There are numerous Robin Hood stories told throughout history and this one was one of the most different. I don't know why it is not highly rated because I really loved this one's unique take on the Robin Hood legend, giving him an origin story and a totally different love interest and merry band and taking place with Robin as an older man. It was refreshing, well acted and directed.
I can watch it repeatedly and enjoy the varied emotions it evokes: the humor, the sadness, the pain and suffering, the lurking evil and the joy of getting back. I was intrigued by the many back stories introduced, such as the French intervention, the military influences, the royal intrigues and craziness. That last arrow shot by Robin was thrilling to watch. It was the epitome of climactic for a movie. I hope that is not considered a spoiler. Thoroughly enjoyable.
