Review Robin Hood (2018)

Is it just me, or does it look like Robin has borrowed his jacket from one of THE ROBOTS OF DEATH?

I suspect RUBBISH HOOD will be this year's......

Is it just me, or does it look like Robin has borrowed his jacket from one of THE ROBOTS OF DEATH?

Now you have pointed that out, I know I will never be able to see this outfit in any other way!!

The costume at 28 seconds really pulled me out of the picture. Just not of the era. I thought it was a Weyland Yutani meeting!

And has Robin lived his entire life moving and flying around in slow motion? How are they going to explain this peculiar phenomenon?

It looks like the sort of costume you'd expect to see Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg wearing at a high society event.

Faring less well is the new “Robin Hood” which is aiming for a $14-17 million opening over the five-day holiday, the last “Robin Hood” film was 2010’s Ridley Scott-Russell Crowe version which opened to a stronger $36 million over three days.

Where Robin Hood steals from the rich to give to the poor, this Robin Hood story will only steal your time better spent doing something else.

Guy Ritchie's insufferable King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is John Boorman's Excalibur by comparison. Fortunately, Robin Hood is a whole 10 minutes shorter.

This bloated, featureless, CGI-heavy movie is not so much stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, as stealing from Guy Ritchie, Batman, Two-Face and a few others - and not giving back all that much to the audience.

......the Taron Egerton-led “Robin Hood” which pulled in $3.4 million on Friday, not even making the Top 5, and is expected to end up below $14 million for its opening weekend – not good for a film with a $100 million budget.

“Robin Hood” Is 2018’s Biggest Blockbuster Bomb





With its $14 million five-day opening (and just $9.1 million from Friday through Sunday) against a budget of just under $100 million, Lionsgate’s recently released “Robin Hood” adaptation has already emerged as the biggest blockbuster bomb of 2018 reports The Wrap.

With a global launch of just $22.8 million by the end of its first five days, the film had the worst start for any film this year with a budget of $90 million or higher and looks to be on track to be the biggest flop of this kind since last year’s decidedly more costly $175 million epic “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” and to a lesser extent Disney’s gaudy $120 million “Nutcracker and the Four Realms” earlier this month.

Overseas isn’t saving the film either, the movie’s home in the UK only pulled in $1.7 million in its opening weekend. The movie’s failure also marks another blow for Lionsgate which is down by 54% from last year following disappointments like “Kin” and “The Spy Who Dumped Me”. It is, however, in a better position in early 2019 with new Madea, Hellboy and John Wick movies on the way.
