Exclusive Preview of Robin Hood Movie @ Illuma

Robin Hood will be available in most cinemas world wide tomorrow [See world-wide release dates], but I have already watched it yesterday (10 March 2010).

Here’s the proof:P

So hows the movie? This is a quick and brief review as I am still busy packing for my overseas trip tomorrow.

THE STARS

Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Max Von Sydow, Mark Strong, Danny Huston, Mark Addy

THE STORY

This movie chronicles how Robin Hood became Robin Hood (or Robin of the Hood). Robin Longstride (Robin before he put on the hood), traveled back to England with the dead King’s crown to report the news of the Kind demise. After that, to return a sword passed to him by a dying soldier on the battlefield, he traveled to Nottingham where he “kope” that dying soldier’s wife, led a group to fight for England, and went into the forest and became Robin of the Hood.

CONCLUSION
Most of us already know about the deeds of fictional and non-fictional heroes alike; there is nothing interested in seeing Ironman or Spiderman doing their job. Imagine a movie where we see Robin Hood robbing and robbing and robbing. Nothing interesting.

While most of us know who Robin Hood is and what he does, we do not know how he became Robin Hood, and this movie shows us just that. This movie also caters to a wide audience. There is romance, war and politics.

A must watch movie if you want to find out how Robin put on his hood!

A BIT TOO OBVIOUS
During the final battle scene, no one wore a full helm except for Lady Marion who came out of nowhere on a horse. I felt this is rather obvious that the actress did not know how to ride a horse, so by having her come into battle with a helm, we can’t see the face so they could easily substitute someone else to take her role!
