Robin Hood was released to DVD this Tuesday, so of course I rushed out to buy it, curious about the director's cut. The extra scenes are amazing! and I cannot believe they were cut from the theatrical version. Love, love this movie and the soundtrack. Please let there be a sequel.
The movie was ok, :) I like the fight scenes
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be an old grouch here and say that the movie WAS great except for the final scene. I just couldn't buy the idea of Marion turning up in full heavy armour with a bunch of little boys. And second grouch, I don't think Cate B... was right for the part, frankly.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a sequel. ♥♥♥
Kate
Ruzu - well, there certainly was quite a bit of fighting in it!
ReplyDeleteKate - Ha. Maybe Cate was having an Elizabeth flashforward:) The Greenwood boys did seem a bit of a stretch against men in full battle gear.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I loved Cate in this role.
Not seen it yet - but on the list.
ReplyDeleteA 'must own DVD'!! Why oh why, don't they make men like the ones on the photo anymore?? :O) Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHermes - ok, I'm a bit OCD, but I saw it 3x in the theatre. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAputsiaq - Exactly!!! on all counts. Robin was just amazing as were his merry men.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it yet. I love the tale of Robin Hood, but quite frankly, there is something about Russell Crowe that I can't stand. I would much rather see- oh, maybe Viggo Mortensen in the lead role. Then I would watch it everyday! :)

Shannon - I'd not seen much of his work before but was shocked that I loved him in this role.
ReplyDeleteViggo - oh yes:)
O.M.G.
ReplyDeleteGypsy Moon really said Viggo as Robin Hood? HOW am I going to concentrate on *anything* else today??? A girl after my own heart.
Mermaiden - she did indeed!
ReplyDeleteI also would prefer to see Viggo in the role!
ReplyDeleteAngela - No doubt Viggo's performance in LOTR has left a lasting impression on all of us:)
ReplyDeleteihavent seen it yet..havent had time..I CANT WAIT!
ReplyDeleteCatHerder - get thee to the video store! Can't wait to hear your review/thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree with Shannon and others. I avoided this movie because of RC in the title role AND becoz of Cate too. Yeah, Viggo!
ReplyDeleteJulie - I seem to be outnumbered!! HA. I really love this movie - but the story is a long-time favorite.
