Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchette star in this new multi million dollar take on the story of middle ages English folk hero Robin Hood. After the highly disappointing Kevin Costner effort of the 1990's (you know, Bryan Adams sang the theme tune !), this looks to be action packed - but it will interesting to see if the makers have managed to retain any of the charm of the story or buried it under a hoard of choreographed sword fights and blood letting.
It's due to open in Australia on May 13th so we'll know more then - for now, I am particularly looking forward to seeing Matthew Macfadyen's take on the evil and corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham - he will do well to match Alan Rickman or Nickolas Grace from television versions but hopefully can add something to role ...
I'll be checking it out on or soon after release and will report back ...
