this film be not worth your time . i watch it when it premier on tv out of a lack of anything well to do . and i remember think very clearly that the lead actress be strikingly attractive and but a very weak actress . since then and keira knightley have prove that my initial impression might be far too hasty . in fact and her performance in pride and prejudice be absolutely oscar worthy . but her performance be not worth sit through this mess . it be a weakly conceived and cheaply make film and and have none of the inherent pleasure of the original robin hood legend . the acting be and without exception and overwrought . and many of the scene be simply painful in memory ( like the bad guy speech right when he be prepared to kill an age robin and which give the secondary hero an opportunity to regain his sword . be writer never go to tire of that scene . ) robin hood enthusiast and knoightley fan alike should pass this one over .
