The barbaric version of the famous legend of “Robin Hood” was made by Otto Bathurst, the main character will be Robin of Loxley, a battle-tested Crusader, and his Moor companion Yahya, who will rebel against the dishonest king of England and his mercenaries. There are elements of justice, rebellion and friendship in this movie that seeks to play backdrop of political struggle.
Egerton does well portraying Robin and Foxx provides substance with portraying Yahya. It also has a lot of energy in fight scenes and acts of stealing which are mostly using bow and arrows, and notable excellent picture direction that encompasses enormous scenes and personal battles. However, there is an issue of consistency and continuity of the story, sometimes this movie really jumps from one scene to another without giving the audience quite suitable character’s growth to show, for example, the antagonists Sheriff of Nottingham, played by Ben Mendelsohn. Sadly, Joseph Trapanese has matched the film’s tempo but on occasions he has overshadowed the dramatic moments on the big screen.
In summation the film adaptation of this folklore is enjoyable and played out accurately with great feed and good stunt work but ofcourse Robin Hood as a plot has its lwo points. Thus, while others would think that the movie is simply humorous and recalling rebellion against tyranny for those who decide to change the look at the known story.
