May 14th
Opening on May 14th is another remake of the famed Robin Hood. For some reason there are a lot of remakes coming out soon. It's a trend in hollywood right now. I mean there's so many of them coming out. Such as the new Nightmare on Elm street and Clash of the Titans that we did posts on, and not to mention The Crazies that was released which was another remake. Anyhow back to Robin Hood. Russel Crowe stars in this as Robin Hood along with Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian, Robin's little love affair deal. Besides these two there are not that many well known actors. This cast does not seem to be very prestigious at all. The director is Ridley Scott. The man that directed blade runner back in the 80's and gladiator in 2000. This will be the 5th time that Scott will work with Crowe. The last time was back in 2008 with The Body of Lies where Crowe also co starred the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

The story involves Sir Robin Longstride who returns from fighting in the 3rd crusade in 12th century England. During his absense he discovers that the Sheriff of Nottingham has become a ruthless tyrant and has caused a lot of havoc and destruction in his hometown. In order to free his village and restore order Robin Hood commands his band of Merry Men in Sherwood to defeat the Sheriff of Nottingham. However every man needs his rewards right? Robin Hood is no exception, during all of this he hopes to win the hand of Lady Marian.

I happen to be a huge fan of the Scott and Crowe duo. I thought Gladiator and Body of lies were just absolutely fantastic films. However i do have to say that Scott expects his audience to be a little bit more sophisticated than the average Joe. He has a very complicated plot with many events and turns that force you to think a little bit more. Now for the person that goes to movies just to watch the great fight scenes and the action this movie may not be the best for you. However nonetheless I recommend it highly and we can expect it to be a blockbuster hit
