Oh man. Saw that in the last trailer. Blotted it from my memory immediately afterwards - "nah, I CANNOT have seen THAT?!".
It's really in there? Wooden versions of WWII landing craft? Really?

Went to see it on opening night. Gah what a waste of time. It just went nowhere. Introducing characters then doing nothing, prospects of huge battles and awesome scenes but then falling waaaay short and terrible, terrible "acting".
The costner version is far superior. It's a hollywood blockbuster but no matter how hard they protest this is too.
Did anyone else get the impression that everything was scaled down? Like the battles. Looks like they figured to add some sweeping cg shots but never bothered.

I don't understand the issue with the Costner version. I liked it a lot. It had the spirit of Robin Hood, which this one seems to be sorely lacking.
Screw the spirit of Robin Hood. Sheriff Hans was the best thing that happened during that whole freaking year when that movie was released.
Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
BECAUSE IT'S DULL YOU TWIT! IT'LL HURT MORE!!!!!!!

The Costner film - for me anyway - is like The Patriot. It is one of those films that are always fun to watch, but are never quite as good as you remember or hope for them to be...

And "You, my room, 10 o'clock! You, 10:30... bring a friend."
BTW apparently Crowe had 2 dialect coaches and they both say the 'accent' he's doing is not what they taught him.
Well, listening to this certainly helps matters for warming up to Russel Crowe's Robin Hood. But let's look past the accents which is a definite nono in any conversation.
Crowe: We just took the attitude that whatever you understood or what ever you think you know about Robin Hood, it was a previously understandable mistake.
:confused
So we were mistaken for enjoying Robin Hood by simply not caring about his origins? No. You fail. You fail Crowe, as does everyone who was on board for this movie. If what we thought of Robin Hood was a mistake, I don't want to know what's right, because what you had to offer us was just two and a half hours of nothing but wasted time spent on historic details that I don't give two dredges about.

So basically if you think you like Robin Hood movies and might enjoy this it's a mistake?
For one reason or another, I never got to see this at the cinema. I ordered the director's cut from play, and got it yesterday. Watched it last night big screen.
The Mrs. & I kept on saying to each other - "WTF !!!! You can't do THAT !"
A total sacrilege to the legend.
Maid Marian.
HELLO ????
She's "MAID" Marian for a reason !
Married, my foot !
Alan-a-Dale, Little John, Will Scarlet go to the crusades ????
Oh come off it !
Robin of Loxley is an identity thief ????
:sick :sick :sick :sick :sick :sick :sick
And I could go on, and on ....

LONG LIVE KEVIN COSTNER
Ah well. I had a misguided, nieve hope that the director's cut might make a bit more sense than the theatrical release. Not the case I guess.
I never really cared for Kingdom of Heaven untill the extended cut came out on DVD, now I REALLY enjoy it. The character's are so much richer, all the little extra plots that had to be cut really make an impact on the character delevopment.
I was hoping for a glimpse of that with an extended Robin Hood. Even if that had been the case, there is still NO forgiving the "Normany landings" or the Marion/lostboys joining the battle on ponies.
I might try and watch the Flynn version tonight...
"Why, you speak treason!"
"Fluently."
One of my favourite lines in all of Cinema.
