I'm going to watch Robin Hood today. Looking forward to taking my mind off the last 5 minutes of *that* finale.

Not really a fan of Russell Crowe but I like Cate Blanchett and I can't wait to see how she's going to play Marian. I read that the movie is too serious but I love serious. The past versions of Robin Hood were mediocre at most. Prince of Thieves was okay, Alan Rickman was awesome in it, Men In Tights, well the title speaks for itself, and I can't quite remember the TV series except that Michael Praed was pretty hot.

The trailer looked awesome!

I still don't get why they thought we would need one more Robin hood film but from what I've read this one is more like Gladiator and the story is a bit different.

I am conflicted when it comes to Russel Crowe. I've liked him in some roles but absolutely hated him in others. Not sure he "appeals" to me. ;)

I'll always love Kevin Costeners Robin Hood. Yup. I did like that one. :)

Oh Suzy, this one was indeed different from the other versions. It was darker for one thing, and its funny moments were few and far between. But it was good nevertheless! I wouldn't say that Crowe had won me over or anything like that, but I think he did a good job as Robin. And Cate was, as always, wonderful.

Do see it for Cate if nothing else!

I will probably see it when the DVD comes out. *lol* Can't resist Robin Hood after all. Think I've seen every version since Errol Flynns Robin Hood. :)
