*SPOILERS*
A prequel to the legend, in which Robin, after having fought in the Crusades with king Richard, must fight against the French who, thanks to a conspiracy between the new king's secretary and the French king, are ready to invade England.
A horrible movie. There is hardly an enjoyable moment in it. (Well, perhaps a shot or two of some beautiful woods.) The plot is downright unappealing (and at times makes little or no sense), told in the pace that kills (of boredom), with characters I couldn't care less for. Among the "pearls", in random order: Robin feels bad about the slaughter of poor Muslim children; Marian fights as a soldier; Robin, who was an abandoned child, has a "feeling" he will find out about his origins in Nottingham, and bingo: he does, and his father was an important chap too; the bad guys, who are in a national plot, choose to chase after Robin in Nottingham, who by then has little or no bearing on said plot; probably more stuff, but I don't want to go on recollecting.
