Cinema Blend:
Robin Hood is being aggressively sold to audiences as a kind of Gladiator follow-up, and yeah, a few of the details are right-- Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott's names, for one, plus some grayscale battle sequences, a wronged man fighting for justice, and lots and lots of clanging swords. But everything about Gladiator that elevated it from cheesy potboiler to something kind of great is lost in Robin Hood, a very long, very noisy epic without an ounce of adventure in it.
