An aging Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman) is tired of his “heroic” past. He tries to live a reclusive life and finally pass away, but he just can’t seem to do it. Much to Robin’s misfortune and annoyance, Little John (Bill Skarsgård) is in trouble, and the gang has to get back to their old ways.
One of the biggest and most notable strengths is, of course, the acting. Everyone knows what to expect from Hugh Jackman, but Bill Skarsgård (the clown from *It*) was unrecognizable!
The film effectively conveys a dark and mysterious atmosphere. It features many authentic 15th-century proverbs, old songs, and period slang. This also adds significantly to the overall impact. In its original version, the film will be of particular interest to linguists and those with a high level of English.
It’s worth noting the fresh take on the story. The legend and the film differ. The character is reimagined in a more realistic and less heroic light. Finally, Robin Hood looks like a real person.
The film has a very gritty feel. The second half of the story becomes less violent, but there are still some harsh scenes here and there. For those who are easily disturbed, the key is to get through the beginning.
The beginning of the story contrasts sharply with the end. But this is done intentionally to show the character’s inner state and transformation. There are distant parallels with *Gladiator* in the climax.
The film is brutal, dark, and romanticizes death.
