press"Robin Hood" is no classic, but if it sometimes seems like it's trying to be "Baz Luhrmann's Robin Hood," more power to it.

The Telegraph
pressMendelsohn is far down the Christoph Waltz Alley of must-we-again villainy by this stage... For his own good and ours, he needs to be firmly refused access to any despot's podium for the rest of time.

The New York Times
pressThe plot is twisty in a perfunctory way, the action predictably explosive, the sought-after exhilaration nonexistent.

The Guardian
pressThis bloated, featureless, CGI-heavy movie is not so much stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, as stealing from Guy Ritchie, Batman, Two-Face and a few others - and not giving back all that much to the audience.

Stuff
pressThere are some superb set-pieces, a lot of pretty well choreographed fights and battles, and just enough story to hang it all together.

Screen Daily
pressGrimly upbeat rather than merry, and relentless rather than frenetic, the film's gritty zest is splashed across the screen with momentum, but also to the point of overuse.

Hollywood Reporter
pressIn a just world, everyone involved in this mess would be required to perform some sort of public penance.

Empire Magazine
pressLike Guy Ritchie's King Arthur, this tries hard to do something new and exciting with an old formula. It quickly makes you wish for something more traditional and straightforward.
