  Today I'll be checking out the new Robin Hood movie starring Russel Crowe.  I'm not a big fan of his, didn't really care for Gladiator.
  
  But I like Ridley Scott as a director and I enjoy medieval war flicks, so hopeful it won't be too terrible.

  We had about 30-40 minutes left on the flick when we had to bounce outta the theater. We went in my buddies car and he was on call for work and got called in, has to drive 3 hours to Albany NY to check on a problem (he works for a company that supplies and maintains medical equipment for hospitals)
  
  It was good up until that point though, things were starting to ramp up and we probably missed all the cool battle scenes.
  
  I'd say it was good but not great. Plenty of standard movie cliche's and lines that seemed copied from other flicks, including the "you smell" line from the Kevin Costner Robin Hood flick.
  
  Can't really do a full review without seeing the whole thing though :(

  Yeah, it was super cliche in a number of spots, which I'm not a huge fan of (i.e. be a little more original Hollywood). Kinda upset I missed what were likely the cool battle scenes at the end, but I'm sure I'll catch em sometime

  It was really good in my opinion. Not over-hyped at all. The last battle scene was amazing, and the fact that the theater I go to just put amazing sound systems in all of the theaters, made it 10x better.

  Yeah.  Ridley Scott movies are like that if you ask me.

  Damn, and I had to miss the last battle scene, grrrrr!
  
  My buddy got to the place in NY and there was nothing wrong with the machine, so that was a waste of a trip (although I guess he gets time and a half for being on-call and gets paid immediately when the call comes in, so he's getting something like $40/hr mostly for the driving time there and back!)
