The human mind is something tricky. Without memory or at least some thinking we tend nowadays to shout our lungs out to be heard, seen, and touched in some way, however, effortless, we shout without listening to our own scream.
This is the best version of Robin Hood. Taken away all the romanticism as much as possible we are left with the new age of revelation. To prove it, first, we can cite movies like Batman Begins and Dark Knight, which are psychologically charged in Maquiavellic ways such as works like V for Vendetta and Watchmen by Alan Moore. So I should correct myself stating that this is not just a new age of revelation, it is actually Alan Moore's Era. Whoever watched The Mindscape of Alan Moore will agree, this is the time where the ignorant can no longer survive unless he becomes aware of the real world and take it into his own hands, and hopefully not leave it adrift.
In the film there are some points that could been explored differently, however, if one compares all the previous works adapted to screen of the tales of Robin Hood, or Batman, one could realize the similarities with the evolution of the ignorant, or the wanderer, I should say, which is the majority of the public, including myself in some ways.
The bad things in the film are the dialogs between Robin and Marian. The best ones are done by Von Sidow. And Crowe, despite the Irish accent, does one single appearance in the screen when he recalls his Gladiator character and tells the King what a King really is, and coming from an Australian to an English King, I say: good job Russel! The camera work is superb, the editing is perfect, the script holds the film's balance, and it never jeopardizes the main result.
The reason why this film is somewhat underrated here at IMDb is because the main audiences expected Gladiator 2, sorry, this is the same director, actor, etc, except it comes with an upgrade: Robin Hood is not Spartacus, nor Braveheart, somewhat it has a life of its own.
My vote is 7.9 (8)

Matheus Nachtergaele is known as a superb and a most complete actor, and now as he sits behind the cameras in his directorial debut, a good feeling comes out of this experience: we want more! Definitely, the film has some highs and lows, but overall he delivers the message and still wets our appetite for he chooses an excellent story and the perfect landscape that mixes perfectly all plurality of Brazilian's multicultural backgrounds. The images blend water and oil magically; however, one might feel that there could be some exaggerations in some of the acting, and some long pauses in the script, which might slow things down in very few moments. In sum, I believe to be a great debut, and this new director deserves all possible attention now, and I hope, in a brief future as well. Beautiful work Matheus!
