Maybe...OK,will do!.
The feeling I got 10yrs ago was,forgive me if I am wrong,but it was the first of the 'teen angst' movies (Twilight and loads more followed)....And I come from a generation/background that dealt with 'teen angst' with a completely different attitude than they did 10yrs ago,let alone today!....Meaning,when I was a teen,you act up,you get a kick in off your dad/stepdad,who in my case,was most happy to oblige! (he really was!...LOL!).
Maybe thats why I didnt 'get it'?????
My personal favourite take on the Robin Hood legend is the 80's TV series,'Robin of Sherwood',as for a movie version,'Robin and Marian' with Sean Connery perhaps?...The last film I watched was....'The Adventures of Robin Hood', starring Errol Flynn.

Why? Well me and a couple of mates were discussing over a pint and a vape, how Hollywood with such regularity can take a good story and yet make a shit film, in this case Robin Hood - and loads of shit versions. This one however is the best. The number one. By miles!! It's quite sad when the second best Robin Hood film is a piss-take - no, no, not the Costner one, Men in Tights.
Putting Robin Hood to one side for the moment, the other film 'character' franchises that got an airing were Superman / Spiderman / Batman. The general consensus here was, why all the re-boots? I mean do the Waynes / Uncle Ben / Krypton have to keep bloody getting shot (or blown up) at the start of every film? Really?? I mean, just take it for read that most people in the audience are not complete morons and get on with it!!My personal favourite take on the Robin Hood legend is the 80's TV series,'Robin of Sherwood',as for a movie version,'Robin and Marian' with Sean Connery perhaps?...
Funny games?,,,IMDd page,please!.I think the remakes of DC and Marvel series is firstly down to the fact that there's gold in them there hill's, massively helped by the advances in technology, mainly the CGI side of things.
A film I firmly recommend is the US remake of the German "Funny games" if that is how you like your scares it's a cult special.
On a side note, I "Hate" Star wars with a vengeance, it's not Sci fi... It just isn't ok.
Oh..... don't get me started on Hollywood re-makes of foreign films. I'm looking at you Assassin (Nikita), & The Girl with the dragon tattoo.A film I firmly recommend is the US remake of the German "Funny games" .
Ill start off with the original...For once the yanks did the right thing, as far as I know it is a shot for shot remake, not a cannibalised cash pot.
