Robin Hood

****  I really enjoyed this movie a lot.  Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott put together another entertaining adventure.  Similar to "Gladiator" but of course following the Robin Hood legend.  I liked how the movie flowed introducing the Robin Hood character and also the royalty and political conflict at the time.  Kate Blanchet is wonderful as usual, and the development of Robin Hood's band of merry men is well done. The Action Scenes are fun to watch and believable.  Unfortunately, they try to wrap up the story too neatly in the end so that it would fit historically with the Robin Hood legend, that made it corny and too much like a fairytale.  Still a good movie and worth a rental.  Recommend
