Saw the movie Robin Hood opening weekend. Russell Crowe taking his shirt off is worth the price of admission and the hour wait. ;D Super cast, great production values, wonderful 'twist' to the story, but otherwise silly, with dumb parts, and it sets itself up for sequel I'm not sure we'll see.
IMDb reports Russell Crow is the same age Sean Connery was when he played Robin in the 'autumn' version of Robin and Marian. Neither Crowe nor Blanchette are spring chickens and their characters admit as much, but they show no signs of acting like geriatric cases.
Give it 6.99 out of 10

I'm glad you liked it more than not, del. I'm planning to see this one, purely for Russell and Cate. Sounds like a good popcorn flick. 8)

Yes, it does, and I plan to see it, too. I am looking forward to seeing those high production values convincingly recreate Europe from a millennium ago.
And I love Russell Crowe as an actor. I did read one review that wished the role had been given to someone with more sprezzatura -- the reviewer suggested Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt. I can see what she means about the first two (I'm not sure I'd find Brad Pitt convincing), but I'll wait and see.

Hi All,
I saw Robin Hood over the weekend too - I thought it was very well done! Looking forward to more.
I have Jesse James yet too watch too.

You mean like the sprezzatura you exhibited in the way you dropped the word into your post?
I had to look it up, it's new to me.
