Wow, the original idea they had for "Nottingham" sounds awesome.
Sounds like executive meddling at its worst. What a disappointment.
Nice work this week, Bob. Did you get a new microphone? Your voice sounds a lot more crisp and clear.

Had a feeling this was going to be a dull Robin Hood movie. Rather watch Prince of Thieves again... or Men in Tights. Thanks for confirming for me MovieBob.
And Yay finally mentioned HTTYD! Of course it great for a Dreamworks movie, Ex-Disney Lilo and Stitch creators and directors did it. Oh wait you said it was okay for Dreamworks....Meh I'll take it.
BTW you guys in Northeast US have weird sandwiches
.... want to try one now.

ok when movieBob said fluffer nutter I thought he was talking about something completely different...

I know what a fluffernutter is, but it still sounds dirty.
Anyways, I figured that Robin Hood would be crap simply due to the "Untold Story" tagline they keep throwing out. Of course it's untold you idiots, you just made it up! Nah, Crow is too old, the story looked too uninteresting, and this reviews seals the deal. Not worth even a rental.
Kingdom of Heaven was cool though.

I was intriqued by the idea of a movie with the Sherif of Nottingham as the good guy but I was put off when this idea was dropped, I've never really had much interest in this movie because now that the only interesting aspect of it is gone I don't see what I'll get from this that I haven't already gotten from the various versions of the Robin Hood story already made.
MY personal favorite version of Robin Hood was that one:
ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES with Kevin Costner Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman!

Now I have to go buy me some marshmallow paste and try one of those.
Also I find it sad when movie makers throw out interesting ideas because it's to "different" from what is main stream, and thus a risk financially. I'm not sure if that's what happened here, but it sounds like it.

*runs off to find the Director's Cut of "Kingdom of Heaven"*
Seriously though, I wasn't exactly feeling the hype for this movie. I mean, I grew up in the Kevin Costner and "Men in Tights" era, so I was mostly groaning and thinking "can't they think of anything *new*?" The Robin Hood story's been done to death, and I was actually surprised to find out in this video that they actually did try to do something new. Too bad it doesn't seem to be worthwhile...
Oh, and what's a fluffer nutter? =D

the british accent is sexy, id know, i am one!
but i knew this would happen, theyve have about 12 robin hoods, all of which have battles, as opposed to guirella warfare. in fact, why do the fight the government? they rob the ich and give to the poor, the governmentchases them, why do they want to overthrow the government
why not a modern day version, where sherwood forest is a run down estate after militant rule becomes enforced? the "merry" men run here after ambushing guys that have riot shields and batons, and disappear amid the ruined buildings?
the lead politician involved? John King. the chief of police? Rick Nottingham
this actually sounds quite good, im going to write this down...

The ONLY good Robin Hood movie, excluding the parts of Prince of Thieves with Alan Rickman in, is Men in Tights.
it was hilarious indeed...Psychophilia said:
there's an old french serie called THIERRY LA FRONDE which is somekind of RobinHood fighting against British occupants of northern regions of France:
here's a trailer

and there's the full music theme that went in all episodes...

made in the 60's with all the groovy instruments...
Wait a moment...the last couple of seconds lost me...Is Fluffernutter some sort of sexual euphemism?
I said to go watch how to train you're dragon. But Noooooo. You went off and watched this instead and ended up not enjoying it. If the whole world listened to me, the world would be a better place.
