Robin Hood (2018) Movie Review

Robin Hood (2018) Movie Review

The most cringe film of the year

So, the other day I saw the movie Robin Hood, and by Robin Hood I mean the new new one that has just come out in theaters. This movie is bad, it's really bad, and I understand why it's been getting such a low score by other film critics.
This film follows Robin of Loxley, as he is sent to the crusades and then after returning, his house was taken by the Sheriff of Nottingham. So now, with a new friend who was once an enemy, Robin and friends seek to bring about liberation of the people from the oppressive Sheriff and the other evils that plague their town.
Robin Hood seeks to fill some sort of savior complex but the movie sets it up so poorly. I understand that this is a more "fantasy" version of the story, but hot damn they could have at least put a sherd of effort into the blasted thing!
All of the characters were completely and utterly static, even Robin. This movie is trying to be somewhat in the same style as that King Arthur film that came out last year, but has nothing that made that film fun. This movie is such a missed opportunity.
Yet again, unlike the King Arthur film that came out the year before, the music in this film is completely forgettable. It's sad really because from a creative stand point, they could have really done something great.
Oh! Before I forget, character motivations switch like it was nothing, like one second, "Oh I'm the good guy," and then out of the freaking blue, "Ha ha ha, I'm evil," as they rub hands together. Also their are some blatant undertones to modern politics in this film, which would be fine if they didn't do them so lazily.
Would I recommend seeing this movie? Hell no! Save your money and go see a halfway decent film like The Crimes of Grindelwald or a really good film like Outlaw King. This film was such a disappointment right from the trailer.



final score: 2.3/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
