Robyn Hood

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.

These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.

I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

Kevin Costner, all is forgiven. Every few years, it seems, we're given a modern update on a classic British tale, but mostly Tarzan, King Arthur, and Robin Hood. Every generation of directors must have their own go at this material, if only to prove their incompetence in understanding the reasons why the material has endured. And in 2023, "Robyn Hood" steps up to the plate and takes its swing at the ball.

The original story of Robin Hood is neutral and familiar. You can take this concept and make a good picture or a bad one, and the material can't be blamed.

If you're wondering whether the 2023 version is worth your time, ask yourself this: When I mention Kevin Costner above, do you know what I'm talking about? If yes, then go back and rewatch that version and skip this one. And even if you do not, watch that version instead of this one. Or pick one of the seemingly hundreds of other TV shows and movies based on this character. No matter which one you ultimately land on, it will be infinitely more interesting than 2023's "Robyn Hood".

Ok this clearly was never meant to make it to air. The script is just awful, plain right awful. I've seen "adult videos" with better scripts, production, plot and acting than this.

Characters spew their dialogue and the script is so clipped it's like the actors just wait for the other character to finishing talking before saying their line. It's like a notch above a school play but with a worse script.

The script makes zero effort to endear any of the characters too you. The main bad guy has more endearing qualities than any of the protagonists - all of whom are just portrayed as narcissistic petty criminals! Who was this made for?!? Police/Rich people = bad (is all you need to know)!

The plot is the most terrible part of the whole lot. It all feels like the someone scribbled the whole thing down in a space of half an hour while consuming mind-altering substances. Seriously how did this make it to air let alone past pre-production vetting?!

It's utter cringe garbage to the point watching it is actually funny to laugh at (not with). I loved the bit with the computer hacker guy who had to hack into a drone for "reasons" in the most utterly absurd way possible. Who seriously goes on a night heist, all dressed in black but with their "face" all lit up in LEDs?! Oh and then, in the middle of the heist, decide it's time to test the newly hacked drone?

Was funny to watch but don't think I can take anymore due to concerns over it effecting my mental wellbeing. It will damage your IQ if you attempt to think about any parts of the plot, writing this review has caused me some damage.

This is really really really bad..... Even if you get passed the bad acting, bad script, bad camera work, and bad production.... You are ultimately left with a terrible iteration of Robin Hood that ignores the original story....

These people are criminals straight up stealing from businesses.... For themselves.... Heres a little lesson for you kids.. They said "Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor" but thats not quite right. Robin stole from the govt, he stole back taxes and he spread it among the peasants. He didn't go raid the local vendor stalls.

Maybe if they labeled this as parody it could get a 2/10 at best.

The writing is awful. The acting is cringe. The Directing is amateurish. Don't waste your time unless you watch this as a farce. How many of these White people are bad shows are they going to make? There seems to a be a lack of talent across the board on this production. As it turns out nothing matters when considering who to hire to make a TV series except the ability to do the job. Here they obviously made color the first requirement to disastrous effects. This Robin Hood tale has been made many times over and made better. This is a definite skip and will join Batwoman and she-hulk as a total waste.
