It's official.
They are out of new ideas.

Surely by now they should have realised that the best Robin Hood movie was released eighty years ago and nothing since can touch it. Definitely time to move on.

They've been out of new ideas for quite some time.

Is Robin Hood and The Grinch the thing that signifies they're out of ideas? it's not that pretty much every new movie that's coming out is a sequel or remake, or Disney's remaking all their popular cartoon movies into live action, or every thing with a strong female in it is being remade, or they're remaking movies by just changing male characters to female. Or that they have rebooted Spider-Man and Batman 3 times and have sequels to all these reboots?

The incompetence is staggering.
I shudder to think of the lack of intellect on display in one of these executive meetings.
Hollywood Reporter had a roundtable show of studio production executives about 10 years ago and even then they were a brain dead bunch, speaking in platitudes--talking like political appointees. Most of them were only in film production because they were assigned to it by the head office. These were the people making decisions on what gets made and how.

As for Grinch this is the second time they have taken the classic 30 minute cartoon and put in all this crappy looking filler to make it longer when the original that gets played on TV every year is enough. And how many Robin Hood movies have they made? Both of these are being done to death. |

Yeah, nobody was asking for these. I'm going to stick with the cartoon versions. Of both of them. |

I don't care if it's a new Robin Hood movie since I'm partial to swashbucklers. I'm just annoyed it looks like shit.

Sorry but that can only work in a Mel Brooks movie. They’ done that before in the Kevin Costner movie and it worked fine. |

Well if that's your criteria, they ran out of ideas a long time ago as there's already been several Hollywood adaptions of Robin Hood

I think it’s that and they’re just killing two birds with one stone by combining that character with Little John (who Fox is playing). That way, they don’t have to pay I dunno, Ray Winstone or Mark Addy? |

The latest King Arthur movie flopped big time with Charlie Hunnam last year, so why would they think a Robin Hood movie would fare better, when we had one this decade already with Russell Crowe which did moderate to poor business? I'm sure the new Robin Hood was in production long before that last King Arthur film flopped. Anyway, I don't help the situation. I haven't seen that last King Arthur film yet, but I never get tired of Arthurian films, Robin Hood films, (as well as Sherlock Holmes films, vampire films, etc.--all of those standby tropes) I haven't loved every one, but I've loved plenty of them, and I liked the others well enough. I also don't get tired of anything related to Dr. Seuss, for that matter, and I've pretty much loved every Seuss-related film--yes, including the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat. I'd rather they adapt a Seuss story that has never been adapted, but still I'm excited to see a new Grinch. I also love almost every single Disney film--I love all of their animated films, and even almost every live action film they've done.. Really, when people ask what our favorite genre is, I should probably say that my favorite type of film is animated "family" stuff--pretty much every single one of those films--from Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Sony, Blue Sky, etc.--gets a 10 from me. So the chances that I won't like the new Grinch are pretty much nil. |

Robin Hood can go screw off, but I’m marginally interested in the new Grinch with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Surely by now they should have realised that the best Robin Hood movie was released eighty years ago and nothing since can touch it. Definitely time to move on. I will stick to the 73' Disney one and Kevin Costner's version which is also very enjoyable, entertaining and boasts a terrific Alan Rickman. I never cared for the Costner film, which goes on forever and features a host of terrible casting blunders. Rickman is the best thing about it, but I like him more in just about anything else. The Disney film is okay. Not one of their best but Peter Ustinov and Terry-Thomas make it worth a look. An awfully bland Robin, though. |
