Quote:Got my Director's Cut version of Robin Hood from Amazon...started to watch it last night and have to admit to stopping it after about forty minutes as I was bored with it. Russell Crowe's accent began to bug me, and as has been said, it just doesn't spark.
I burned one of my free movie rentals from Blockbuster to see Robin Hood, your right Vindex, about 40 minutes in is about as far as the film can carry the viewer, had to force myself to finish it. The elements for a good film were present, but it just dose'nt work (or rather spark, as Vindex put it). I am really glad that I did not spend a small fortune at the theatre on this one.
And yes Paullus, those were some interesting landing craft used by the French in the final battle scene, I am curious, does anyone know of any such craft in use in the 12th century? :?
