The Death of Robin Hood

Actual trash

7.3/10
A reverse slow burn:
The climax happened at the beginning of the movie and we see a rejection of the traditional Robin Hood story in place of a much darker one.
The violence was brutal and the themes were intense.
Not really an action adventure although that’s kinda how it begins.
More of a character drama.
Hugh Jackman absolutely killed it.
The ending completely rejects the Hollywood version of Robin Hood.
I really enjoyed this film but it might be a little slow for some.

8,5/10 🍿🍺

This is not the Robin hood of legends. Though this Robin Hood might have spun some of the tales in order to cover up past crimes and to help him commit further ones. This is a Robin Hood living in a brutal world, doing violent things and he is good at it. But it is wearing on him. He is finding it hard to unclench. He is like one of his bows, constantly under tension. After several very violent interactions he is sent to a convent to heal They veered away from a love story between the Abbess and Robin Hood as they could easily have done. This story is not about Robin hood finding a new life. This is the story of a man coming to terms with how he lived it. Only in his last years is he able to give some mercy to himself and those he meet. There is no redemption for his deeds, but there is finally regret. As in the legends, at the end an arrow is loosed as he dies, marking a last letting go. I found it deeply moving, it might be too slow for some, to violent for others, but it is true

3/10

The beginning grabs you so fast and then there's a lot of spoken exposition and a huge pacing shift that ultimately leaves you feeling like you just got bait and switched. Nothing bugs me more than shifts in pacing and spoken exposition when the audience would rather see it. 5/10
