Summer Movies: Robin Hood

Summer movies already begin on May 2010! Start with Iron Man 2 that smash new box office around the world. But, I must say, it was oke...not blow my mind out, just oke. Well, let's talk about new movie: Robin Hood.

In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

"Robin Hood" chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard's army against the French. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

Russel Crowe as Robin & Cate Blanchett as Marion can bring audience emotion with their act (of course with typical of Ridley Scott, Director of Gladiator & up coming movie The A Team). So, come to the theater, buy popcorn & cold drinks, sit back & relax, enjoy the movie, enjoy the story & enjoy the emotion of the players.
