I thought this new iteration of Robin Hood was going to be awful, much like @King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) . BUT, I was pleasantly surprised. I was entertained throughout, and the action was good. The film didn't stray far from the original bones of the story, which was a good thing. Taron Egerton did well as Robin, and, Ben Mendelsohn is completely menacing. I won't be surprised if this film isn't a lot of people's jams, but I still completely enjoyed it.

"The most memorable book present in my life has to be Rosemary Sutcliffe’s marvelous The Chronicles of Robin Hood. My parents bought it for my seventh birthday to wean me off James Bond, gunfighters and martial arts. It didn’t succeed, but it was the first book that moved be enough to make me cry."

Boring and slow
This iteration of Robin Hood brings nothing new or better to the table. The movie moves at a snails pace and and even the action scenes were stale and predictable. If you really like Taron Egerton, skip the theater and watch it at home.

From the author who wrote The Outlaw Chronicles (about Robin Hood), this is a historical action thriller that purports to tell the story of an English Knight who fought for the Mongols during the time of Genghis Khan, I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.

I think I still prefer the Outlaw series stories, though.

I love a good Robin Hood story but this one fell flat. The premise was spectacular and the characters well thought out but there are some things that you just can't do when retelling such a famous story. I am of course speaking of the romance. And I will leave it there as I don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

I first heard of/read Angus Donald about 2, maybe 3, years ago, when I read his novel <i>Outlaw</i> - a visceral retelling of the Robin Hood legend - and which proved to be one of the best 'new' books I read that year.

I also read the sequel to <i>Outlaw</i>, <i>Holy Warror</i> - in which Robin and his men travel to the Holy Land to fight in what would become known as the Third Crusade - but found it was not quite as good as its predecessor.

The third novel in the series - <i>King's Man</i> - is a return to form. Set back in England and, like the previous two novels, presented as the elderly Alan Dale retelling the story of his younger days, this novel takes the struggle between Richard the Lionheart and his brother Prince John for the throne as its bedrock. With Richard imprisoned on his return journey home from the Holy Land - a historical fact also used as the basis for the famous novel/film <i>Ivanhoe</i> - the throne of England is left vulnerable. Most of the Robin Hood legends acknowledge this fact; in most of them Robin remains loyal to King Richard, with this novel no exception. As a partial result, Robin is once again outlawed and once again takes up his old ways ...

Looking forward to the next installment!
