Robin Hood discussion

[cleolinda]

Okay. Robin Hood. We have to talk about this. I have a headache, but I'm going to try.

Originally, this began as some weird thing called Nottingham (that was, in fact, the original entry tag I had for news about it), where Russell Crowe was going to play both Robin Hood and the Sheriff, and at one point it was supposedly a multiple personalities

Everyone who wants to fangirl Fox Robin Hood has to get in line behind me.

I just got back from seeing this movie, and was trying to organize my thoughts on this. Which basically go:

Russell Crowe looks hot in armor.
Richard dies... Okay, I see we're playing fast and loose with history.
LOL Merry Men are awesome.
Cate Blanchett is hot in... everything.
Blah blah blah politics.
FINALLY some hood in the forest-ing. Now maybe some more of Robin and the merry...
OMG MORE politics.
WTF Magna Carta written by a stone mason???
Yay fighting!
Aw! Russell and Cate will make beautiful hoodlum babies.
WTF Cliffs of Dover? From Nottingham???
WTF Maid Marion is leading hobbits... er, KIDS into battle? And has to get her ass saved by Robin? So. Not. Cool.

Galadriel would not need her ass saved by anyone.

Blah blah blah OUTLAW!
FINALLY! Into the forest with merry men.

And, cut.

How did Marian even GET to Dover? They made it look like it was a really long way! I mean, even in movie geography! If she'd followed them with a bunch of kids, I think they would have noticed!

Also, I liked how Robin went into battle with a hammer, because, stonemason, you see, and...

They didn't get to Dover because those cliffs are totally not white enough for Dover! I think they were landing on Normandy somewhere, they had the right boats.

Hey, somebody noticed! I just thought, wasn´t the D-Day, the Normandy landing a little bit later? Perhaps the Allied lent some boats from a french historical museum?

Yesterday, my husband and I were like, let's go see a movie! And then we saw that this was the big release, so instead we stayed home and watched Disney Robin Hood. AND IT WAS AWESOME, AS ALWAYS.

Also, Alan Rickman's sheriff is amazing, and that movie will always be worth watching for him!

I don't really have a point here - I just wanted to agree with you. :-)

Richard Armitage will always be the best Guy, EVERY actor after him pales in comparison!

[cleolinda]

There wasn't even a Guy of Gisborne in this one!

[glenvorian]

Talking about in general. :P

[cleolinda]

I'm just saying! There was just some dude called "Godfrey"! They started just MAKING STUFF UP.
