Robin and the Hoods

Watching this movie not only made me smile, it also prove that with a strong enough imagination, you can always have a great time with friends.

Couple that with the references to Robin Hood and you got yourself a great family film. As an adult, though; I can't help but feel ashamed by the soft-hearted minds of some of the parents in Longsight. One mother's kid gets a tiny scratch on his forehead and she has him wearing a neck-brace?!

Pathetic!

I DO agree on the "No Hits Above the Shoulders" rule, though (or as some LARPers call it, the "Triangle of Doom.") Overall, this movie was a blast!!!

This is such a beautiful film. First of all I want to say Darcy's professionalism and maturity in leading this film can not go ignored. Watch her future! Exceptionally gifted actress. Of course Naomi Harris is just an incredible actress and enjoy her performance and of course Gwendaline Christie who is a legend. Aura is a wonderful character!

Mark Williams and the rest of the cast, just wonderful.

I enjoyed the connection to nature, the imagination and the generally the storyline. Such a beautifully filmed movie!!

A lovely family film. I would recommend this to anyone. So uplifting and warm.

This was truly an exceptional watch. It's not just about the comedy or the entertainment-it goes much deeper. It's a reflection on our existence, our future, and the generations yet to come. It's all about our connection to nature. It captures the boundless imagination of a child, envisioning a dream that offers breathing space not just for children, but for the entire universe.

I truly admire the entire story, especially the heroic leadership displayed by the children. Every family should watch this movie-not just for entertainment, but to absorb the valuable lessons it imparts. Protect the trees, encourage children to enjoy nature, and foster a spirit of unity among them. This film shows that even adults will be inspired to step forward and support them.

I just watched this movie, and wow, it totally hit the spot! It's one of those feel-good films that lifts your spirits and gets you all excited. The story is packed with emotions, from heartfelt moments that tug at your heartstrings to inspiring scenes that show the sweet rewards of hard work and perseverance, like sugar and honey. The way it balances humor, heart, and motivation is just perfect. I was glued to the screen, smiling and cheering for the characters! The director did an amazing job weaving this story together, and the writer deserves a big shoutout for creating such a vibrant world. The actors, especially Robin, Little Dan, and the Chubby Wizard, were absolutely fantastic-they brought so much charm and energy. This movie left me in such a great mood, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a dose of joy and inspiration. Huge thanks to the entire team for this gem!

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2024 family fantasy adventure movie "Robin and the Hoods", I had never heard about it, so I didn't really have much of any expectations. And the fact that it was a family movie wasn't really doing much to bolster my expectations, if I have to be fully honest.

But I will say that writers Stuart Benson and Paul Davidson actually put together an enjoyable script and storyline. It was a nice combination of classic fantasy mixed in with elements of family entertainment. I had somewhat feared that it might have been for a younger audience, but it was actually also enjoyable for an adult audience, especially if you enjoy the fantasy genre.

And the storyline had a nice underlaying message to it, which added to the movie, making it more than just your average family movie.

Director Phil Hawkins actually pulled off the fantasy elements quite nicely in the movie, and I loved the way that the movie portrays the way that the kids see themselves as medieval heroes, and the fact of reality is shown as well. It was a nice blend of genres, and that particular way of showcasing the storyline sat quite well with me. So thumbs up to director Phil Hawkins for that accomplishment.

They had a nice cast ensemble put together for the movie. I was not familiar with anyone in the movie, aside from Gwendoline Christie, whom I was a bit surprised to see showing up on the screen. It should be noted that the acting performances were good, from children and adult actors and actresses alike.

Visually then "Robin and the Hoods" was actually quite a surprise. The effects were good, and they definitely had put a lot of effort into the fantasy aspect of the movie, which was something that I liked a lot and it added a lot to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

"Robin and the Hoods" is a movie that is quite worth taking 100 minutes to sit down and watch with the family. It is a feel-good type of movie.

My rating of director Phil Hawkins's 2024 family fantasy adventure "Robin and the Hoods" lands on a six out of ten stars.
