THE WARRING STATES is a curious film, at times capturing the ‘bigness’ and ‘boldness’ that only the best period pictures can muster. It feels rich, epic and lush – … more
Rather than basing this version of Robin Hood on any of the ancient legends about this fictional character, the film makers of this excellent, well acted, and dramatic movie base their totally different … more
Still speechless, I've seen THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING four times now. The film is cinemagic. Its scope is epic. Its delivery is perfect. The acting is unforgettable, and the … more
Browsing around fandango.com, I lucked out when I found an Asian period epic playing nearby. Much like the films “Three Kingdoms”, “Red Cliff” and “The Warlords”, a … more
Wow. Just wow. I just finished seeing Return of the King and I can safely say that it is not only the best Lord of the Rings film, it is also the best fantasy film ever made and one of the best movies … more
I have always loved the story of Robin Hood. As a little kid Disney's Robin Hood was one of my favorite movies, and since then, it has been added to my wide array of films that have become staples … more
This is a fantasy story about a set of friends on two very different quests. Disaster has struck the land of Melin; the Chalice of Ringtar has been stolen. It is a sacred relic, … more
I just recently saw this movie, and have not yet seen the second or third, but I absolutely love this. This is a pretty much perfect film. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's everything … more

Ridley Scott's 'Robin Hood' is an action-filled masterpiece, but it's an achievement lacking in the heart of "merry men,' and the spirit of Robin Hood. Every shot is expertly framed, a stunning sight … more

I can't say that I was at all impressed by this film. I've enjoyed a number of Ridley Scott's films in the past, but his current phase of making epic historical action films isn't that … more

One of the best stories and movies of all time. Just make sure you get the extended edition DVD. The "extra" material should never have been left out of these. Rarely does a movie live up to a book, especially … more

Robin Hood is the pre-story...the story of Robin Hood's journey to his calling. Fans of epic, war or love stories should end up liking the introductory … more
Excellent, life-changing cinematography and storytelling. Be ware of the dead-folks though, they're not in the novel (in any big way), and seem to not quite fit the way they've been added.
Had there never been a Braveheart or Gladiator, Robin Hood probably would have been a much better film. Unfortunately for the producers -- and the viewers -- this film tried to live up to its similar … more
I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend, i thought it looked and sounded good since i absolutely love the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm really sad to say how mistaken i was. This book … more
The Fellowship of the Ring is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read it numerous times, and I always enjoy it. It's a book that never grows old. Every time I reread it, I find something … more
