Critic Reviews

Variety - Owen Gleiberman

Nov 20, 2018

Robin Hood is no classic, but if it sometimes seems like it’s trying to be “Baz Luhrmann’s Robin Hood,” more power to it. The movie is a diverting live-wire lark — one that, for my money, gets closer to the spirit of what Robin Hood is about than the logy 1991 Kevin Costner version or the dismal 2010 Russell Crowe version.

The action is violent and improbable but not staged with particular pizazz. Read full review

You could build a suspension bridge over the gap between what Robin Hood could have been and what it is. Its hero is credible as a man who wants to rob from the rich and give to the poor, but the storytelling is so impoverished that the message can't stick. Read full review

Empire - Dan Jolin

Nov 20, 2018

Like Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur, this tries hard to do something new and exciting with an old formula. It quickly makes you wish for something more traditional and straightforward. Read full review

The New York Times - Glenn Kenny

Nov 20, 2018

The plot is twisty in a perfunctory way, the action predictably explosive, the sought-after exhilaration nonexistent. Read full review

Consequence of Sound - Dominick Suzanne-Mayer

Nov 21, 2018

There’s nothing particularly memorable about Robin Hood even when you’re laughing at it, and that may be one of the saddest fates a movie can meet. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy

Nov 20, 2018

Mendelsohn's villain is boringly one-note, Eve Hewson's Marion uses an incongruous Yank accent and always looks as though she's just stepped out of the makeup trailer, F. Murray Abraham swans around in fancy cardinal's vestments looking sinister and Foxx seems pissed off that he's not somewhere, perhaps anywhere, else. As for Egerton, he's a boy doing a man's job.

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say this is a bad movie. THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's like if a critic says a movie is bad everyone wants to follow suit instead of taking this movie for what it really is, which is really REALLY good. I absolutely LOVED thisI can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say this is a bad movie. THE MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's like if a critic says a movie is bad everyone wants to follow suit instead of taking this movie for what it really is, which is really REALLY good. I absolutely LOVED this movie. The movie flowed, it catches you're attention from start to finish, you are on the edge of your seat. It starts with romance which continues into a story line that grabs your attention with war and tragedy to hope. HOPE! Go......See.....This.....Movie! You will not regret it. Action packed, moving and very entertaining.… Expand

This is definitely better than the last Robin Hood movie done by Ridley Scott. The storyline is well done incorporating the crusades into the movie. The downfall for me was the fact that they shouldn't have introduced Maid Marian into the movie or have Robin have another love interest.

A lot of talent and high production design are well-managed here. One of few films to have three good villains, able to keep them well-employed and not confuse the audience.

One of few films to have three good villains, able to keep them well-employed and not confuse the audience. "Boy sent to do a man's job" describes Taron Egerton but he's not awful. He, Jamie Fox, F. Murry Abramson and the rest all muster admirable AAA conviction in their portrayal of timeworn characters. I think the main issue is cultural timing. Robin Hood resonates with the Yellow Vests in France. Inequality of the rich is a growing issue in teh US. Does a nascent people's revolt appear imminent in the US? The US revolt seems likely to be slower and more ballot-box-oriented than fighting in the streets as revolution in Robin Hood is portrayed. The two seemingly unknown screenwriters inject some welcome novelty into the old Robin Hood tropes (please ignore all the anachronisms, including Ben Mendelsohn, who also is doing his best). Without more resonance with the present Progressive political moment, the movie comes across as a very excellent television effort.… Expand

That is the greatest sin of all. What was, by all accounts from the trailer, a fun action adventure instead felt like a slog that makes you feel every agonizing second of its two hour runtime. Maybe if a good 20 or 30 minutes were chopped off then it could have been a dumb film going at such breakneck speed that it would be easy to overlook its issues. It is painful and it reminds me once again why the only Robin Hood movie worth watching is Men in Tights.… Expand

Yes, It's surprisingly as awful as critics made it out to be. And it's not just bad, It's dreadfully boring and doesn't even remotely entertain.
