Movie Pick'Ums: Robin Hood

[DirtyKash]

Robin Hood opens this week in 3,400+ theatres. This remake looks interesting if only because Ridley Scott and Russ Crowe team up again; we know what genius they were able to achieve with Gladiator. Also, there's a guy named "Kevin Durand" in this movie, not to be confused with the NBA superstar Kevin Durant. Opening one week after the Iron Man 2 giant, no one knows what to expect. The battle of the box office is on!



ROBIN HOOD

Director: Ridley Scott
Stars: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Matthew Macfadyen, William Hurt
Studio: Universal PicturesThe Plot: The story of an expert archer (Crowe) who travels to the town of Nottingham toward the end of the 12th century, where the acts of a despotic sheriff (Macfadyen) and the presence of a beautiful widow (Blanchett) inspire him to assemble a gang of mercenaries bent on raiding the upper class as a way to correct the sheriff's injustices.

I'll reserve full judgment until I see it but I just can't picture Crowe as Robin Hood, though I have been wrong before about actors matching roles. I am more interested in seeing it for Macfadyen.
