A Hero. Honourable Thief. Lovable Rogue. Scoundrel. Blackguard.

Everyone’s heard of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, with big, bad Sheriff of Nottingham and evil Prince John trying their best to thwart Robin at every turn. But what if things were different to what you’ve been told? What if Robin wasn’t as altruistic as history portrayed?

In the late spring of 1198, the hamlet of Girton is razed to the ground. Newly married eighteen-year-old Will Scathlock and sixteen-year-old Alana move to the larger village of Blidworth to start their lives anew. In his new job as a forester for the Royal Palace of Clipstone, known to the locals as King’s Houses, Will hears tales of a good thief, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. But in her role as seamstress for the Manor House, Alana hears a different story.

Find out what it was like for the peasant folk Robin was supposed to be helping, before his well-known adventures in Nottingham. Meet Alana Dale and read her story of what it was really like, and how it all began.

Kevin Hart
Disappointed
The trailers for this movie looked okay, I'm sick to the back teeth of Kevin Hart, but I am a big fan of The Rock and the film looked fairly humorous. It wasn't going to get me into the cinema, but it did enough to warrant me to check it out once it left the cinema. Then the movie was recommended to me by several people who had been to see it, so I stuck it on, expected to have sore sides from laughing. I'm still waiting for the hilarious movie that I was promised by the folk who recommended this.
I chuckled maybe a total of 4 times during the movies runtime and the 4 times I chuckled were during scenes that I had already seen in the trailers. I can't be the only one that is fed up with Kevin Hart doing the exact same shtick in every film he shows up in and he doesn't do anything to redeem himself here. Even The Rock, the most charismatic man in Hollywood, can't save this mess.
Give it a skip, just don't bother. Watch the trailers for a few chuckles and then go watch a funnier movie. It's not even an awful movie, it's just not funny and frankly boring at times.
