The film takes place in the late 12th Century in England and Robin Hood has returned to his village after fighting in the Third Crusade. Robin uses his intelligence and military skills to free his village of tyranny and take back what is rightfully is his. Robin must also win the affection of the recently widowed Lady Marian (Cate Blanchett) while leading his Merry Men of Sherwood Forest to victory. This movie was below average at best, it was slow, long, and forgettable. The film was written by Ethan Reiff, Cyrus Voris, and Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland, writer of "L.A. Confidential", "Mystic River", and "Man on Fire". The only two things I liked in the movie was that fact that it was funny and its music score by Marc Streitenfeld.
