Robin Hood: Russell In Spanx

This isn't really the Robin Hood I know. Where's the singing mice? Where's the Bryan Adams song to serenade me until I can't hear anything anymore because my ears have filled with barf? Russell Crowe spent 8 weeks at Fat Camp listening to Dianne's annoying ass FOR THIS?! This is like an ad for the marines.

Ridley Scott just needed to take Gladiator, and use some CGI crap to replace Rome with a forest. There you go. Russell could've kept his place at the buffet and everybody would've been happy.

I'll watch it but Robin Hood to me will always be Errol Flynn or my beloved Michael Praed!!

Errol Flynn he is not. Crowe is too old and too pudgy to play Robin Hood.

I chuckled at the part when Robin Hood rises out of the water and you see this puffy, chubby face going "RAWWWWWRRRR!!!!!"

This would've been hot about ten years ago when Crowe was still fine. Now they probably have to stuff him into two "Oprah-strength" spanx, lots of dark, flattering olive-toned outfits and long boots for that slimming effect.

Pfft. You know Cate Blanchett wouldn't be the fair Maid Mariam if SHE had gained 50 pounds.

Eh I'll give it a chance only because Mark Strong's in it.

I like Blanchett, but she's a bit old to be playing Marian.

Robin Hood, OK, but if remakes Dances with Wolves, I'm going to sue on Costner's behalf

Was it really necessary to make another Robin Hood movie? I mean, were people screaming for one? Was there a line outside Ridley's door begging him to make another Robin Hood movie? No? Then WHY?? Robin Hood is not exactly One of the Ten Men Who Changed the World!!! Is he??

However, I do love me some Cate so I might see it when it hits the DVD store or HBO or wherever!!

I don't care how fat Russell Crowe gets...I'd still hump that tub of lard all the way across the English Channel.

I can no longer stand Russell Crow.

And I'll stick with "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" for my "real" movie and Disney's Robin Hood as my favorite Robin Hood of all.

I think it looks stunning. Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett... both amazing. Shot by Ridley Scott and it will be beautiful. I thought Gladiator was great too... and visually just impeccable.

Wow, it does look a lot like Gladiator, except no Djimon Hounsou is a short skirt, which was the best part of Gladiator.

But I usually like Ridley Scott, so I'll go see it.

Submitted by TheBreakdown on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 4:07pm.

*yawn*

What the fuck ever!

Gladiator: over-rated.

Russell Crowe and his hotness: VASTLY over-rated.

The ONLY reason why I will see this?

Cate Blanchett!

Damn, I didn't realize the Merrymen stormed the beaches of Normandy on their way to Sherwood Forest. Disney left that part out I guess.

This is not the right casting....unless they are going for a remake of that Sean Connery / Audrey Hepburn movie where they played aged Robin and Mariam. Russell is wayyyy past his prime and Cate (as much as I like her) looks like a witch here. Come to think of it, the Kevin Costner caca fest was the same thing too. I was never able to sit through the entire think and I predict the same for this one. I'd much rather watch the Errol Flynn version any time.
