Robin Hood (film) - 2010

After wondering about what I would like to write, I decided do it about something that I love: movies. Humbly, I am going to give my personal opinion at my posts.

I have to confess that I am practically addicted about movies. Seriously! However I don’t like scary ones or something near it.

I have to do analogy comparing my country and here (Perth, city that I am living actually) before I start to writing about the movie. It is amazingly different going out here than in Brazil. Only as an example, in Brazil you need to leave your house at least one hour before cinema sessions begins, otherwise there are a huge probability of you miss it. Reasons? Traffic, crowded parking lots and crowded cinemas. Ok Brazil we have nearly 190 million people, in Sao Paulo, capital, almost 13 million. Here in Perth around 1.7 million and I need to leave my house, 10 minutes before session begins.

To begin with, last movie that I saw was Robin Hood, the new version starring Russel Crowe. I have to confess that before to watch the movie, I didn’t hear absolutely anything about it and I thought myself: it is “another” version telling the same history about Robin Hood already watched in other ones.

Well, surprising the movie show up other story, in fact, a story before Robin Hood being an outlaw. Therefore, I have to agree with Dan Mecca, a famous movie reviewer, in his review “In defense of Robin Hood”. Certainly the biggest problem is the title of the movie, because the history doesn’t tell us about the Robin Hood that “took from the rich and gave to the poor.”

Despite some negative reviews, I liked it and stayed a taste of more hovered in the air.

The most funny are some reviews complaining about Crowe accent. Sometimes Irish accent, sometimes Scottish accent. Honestly, my English want to improve a lot to catch these variations.

To conclude, I recommend this movie nonetheless, you need change your mind before you think that you are going to watch a traditional Robin Hood. Have fun!
