Oh everytime I close my eyes, I see my name in shiny lights.
Went for a lil movie session with Big D, Shaster and Jason @ Pyramid
We caught
with two Oscar winners as leads, this movie was bound to be pretty good.
Copy and paste synopsis time ^^
Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richards army against the French. Upon Richards 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 Marian, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marian 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.
All in all, the acting made the movie believable.
However the action scenes were pretty much nothing you've not seen in
The Lord of the Ringsor other
'I WANT TO TAKE OVA YOUR COUNTRY MOVE OVA BISH'
type of movies.
The costumes were pretty awesome too.
Reminds me a lot of the Tudors,
which reminds me to borrow the series from Shinny again.
However,
Spoiler alert, please do not read on if you still want to enjoy the movie.The final battle scene was a little corny. Like they were making out in the middle of a war hello?!
People losing their lives trying to defend their nation and you're over there making out.
what you expect them to stop and go
'Awwwww, lovebirdssss'
or
'oh em gee, PDA!' ?
and i thought Robin Hood was known for stealin from the rich to aid the poor.
but noo,
guess this is just his back story.
How Robin from da hood came about.
towards the end after the final battle, King John was in a heated debate or 'shelling session' (inside Nirmala joke) with the people. And saliva was flying everywhere and it was fking hilarious.
Spoiler session tamatAlthough i really liked looking at the horses galloping. You know how they always show horses galloping in this super slowwwwww mode and then you see their hair on the crest and the tail hair floating parallel with the wind.
Makes me wanna horseback ride again.
Oooh i can do that in Redang!!!!!
*burst in joy moment*
Look at that white stallion, so handsome.
Oh and Russel Crowe looks the same in movies like this.
The scruffy
'must fight la no time to shave' look
Another thing the movie did to me was,
make me wanna learn French even moreeeeeeee.
I swear, even when they're plotting to destroy another man's nation.
I was delving into the dreamy conversations.
I was like speak moreeee speak moreeeeeeeeee.
All they had to do was speak French.
and there was this part where a guy was speaking in French and then this other guy replies in French and then the first guy goes
'English please'
I was thinking
NOOOOO
even when they curse its sexy.
LOL.
Teehee
peace
Look at that white stallion, so handsome.
