head off and mounted it on his bow?
The original script Nottingham about the sheriff I assume was based on the 1991 comic book arc for Eclipse Comics's Robin Hood. The assumption of the story is that the politics of daily life in the higher echelons of society are not always what they seem, and then at the end when king Richard is telling the sheriff how disappointed he is in him for not catching Robin Hood, the understanding is that this is actually a compliment
