Seersucker Suit Movie Review - Robin Hood

This was a movie filled weekend, and I've got another one to tell you about!  Let's talk Robin Hood.

A few weeks ago TEN had Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on the TV.  I hadn't seen it, so I watched it with him.  I "ooh'd and ahhh'd" about how I hadn't known the back story on Robin Hood.  I had always thought he was a bit of a scoundrel, who decided to help "his people".  I knew he did this by robbing the rich (like King John...bad, bad, man!) and giving to the lovely poor people.

I hadn't known he was a Lord.  I hadn't known about his father.  I hadn't know a lot.

AND THEN......

This weekend Robin Hood was a soldier.  An archer.  With ZERO noble blood.  What?!?!? 

Here, have a look at this trailer:



Throughout the whole movie I kept saying "when is he going to rob from the rich people and give to the poor?".  "Wasn't King John played by a lion in the cartoon? What were Robin Hood and Maid Marion?  Were they foxes?"  "Why isn't Robin Hood a Lord in this version?  I'm so confused."

Basically, I missed a lot of the movie and TEN lost his patience with me.  He kept "shush-ing" me.  I still don't know exactly what happened, but I did like the movie.  What I can't tell you is whether or not I like it better than Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I know that watching both of them confused me.  But, that's probably just me.  Because I also had this version running through my head:

As you know by now, I do love anything that is about the Lords and Ladies of England.  Seeing the Tower of London had me bouncing in my seat.  Because I saw the Tower of London in real life.  Two years ago.  And boy has it changed!  (hahaha...kidding)  Anyway, if you like movies where people scuffle, and they are fighting for a cause, and there is a love story.....but they do not rob from the rich to give to the poor....then you will like this movie :)

So, for a pretty good movie I give Robin Hood:

ONE SEERSUCKER SUIT!  Now, I would like to note that I am not a fan of these types of movies really.  So, if you are then you would probably have given it two seersucker suits.  Its just that I much prefer movies where there isn't a bunch of battling and nonsense taking place.  I prefer cold, calculated murder.  I'm just sayin....
