"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

Review : Robin Hood 2010.



Shoot me at me heart! awwww

Well done, well done! I must say that it is nothing wrong with the bragging or being snobbish about, when the film you have said is slightly ever better or totally utterly different than compare with another version which are previously makes.

In this modern era of classical hero throughout history, I must say that the Robin Hood 2010 have not only mesmerize me with the line of the so very fines actors and actresses (salute to Cate Blanchett and Russell Crow) but with highly acclaimed linguistics of the kind (i am indeed happy with the features of Scottish, Welsh, Noble and Palaces English and not to mention French), planned and plotted well, rather not to tell tales of the old folks, and how the King @ Government can be very much greed over their power and fortunes. (more like today Governments)

I admit, we don’t look to movies for history lessons. But given that this is Ridley Scott, you’d expect at least a few rousing action scenes and some intelligent battle sequences instead of the namby-pamby CGI offerings on hand here.(example: clash of the titan)


And though it goes without saying that when the legend becomes fact, you film the legend, this time waster is neither. Maybe I’m just bummed out because one of the first books I remember reading with delight was Howard Pyle’s 1883 collection of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. Here, there isn’t even a single suit of Lincoln green.

Overall rating : 8 out of 10.
