Well it was epic, but for beginning it works.

Well we all know the story, of the infamous Robin hood. he's mode always was steal from the rich, and give to the poor. With so many reincarnation, from novel, tv series, etc. There's a new version, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring gladiator Russell Crow. But it beg is it good, to steal, or rather be left to the rich?
Here's my arrow of review:

King Richard(Danny Huston) was running he's campaign all over France, where a archer and he friend fight at he's side. Robin Longstride(Russell Crow), where he's friend Little john(Kevin Durand), Will(Scott Grimes), and the musician Allan(Alan Doyle) fight with all their might, until they escape. Soon after the King ha fallen. A group of knight travel back to London to give the announcement, until they are ambush by French knight lead by Godfrey(Mark Strong). In their way Robin and he's friend are caught in the fray.
By now they find their one way ticket to home. As disguising as knight, and return the crown.
Meanwhile back in Nottingham Lady Marion(Cate Blanchett) is having trouble on plating, cause everyday her farm is been rob by a pact of orphan Hoodlum. In London News came of the death of the king that Prince John is name as the new, As for robin and he's merry man head to Nottingham, where they are receive as hero, Lady Marion welcome Robin to her house, where he meet the Lord of the country side. A telling him about the death of he's child. Meanwhile back on London, King John star to cause trouble when he sent he fellow man Godfrey to ambush and storm every village, taking everything of their wealth. Knowing soon that he actually a french spy, preparing a invasion. That London wont be knowing. Back Robin star to enjoy of he's new life, with all he friend, until trouble come. This is only the beginning of a legend that save England, and defeated the French. Outlaw he was, but hero became.

Well i got say the chemistry of all the actors were good, is like having a party in a bar, or better yet High School. Russell play he same all hero title that he done before. From Proof of life, to gladiator. Cate Blanchett play her best foolish, and amazon warrior in years, not Oscar worthy but fair. Oscar Issac should have been the villain, cause unfairness to he's role, that he transformation of hero of war was just blain.

Well it play out more of a epic(that Ridley is always good on doing), but it fell flat. By the middle of the film, when their just talking about starting a civil war. But the way is told was good, but there were so many changes, wasn't the forest Sherwood, And lady Marion was in fact a princes?
Well what ever they did, entertain. The way Of the archer was the prime focus when it came to the battles. This is more of the origin, of what made Robin the legend that he is know. But of course the changes, we didn't see the star of he's stealing, well just one scene, after that. Is just some sword slashing.

Ridley really want it to turn it into a epic that it work. But come on this guy is a hero, and a thief at the same time, that should be the prime focus of the film. The changes they did, really got me of guard. I m sticking to the classic. But it work for passing the time.
