| User ReviewGary MOne of those movies that you just watch for the amazing actress Katharine Isabelle |
| User ReviewRobert IAn awesome twist for the Robin Hood genre. |
| User ReviewPuggle SInteresting idea, but the scenes were to shortly cut and oddly jumbled. I liked the new take on Marian and her use in the story, and the sheriff could not have been more evil. I would have enjoyed it better without a demon from another world to mess up the story line, but, oh well. Not everything comes my way. |
| User ReviewMichael Kpretty good... definitely different take on Robin Hood though. |
| User ReviewDan VGood retelling of the story with all the major characters. Could have done more with the dragon to stand out as a film. |
| User ReviewIvan BCekajuci novog Robina Hooda igrom slucaja sam nabasao na ovu niskobudzetnu verziju gdje se legendarni junak osim sa klasicnim dusmanima sukobljava sa neakvim ruznim cgi vyvrenom (ili zmajem ili koji god to vrag bio...) i isto tako ruznim cgi vargovima i sve to u nekoj mracnoj sumi do koje je dosao kroz neki medjudimenzionalni portal usred Sherwoodske sume...gluma je malo bolja nego na SS HellCamp-u, a efekti su jeftini cgi ali bez obzira na to ovo sranje me uspjelo zabavit tolko da sam ga uspio odgledat do kraja. Nis posebno. |
| User ReviewBobby LMade for TV Canadian film, that adds a fun, fantastical twist to the classic "Robin Hood" story. There's a brief prologue, which serves to explain why he become the "Robin Hood" we all know. Once we pick back up, a few years later, he's already him, so unlike a lot of the other versions, we skip the becoming, and get straight to the point. Yes, Richard is still off on the crusades, and Nottingham and Prince John are still bastards, but what separates this one from others, magic. Lots of it. From shapeshifting to spell casting, this movie has fun playing up these elements, ones not really seen in this story before. The flying effects look really bad though, which is sad. The dragon never seem to be in the same space as the sky, and/ or the object it's hurling/ being thrown at him. The designs are solid though, and they move fluidly. On ground the dragon does look very good, with a nice amount of detail. Robin Dunne, as Robin Hood, is very good. I find him to be a surprisingly strong actor, even in weak films; see his excellent job in The Skulls 2 to how good he truly can be. Here, he fires an arrow quite well, and makes for a solid leader, which is all that was necessary. Erica Durance as Marian has some really fun bits, and looks good doing it. Katherine Isabelle, most notable for being Ginger the brilliant "Ginger Snaps" trilogy plays Alina, the were-dragon at the heart of the story. She's good, as always, but doesn't have much to do. Sidenote- any time her name is attached to a project, it immediately becomes 110% more awesome. The rest of the cast all do decent jobs, with no standouts though. The sets look pretty good, and the landscape evokes the time period very well. The lighting shifts between good and over/under exposed at times, but it doesn't distract for long. |
| User ReviewJenn TBeing a fan of Robin Hood, Erica Durance and Robin Dunne. I went into this film with mixed expectations. Unlike Robin Hood of legend, this Robin finds himself taking on a giant dragon and dimension hopping. To be perfectly honest, as much as I love the Hood. This movie drug itself out and never really pushed itself to go anywhere. Dunne plays an ok Robin Hood. He's done action and genre work before, but the script doesn't really let him shine as Robin. Durance channels in probably one of the worst British accents I've ever heard. I love her on Smallville and her other lead roles, but here. She just doesn't work as Marian. Don't get me wrong she's got amazing sex appeal and that's one of the key draws to her as Lois Lane and she can handle action, but the script really doesn't do much with her. It's an interesting concept, but even with a low budget. The movie could have been so much more. |
| User ReviewDon SAs a SyFy channel movie, you know that budget is low and consequently, in most cases, acting quality is below average too. I found the acting to be acceptable here, but the CGI was fairly bad. I liked the addition of the creature to the tale of Robin Hood; I feel it gave it a nice twist and a little pop to spark my interest. Decent for what it is. |
| User ReviewJohn BPretty poor. The only saving grace is the excellent Erica Durance. |
