This movie, if you look back, was set in 2018 and the world loved Egerton's performance, and we even get to see some big names: Jamie Foxx as John, Eve Hewson in her role as Marian, Ben Mendelsohn playing the ever-so-ruthless, Sheriff of Nottingham! It was all put together under the direction of Otto Bathurst.

It seems the audience hasn't given "Robin Hood" such a strong vote, making it not so loved and as a big success on its first release in theaters but with the power of Netflix streaming, it's showing just how loved and powerful these iconic heroes really are! It may have received low ratings at only 14% among reviewers, but on a more positive note, there are a surprising number of fans giving the movie a 39% review. It really shows how some people find these heroes very memorable!

What really sets "Robin Hood" apart from others is that Netflix is currently highlighting this film! It's in the Top 10 most popular movies!

This Robin Hood was released with hopes of a franchise for all fans and viewers but the movie did something different with its plot, including taking a grittier approach. It wasn't all about magic, swords, or this ideal prince but instead it focused on realism.

  • The characters have some amazing story arcs.
  • The heart of the plot is how a once strong and brave figure
  • He loses everything as his kingdom gets more corrupt, with bad leadership taking everything for them!

Egerton's version is a more dark retelling that was really about finding his sense of worth as he had to protect his people! It's interesting, it was not so well loved in the era of the MCU which really hit a great stride back then! This makes you really wonder if the timing wasn't ideal!

You know, movies need audiences to truly succeed! And it appears that the "Robin Hood" movie didn't quite live up to expectations. The lack of enthusiasm and appreciation from critics. This might be a new reason that a lot of people haven't given it a watch. What's truly amazing? Well, it seems there was some unexpected attention given to this special movie as it found a place in Netflix's most watched list, getting a fresh chance with a wider audience.

It turns out this movie could get more love especially after viewers have watched the big hits and blockbusters! Who knew the magic of a classic legend would resonate in this era!

Maybe there's a special appeal from these more somber takes on these popular characters that people want to enjoy, with great actors in "Robin Hood" who might even spark audiences into watching some of their other works!

One of the reasons to check it out! As this movie is a great escape with some entertaining elements that the average movie lover can really appreciate.
