Robin Hood (1973)


An animated fantasy adventure by Wolfgang Reitherman under the Disney corporation.
An outlaw who lives in the forest and steals from the rich to give to the poor overthrows a tyrant and wins the love of the princess.
I wish the plot of the real world worked like this. The animation style was classic Disney with anthropomorphized animals playing the roles of humans. This is one of those hidden i plain view things where if people stand up to the "powerful", the corrupt elite lose their power. I'm rating it adequate because it wasn't as good as I remembered it from my childhood.

Robin Hood (2010)


An action film directed by Ridley Scott.
A crusader returns from crusading and impersonates a dead man when he arrives at where the dead man's sword takes him.
In my line of work, this is what we call crap. They took the Robin Hood character and threw him in the blender with some violence and bad camera-work. This is the dook-smoothie that came out. It's 2 and a half hours long and the plot was worse than some films that are half the length. I prefer the Disney version and Men in Tights over this. Obviously, I didn't like it.
