Robin Hood

May 30.

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe teaming up for "Robin Hood" sounded like a great idea. And then the reviews poured in. I almost skipped the movie but still wanted to see what the two could do with this great story. I'm glad I did because I liked it so much more than the critics.

Scott and Crowe gave Robin a real, gritty feel. And, Cate Blanchett, (Maid Marion) can do no wrong. I got a little lost in the history, which is based on folklore, so who knows, but loved the new look at this story I've seen told many ways.

"Robin Hood" takes place before Robin Longstride steals from the rich and gives to the poor. This movie tells the story of how this man became Robin Hood. All I can hope is that there's a part two!
