Cast: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Mark Strong, Max von Sydow
Direction: Ridley Scott
Robin Hood, the famous bandit robbed the rich to feed the poor, he was Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe), a archer in the army of King Richard. And like all other patriotic Englishmen, he was fighting on two front with first Prince John (Oscar Issac) who sucks the common men dry with his irrational tax system and second which was working through an English spy, Godfrey (Mark Strong).
Scott has chosen on a period of time before the legend of Robin Hood was actually born. Unlike the one who leads his men through one archery encounter after the other in the earlier versions, this Robin is a real hero who bathes, dines and breakfasts in simple way. Even his romance with Lady Marion is fleeting and cries out for Bryan Adam's. Marion knows how to defend herself, well and proper.
