1/10     The word to describe this sounds like "Fish" but starts with a P  :D

The acting was like eastenders acting, crap  and the sets were the most tacky I have ever seen

When I was at School,  a bunch of about twenty of us made a short 20 minute Vampire movie.  In my honest opinion , the acting in our movie was better than Robin Hood

British actors these days are so bad, they are all like soap actors.  Dr Who had terrible acting, but at least the scripts were watchable. Robin Hood was complete naff

The guy playing Robin Hood looked like he would be more suited to hanging round a chippy on a Saturday night

Agreed.  Utter rubbish, paid for by us.

Robin Hood steals from those that can afford it..... and gives it to the BBC.

I hated the Kung Fu style sword fighting and the servant sounded posher than Robin Hood  :D


The original story had Robin Hood as a posh kind of fella and he had a servant who wasn't posh.  There was no divide in this and both sounded the same.  I don't know if this is due to today's drive for equality and a break down of the class barriers. In things like Robin Hood, that is part of the fairy tale

Such a disappointment - I'm 100% behind a public broadcaster, but it makes it difficult when they waste our money on rubbish like this.

Peculiar mix of accents as well

Reminded me of Dr. Who in tights, turned over after 25mins.

exactly, that is what I was trying to say.  You just did it better .    The accents seem to be from everywhere.  In the 12th century this wouldn't happen .  People rarely moved around, perhaps the wealthy did, but not your average person

Is the licence fee now outdated?

I like a few things on the BBC but I generally watch the SKY channels.  I'd put up with adverts if general free view TV was actually free.

did not even look like Robin Hood :D

Is this the one with Kevin Costner???

cos your a bit late mate, this Flopped about 12 years ago did it not?

The sad thing is this probably cost alot of money to make.   Whenever I see a British TV show I always wonder where they found the actors from.  I suspect they spot them in a train station and ask them if they fancy playing the part of Robin Hood.   

I was having this discussion the other night with a mate who is pro British actors. He loves people like Ross Kemp and thinks they are equal with the actors from things like LOST and 24.  I am not convinced.  I remember a movie I saw with Ross Kemp called Spartacus. When I saw he was in it, I made a bet with the person I was watching it with that he would say  "you scummmm" at some point.  His first lines after appearing on screen was " You scummm".  I almost fell off my chair laughing. I will always remember that  :D


lol,  I have just realised if I was a film critic, I would be sacked after 25 minutes for slagging off everything  :D

^_^ The guy who plays Robin Hood I went to school with.

If anyone else remembers the crossroads remake a girl from my school was also in that ( she was HOT - blonde, curvy :D ).

Both shall never be heard of again.

I thought it was great, watched it with the kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
About time we had some watchable early evening tv that wasn't american.
I thought Maid marion was a bit plain though.

I went to the same school as Grahame Obree the cyclist.  He was there about 10 years before me and used to live in the village along the road.  His cycle shop is still there

I never watched Crossroads, was it a good series?

you wouldn't be able to understand 12th century English mate, barely recognisable as the same language. Chaucer is hard enough work and that was 250 years later.

I thought it was alright for what it was. harmless family entertainment. to right off "British Actors" based on unknown TV family drama performances seems a bit daft. Looking forward to Ray Winstones new series, VINCE for example. that'll be very well performed.

re-reading your post, yuo didnt say that did you. you were just commenting on your average soap actor. point taken then

Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my original post.  I meant soap actors.  There are alot of great British actors like Patrick Stewart, Ray Winstone is good, Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewall(sp?) , Ian Mckellan, etc.  I meant the people out of Eastenders, The Bill and soaps like that.  I think Robin Hood is on a par with that sort of stuff.  For the cost, I would have expected abit more from it

It was some tosh commisioned by the Beeb dave.

Careful, you might annoy some of the residents with comments like that!!!



:D :D :D :D :D

Okay okay I'll stop stirring :D

I take back all comments made earlier   :D










































soap actors are crap though

I thought it was okay, given that it was aimed at kids/teens.

Eureka

What? this film smacked it!!! blinding film!

I liked the film very much .  I saw it a couple of times at the cinema

I don't think so. What they tried to make it was Robin Hood in the style of Hustle or Spooks, but the director they used for this couldn't do it.

In fairness this might not be the directors fault, the writing and acting were both dire, but in truth I think the combination of the 3 was what made it so lame overall.

It might still take off - they used multiple directors and writers for the series so it could still improve, but I don't think that saying it's only aimed at kids/teens fully excuses its awfulness.

Well I quite enjoyed it, but these things are subjective.

Hustle was good, I hope that comes back

i agree my kids really enjoyed it.we live in nottingham and my 4 year old daughter kept saying that doesnt look like town,lol.
