DVD: Robin Hood
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ridley Scott’s version of ye olde legend has the hefty battle scenes and earthy period colour you’d expect, but Scott seems to think that Robin (Russell Crowe) was a real historical figure, and so he explores in baffling detail the political chicanery which led to one of King Richard’s archers becoming an outlaw, and gives us precious little swashbuckling.
Essentially, it’s a Star Trek/Batman Begins-style prequel which stops just where you’d want it to begin.
