When I hear Crowe and Ridley Scott say how they want to distance Robin Hood from the feathers in his hat and the green outfits, and the Merry Men, and all of the things that make it Robin Hood, I wonder "why make a Robin Hood movie?"
He's not a historical figure that needs an accurate portrayal. He's a legend.
It's like that King Arthur movie that said "We want to make a King Arthur movie that doesn't have any of the bits of the King Arthur mythos that make it the King Arthur mythos."
I'll see the film, and it will probably be pretty good, but does the world need a grim, gritty, realistic Robin Hood?
