This movie is bad, but I do not regret watching it because it is not tiresome at any point. It starts off great, with interesting plot development and good action scenes. The creators had an interesting idea of how to "put a new spin" on the story of Robin Hood.
As the story progresses some plot points are introduced trough a back door, which turn out to be relevant towards the end of the movie. In my opinion the entire story changes its flavor in this way. Robin is forced into a role of deliverer of the entire nation, something like William Wallace in the movie "Braveheart". But this only seems slightly out of place and the movie does well until the last half an hour.
The way in which the movie culminates is terrible in my opinion. The movie is transformed into a sort of an unintentional comedy. The makers of the film, completely awkwardly and obviously mix motives from different films. The way in which this was done can only be regarded as a comedy relief! Everything culminates in a final showdown and a big battle, because nothing less could sell probably. Needles to say that Robin plays the central role and everybody else bows to his might. Only so that the storyline twists once again at the very end, bringing us to "how Robin Hood came to be".
To sum up: movie starts very good as an action pass-time but as it progresses, the story is totally forced and even comical. As if the creators had an idea of how to start the movie, but not how to finish it.
