I
can appreciate a “so bad it’s good” movie, though Robin Hood successfully quashes any ironic entertainment potential
and instead provides an unbearable affront to the basest taste and
intelligence. Robin Hood is the grown-up
version of a teenage
LARPer who decided to point a camcorder on his buddies and himself during a
heavy roleplaying sesh in the woods—I mean heavy. An English soldier has his
eyes gouged out in the first scene. Though the production value and gore far
surpasses camcorders, don’t question why the filmmakers didn’t allocate their
budget to more important things like script, actors, and any audio taken during
the shoots themselves. Not to say that the use of 3D isn’t an artistic choice
on the part of the director: you feel like you are staring at those electric,
holographic light pictures of moving waterfalls and bamboo landscapes that they
sell at the mall. The jury’s out on whether Maid Marian’s negligent care
of her highlights were a conscious decision. Her historical counterpart would
never let her roots get that bad.
