The latest trailer for “Gladiator” “Braveheart” “Kingdom Of Heaven” Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” is a big, lavish, opulent, pulse pounding bore.
Russell Crowe stars as the pic’s titular legend, with Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion but my God we wish the film would get over itself. Brimming with ominous music, Vaseline lensed flashbacks and big, epic groups of people rushing at other wielding swords we feel like we’ve seen this film already about half a dozen times. We were not impressed with Scott’s last attempt at period drama, the sluggish and tepid “Kingdom Of Heaven,” and this one seems to promise more actors spouting marble mouthed dialogue at each other.
“Robin Hood” opens on May 14th and we’re just glad its not going to be in 3D.
