So I guess he's original Antifa or something? And for god's sake, why is he wearing a hoodie?!?!?

Yeah, that's a nope. I don't think much of Jamie Foxx's British accent either. This looks worse than King Arthur.

I'm not against them making a new Robin Hood movie. Hell I welcome Hollywood pouring money into a classical swashbuckler film;I'm discounting the ones based off modern properties like Pirates of the Caribbean or Prince of Persia. I just hate it when it's one of these movies, like the aforementioned King Arthur: Legend of the Sword or The Three Musketeers (2011). It doesn't trust audiences to enjoy the elements that makes the source material a timeless classic work of fiction (or at the least entertaining) so it opts for either the trendy grim-dark or it's so absurdly ott that you cannot take it seriously. I heard the new Zorro reboot is supposed to be like this cyberpunk dystopian re-imagining. Gah!  |

The pace was like a meth overdose, and the story just way too choppy. ETA: I want to punch Robin in the face just from the trailer. His character is clearly a smug asshole. |

It's kind of sad actually. When they first announced this I was semi-excited. I love the Robin Hood story.
Then the trailer came out and it was everything I didn't want to see. Better luck next time!

I actually wish Marvel would give Hawkeye his own movie. If they want to do a modern Robin Hood story, that would be the perfect way to do it, by making his story Robin Hood-esque. I prefer Robin Hood in the appropriate time period, though. I agree with the post up-thread that said Robin Hood doesn't need anything added to his story to make it interesting. I consider Costner's film the one to beat. |

Walt Disney's The Story of Robin Hood and His Merry Men is a decent straight version of the story.
Who was the bald guy in Scott's Robin Hood?
I thought that guy so inconsequential as a villain.

Agreed, Renner is always good. |

Kind of an aside, but does anyone remember when Jamie Foxx did the black Tony Blair on Chappelle's Show? I thought he was being campy with the accent, but clearly that's him doing a Brittish accent. I feel like I need a Brit to verify if it's as bad as it sounds to me, or if I'm just being a dick.

The old synopsis said he and Robin met during the crusade iirc. Edit: Okay the trailer gave no indication of that and neither did the previous one, but it's probably still in there. Also lol at his voice cracking deeply during training. |

I'm going to be that guy. I can't wait to see this. It looks awful, I agree. If it were any more anachronistic, Robin would be riding a motorcycle. But screw it, I'm in. Also, I like Mendelsohn but is he getting tired of playing the same character in every film?
