I ordered this film and then realised the appalling reviews it had got, nevertheless it came I watched, I love my films but this was the strangest film I have seen. It had good action through out, great scenery and some stunning sets, that being said I simply could not keep my attention on it, just seemed all wrong, after an hour I turned it off which is not my way, can't figure out what's missing but It's extremely difficult to watch??
Well I gave it another look without the preconceptions I had from reading the bad reviews which is what spoiled my first attempt to watch it, I expected it to be a load of rubbish.
If you view it as a completely different slant and interpretation it's not bad at all, in fact it's something different done very well. Some customers have assumed that Little John is portrayed by a black fellow, there is no Little John in this film, Jamie Fox's part is a Moor commander called Jahya, and there is no Will Scarlet in the vain of Robin's half brother its Will Tillman, this is why films get ambiguous reviews because people watch them then write about what they thought they saw rather than the actual film and its content and own merit. No merry band of men from Sherwood Forrest however the Forrest is mentioned in the last few minute, it's a film to be watched for it's own creative talent.
