Only in bad/ lazy film making. snoopcester Send a noteboard - 18/05/2010 12:05:30 PM
Modern people don't understand the domestic combat opportunities avialable then, and assume you need to be a foreign combat veteran in order to be a badass. There might also be some notion about needing to pay your dues to king and country before you can rightfully take up arms for your own reasons, and of course, what filmmaker can resist the chance to draw Vietnam & Iraq parallels.


A decent film maker would resist;)

It seems to boil down to you saying he has to go on a ten year crusade to show he is tough and to explain how he gets back to England from France they need to create a 12th Century D-Day. It is depressing that you are making Costner's version sound like a logical, well made film:P

I think I'm going to invade Ridley Scott's backyard with French boats. Makes as much sense. Rebekah - 14/05/2010 06:26:33 PM 741 Views
Yeah well, what's the point in trying to write a balanced and open minded review... ironclad - 15/05/2010 12:41:46 PM 753 Views
It is very, very tough to walk from France to England Cannoli - 15/05/2010 12:51:20 AM 831 Views

If this is an origin story why is Robin Hood being played by a bloated guy in his late 40's? *NM* Marius2000 - 14/05/2010 06:12:04 PM 456 Views
That is an excellent question. *NM* Rebekah - 14/05/2010 06:27:19 PM 350 Views
Ridley Scott <3 Russel Crowe = Gladiator + Arrows *NM* StormCrow - 14/05/2010 07:48:51 PM 374 Views
Because very few people come back from a 10-year crusade in their 20s? *NM* Cannoli - 15/05/2010 12:39:00 AM 354 Views
The Robin Hood as a crusader is an unnecessary modern addition anyway. *NM* snoopcester - 15/05/2010 05:34:31 PM 339 Views
But its necessary to establish his bona fides as a warrior. Cannoli - 15/05/2010 11:42:15 PM 752 Views
