Robin Hood

This is somewhat of a hybrid prequel, made in 2010. Not sure I know the 'traditional' legend by heart but I think they've taken some liberties with the story.

Good performances by Russell Crowe (whom I'm starting to like a lot, see my review on A Good Year), Cate Blanchett (Lord of the Rings trilogy), William Hurt (The Big Chill), Max von Sydow (1970's films: Three Days of the Condor and The Exorcist), and Eileen Atkins (What a Girl Wants). Critics thought there wasn't enough action but Crowe - Blanchett's interaction is fun to watch. And I liked the subtext of a coming Magna Carta (a very important 800 year old document in our western democratic legal system... but I digress).

A good rental that I would watch again.
