The Gladiator version- Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott, back together for a movie far inferior to the one that made the pairing famous. Or perhaps the Magna Carta version. I don’t know. It wasn’t a bad movie, and there was the “twist” that it was really just a prequel to the Robin Hood legend. (Knowing this won’t ruin the movie for you, trust me.)
It was pretty, I’ll give you that. And I never complain about Cate Blanchett. But overall, it took itself too seriously, almost like it was trying to be the Braveheart version. I’ll stick with Errol Flynn.
