Not your traditional Robin Hood

This film was a break from the traditional telling of Robin Hood, and that was a good thing. It did not try to compete with Prince of Thieves, but was more the creation of Robin Hood with a decidedly Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott spin. A bit harsher, a bit older, a bit more world wise and not adverse to lying Robin and Cate Blachett's Marion are made for each other. The sheriff of Nottingham was even reduced to a minor role, with Prince John, Geoffrey and the French playing the villains. I was delighted that Marion was a woman who could hold her own and very opinionated. This movie also seemed to leave the door wide open for a more traditional sequel. I was left wondering if they were planning to do just that. All in all, My friends and I enjoyed this film and left the theater talking about it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lots of fun

I was expecting the movie to be action packed and fun. It did not dissappoint. I liked guessing at the identities of the characters and found it surprisingly humorous. It was more fun than I have had in a theater in a long time. It was exciting, action packed and the special effects were great. My dad came a long, who is not much of a movie fan and had never watched Star Trek, but even he found it fun and time well spent. Even if you don't know the crew of the original USS Enterprise, this movie is a blast of an introduction to the Star Trek Universe.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
