I am the first to admit that when I heard that my favorite actor, Russell Crowe, was going to do a new version of one of my favorite film characters, Robin Hood - the 1938 Errol Flynn version is film at its best - I was more than a bit nervous. But then I saw several clips and heard Ridley and Russell explain their goals and I started to feel a bit better. Now, after reading these reviews I am positively giddy with excitement.

Interesting that the 2 best Robins are both from Australia... yep, ole Errol was from Hobart,Tasmania. I always wondered if the wits at Looney Toons (the great Warner Brothers Studio Cartoon Kingdom) created the Tasmanian Devil in honor of Errol....
This review from the Guardian isn't too shabby, either:

Funny that it's opening in France, at the Cannes Film Festival.....
Namaste, Yinz!
