Here is My Movie Review of Robin Hood 2018

 


Here is My Movie Review of Robin Hood 2018 



So basically what happens is that you have Robin hood who is this outlaw his deals from the rich and give to the pore of Nottingham and the town is run by the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham so it's up to Robin Hood and Little  John to take down the Sheriff of  Nottingham and And rescue his girlfriend Marion and that's basically what the storyline is for this film. I have to say the storyline in this movie is really planned and really uninteresting because nothing happens. In fact this reminded me a lot of King Arthur Legend of The Sword but the difference being with that film the storyline was well rushed and at least it was interesting. 




Now the acting in this movie is terrible except for one performance but most of the acting is really terrible either they are just going through the motions or they are just going way to on the top I will say that this film is up there with Terminal as one of the worst acted films of 2018 because with that film most of the actors were really bad in that film they are just  gave really bland and uninteresting performances.





Taron Entertain plays Robin hood in the film. Now I will say out of all the performances in this film here's the least terrible because I feel like he was the only actor that's actually trying to give a good performance. I think for the most part he does a decent job as the character. Also I can tell that he was having a lot of fun playing the character. But the character of Robin hood is so boring because he doesn't really have a character. The only reason why he is trying to take down the sheriff is because of Marion and that's it that is the whole reason why he is doing that it's just a really bland and very uninteresting character Arc. The scene where Robin hood leads his team into battle during the climax of the film just was not interesting and it felt like it was ripping off the climax from Avengers Infinity War but the difference being that that climax had higher stakes and it was actually amazing. But in this filming that comes off really bland and uninteresting. It's probably the most uninteresting moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jamie Foxx, Evan Hewson and Ben Mendelsohn is decent. 



Jamie Foxx plays Little John in this film and his performance was just really dull and really bland and the accent he puts on was just so awkward and weird. Now the character of Little John is just really boring and not interesting because he said there to follow Robin hood around and that's it he's about to be his mentor and best friend and that is all he does in this entire film. The scene where Lil Jon gets captured by the sheriff it's supposed to be this really intense and emotional moment. But I didn't feel anything because the character is so boring and just not an entertaining character to be honest. I felt more bad for Magneto in X-Men first class where he had to watch his mother be killed by one of Sebastian  Shaw's henchmen in the beginning of the film. But with this I didn't feel anything, it's just one. It comes off as a cheap way to manipulate the audience into feeling something for a character that is not interesting. The chemistry between him and Tearon Entertain  is okay. 




 Evan Hewson Plays Marian In the film her performance just comes off really really dull and really uninteresting because she's barely in the movie so the script doesn't really give her much to work with And it just felt like she was sleepwalking throughout this entire film. But the character of Marian Is Nothing because all she is  the love interest for Robin hood, that's all she is there to do, she doesn't do anything. Did I really develop that the character she essentially is a nothing character. The scene where Marion is reunited with Robin hood is just really weird and not that interesting because the two characters don't have any chemistry in this film whatsoever so it's probably one of the most filler heavy moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Taren Edgerton Is okay. 





Now will I said that the acting is really bad that is nothing and I mean nothing compared to the worst performance in the entire film and that is from Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham Now to say this guy gives a bad performance that is plant lightly he is terrible as this character he is just overacting he's just going over the top for no reason. It is probably his worst performance of all time and what's really disappointing is that Ben Mendelsohn is a terrific actor. If you  watch Ready Player one where he plays Nolan Sorrento who is way better written and entertaining villain compared to this character. Or if you saw him in Mississippi Grind he also gives a really excellent performance in that film. Now well I said the performance was really terrible that nothing compare to the character of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he is just a generic and just a really horrible going with no personality and his motivations are just so bad and so uninterested because all he want to do is kill Robin hood for no reason and to be honest I didn't really care for him when you first see him in the film. But where he ends up going in the third act was. I was completely done with this character. It is the dumbest thing that you'll ever see in a film. Not to mention there are multiple themes of the Sheriff of Nottingham  just screaming his head off and you're supposed to take it seriously but due to Ben Mendelsohn's horrible performance you just simply can't. To be completely honest King Vorigern from King Arthur Legend of The Sword is a way better villain because when Jude Law went over the top as that character but it was really funny and he gave a much better performance than Ben Mendelson does in the film. The scene where the Sheriff of Nottingham dies was just not that interesting and it's where the boring and uninteresting though and deaths for a film and is of there with Kures died in Thor The Dark World at one the most uninteresting villain deaths of all time. It is probably one of the most uninteresting scenes of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Taren Edgerton is decent. 




But the worst thing about this entire film in the directing by Otto Bathurst because it doesn't feel like you understands the character of Robin hood because he thinks that Robin hood is like the Punisher because he kills a lot of people in this film but that's not what the character is at all the character of Robin Hood is About to be this outlaw who protects people and cares for them. But with this interpretation they just make him a killer for no reason. Also for some reason when he Should the action sequences It feels like he's trying to be like Zack Snyder with Having the action shot in slow motion and it does not work at all. So overall I think he did not do a great job directing this film at all in fact he just makes this movie essentially a mess because you don't know what is going on with the story. 




So in conclusion I really hate the film The Storyline is not interesting in fact it was the dumbest storylines of 2018. I will say that Ant-Man The Wasp had a way better storyline because it was not as dumb  as the storyline in this film because at least with that film it was nice and simple and fun to follow. You don't really care about what's happening in the storyline. The performances are nearly just really bad except for Taren Edgerton It just felt like he was the only actor who knew what he was doing. By far the worst performance in this entire movie was Ben Mendelson as the sheriff of Nottingham because all his performance consisted of was just him screaming like a lunatic and you're supposed to take it this way but due to Ben Mendelsohn's awful dialogue you can't. I'm going to say that the Sheriff of Nottingham is up there with Kro from the Eternals as one of the worst villains of all time. To be completely honest I would rather watch Jude Law as Vortigern from King Arthur Legend of The Sword because at least he was memorable for all the right reasons and you can actually tell that Jude Law had a lot of fun in the film. I think this film is up there with Flower as one of the worst films of 2018. This is easily in my top 3 worst films of 2018. I say just skip this movie and go watch Ready Player One because that film actually has a better storyline and Ben Mendelsohn gives a way better villain performance than he did in this film. I give this movie a 1/10.
