To be honest I didnt know that Ridley Scott was making a version of Robin Hood with Russell Crowe.
The Kevin Costner version was a bore due to his lack of charisma, and THAT scene in Sherwood when he asked the crowd to swear an oath to King Richard was very embarrassing.
The ONLY version which has stood the test of time is the Errol Flynn Version made in 1939. To this day, it remains a classic version of Robin Hood and has never been surpassed. Have a look at that same oath scene with Flynn and you will see what I mean. Pure Class!
However, I look forward to seeing the new one, after all they did a great job with Gladiator.
