Robin Hood
Directed by Ridley Scott
Inglaterra, siglo XIII. Robin Longstride, un magnífico arquero al servicio del rey Ricardo Corazón de León, vuelve de las cruzadas en tierra santa saqueando poblados mientras lucha contra las tropas francesas.

Allí conoce a lady Marion, su viuda, una mujer con carácter. Mientras tanto, en un país debilitado por una larga guerra, regido por Juan, un rey débil y poco eficaz, contra las rebeliones internas y las amenazas externas maquinadas por el pérfido Godfrey, Robin y sus hombres se dejan llevar hacia una aventura mayor: deciden ayudar a impedir que el país caiga irremediablemente en una sangrienta guerra civil, y devolver la gloria a Inglaterra.

Robin Hood Ratings & Reviews
- Shaydeknight29 de septiembre de 2025Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood takes a swing at reimagining the legendary outlaw, and the results are mixed. The film is packed with all the familiar names (Marion, Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, Alan-a-Dale, and of course the Sheriff) and the performances are solid across the board. These characters feel well-realized, even if the story they inhabit isn’t quite the one you expect. My biggest sticking point is the departure from the traditional Robin Hood tale. Instead of the familiar outlaw robbing the rich to aid the poor, Scott places Robin at the centre of a grander narrative tied to the historical events of 1212. While it’s nice to see an attempt at weaving in real history, the film makes Robin too central a figure and strays far enough from actual events that it becomes distracting. For some viewers, that reinvention might not matter but if you're looking for the myth you know or a decent historical re-enactment, it feels like a misstep because you don't get either. Instead, you get yet another "creative re-imagining" for which nobody was clamouring. That said, the technical craft is strong. The battle scenes are staged with Scott’s usual flair, full of grit, scale, and cinematic impact. They’re some of the highlights of the movie, and they show why Scott remains a master of epic spectacle when he’s at his best. Ultimately, Robin Hood lands on the "meh" side of Scott’s filmography: he’s a director whose work tends to be either groundbreaking or forgettable, with very little in between. This one isn’t his worst effort, but it’s far from his best. It’s watchable, well-acted, and occasionally stirring, but it never quite becomes the definitive take on the legend it wants to be. Sigh. OK, I'll say it: the Errol Flynn version is just plain better.
- ርልዪረ11 de enero de 2026🏹 This is not exactly Robin and his merry men, nor is this Errol Flynn swashbuckling and laughing his way through merry old England as he gets his jollies battling the sheriff of Nottingham. No, this particular take on the story of Robin Hood is very different - like none you've ever seen before. Even the historical setting is changed from what's usually offered. Here, rather than waiting out the evil regency of Prince John and his minions until King Richard returns from the Crusades, Richard is already dead. His death comes very early on in the movie in battle in France. John is the King of England in this movie, and rather than an unselfish "robbing the rich to give to the poor" type character, Robin (actually in this movie Robin Longstride, who finds himself impersonating Robert of Locksley and becomes known as "Robin of the Hood") is a more complex character. I wouldn't say exactly noble - especially in the beginning - and his battle is not so much for the poor as it's a battle for the "rights" of the English people, as he eventually takes on what seems to be the fight to get John to sign what I assume is Magna Carta, and at least temporarily has to ally himself with John to help lead the defence of England against a French invasion. The different historical setting is a bit disorienting to be honest - especially at first - but it also gives a degree of unpredictability to what's going to happen, and once you get a sense of where you are, when you are and what the fight is about it's easy enough to understand what's going on. Russell Crowe did a commendable job, I thought, in this alternate portrayal of Robin, and Cate Blanchett was most certainly a different kind of Marion. She's not the Maid Marion of legend. She's tough, she's a fighter, she goes into battle with the French - although not leading the battle, there's almost a Joan of Arc quality to her (minus the voice of God.) I was quite taken with Oscar Isaac as King John. He took the part and made it real. John came across as I would expect him to from the historical record - shifty and conniving, untrustworthy, quite willing to make and break whatever alliances are necessary at any given moment to ensure his survival as King and sometimes quite befuddled by his responsibilities. Perhaps a weakness was the fact that there was no real focus on Robin's men. Really only Will Scarlett (played by Scott Grimes) and Friar Tuck (played by Mark Addy) were significant elements in the story, and even they weren't particularly important. The sets and setting were good. This felt like I imagine England in the late 12th-early 13th centuries would have felt like. Rough, brutal, dirty. It worked for me. The battle scenes (and there are a lot of them) are very well done. Since the movie ends with the caption "And so the legend begins" one wonders if a sequel might be in the works, perhaps detailing the struggle leading up to the actually signing of Magna Carta? If so, I'd definitely watch it. This was quite good!
- eif99924 de enero de 2025It is a shame that even I find this a redundant idea fora new film. But maybe this one will be better liked overtime because it is outstanding. This viewer appreciated the old time charm and humor. Mark Strong strikes a chiseled profile not unlike Basil Rathbone. Like the whole idea of an origin story and not making everyone 23. Maybe my only gripe is making the French the real enemy removing the whole point of the Robin Hood myth.
- Zokkiie28 de diciembre de 2025A gritty, grounded take with strong performances and great visuals. It trades fun adventure for realism and politics, which is interesting but a bit slow. Not the most exciting version, but a thoughtful and good-looking watch.
- Vandyt27 de diciembre de 2025Ridley and Russell again… but this time nowhere near the level of Gladiator. As a blockbuster, the performances, action, and setting are straight-up facts. It goes head-to-head with the Kevin Costner one, but it holds its own
- Mister Arn19 de agosto de 2025“Robin Hood” (2010), directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe, trades folklore for political drama. This version is less about robbing from the rich and more about navigating the power struggles of medieval England, with Robin portrayed not as a legendary outlaw, but as a weary soldier swept up in the tides of war and monarchy. I appreciated the film’s grounded approach to the legend, its grit, its scale, and its ambition. My only real gripe is that it ends just as the story you expect is about to begin.
