Scott has said he doesn't really like any of the previous movie versions of the story, so I think we can expect something different. I'm guessing - and hoping for - a grittier story and more complex Hood.

Don't forget Master and Commander! Crowe did a great job in that one. Kingdom of Heaven was a pretty highly-criticised medieval movie, though, and that makes me nervous.Bruce N H wrote:Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally, Golly what a day.

Watch this.

And if Prince John isn't potrayed by a light-brown version of the Pink Panther who likes to suck his thumb, then it will undermine Crowe's performance.That song is pretty catchy.
How many here have seen the 30's Robin Hood?
So Pellinore, you like Kingdom of Heaven? Are you a jr. high girl who showed up to see Orlando Bloom?Just kidding, I am sure that it had some good scenes and actors, it's just that the reviews I read weren't that good.

Yes, I have seen the Errol Flynn version of the movie and it is my personal favorite. I like classic movies. I happen to agree with Wobbie that this movie has a lot of potential. I love the Disney version also. There is even a made for tv version with Uma Thurman that I also like. There is much to be said about a GOOD Robin Hood movie. Unforunately, I don't consider the Kevin Costner movie to be a great Robinhood movie. It has its moments. It has its great parts, it has great actors (not all of them were), it even has a great song but it just doesn't compare to the original. Errol Flynn IS Robinhood for me. He's perfect in that role. Will Crow pull off the same dashing role? I think he will make the role his own, which is fine. Yes, I am looking forward to it.So Pellinore, you like Kingdom of Heaven?

That is both rude and disrespectful. It doesn't matter if you were attempting to be funny, it is not.
I'm mildly optimistic.
