(See <i>Avatar</i>.) For Scott, that movie was <i>Nottingham</i>.<br /><br />The other thing: if it's a Singaporean movie, you can expect one constant: they will try too hard.McGarmotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100492626536604356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-77129867058627850482010-05-24T17:02:11.055+08:002010-05-24T17:02:11.055+08:00He did Gladiator too (with Crowe), dont forget tha...He did Gladiator too (with Crowe), dont forget that..fadzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597937449083940452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-12635083413337595222010-05-24T12:44:55.943+08:002010-05-24T12:44:55.943+08:00well, both gladiator and robin hood are historical...well, both gladiator and robin hood are historical epics - and both are about some ex-army guy versus a despotic ruler. both stars crowe and directed by scott.<br /><br />it's very hard not to draw the comparisons, really, at least in my humble opinion :)k0k s3n w4ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564727389837796019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-79999711281215188932010-05-24T11:33:10.462+08:002010-05-24T11:33:10.462+08:00@Himmat Singh: You didn't read the review, did...@Himmat Singh: You didn't read the review, did you?<br /><br />@k0k s3n w4i: I don't like comparing it to <i>Gladiator</i>, just because Crowe is in it and Scott directed it. What drove Maximus was always clear. Robin Longstride is just aimless for the most part.TMBFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01033111132206047919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-25921995340002652102010-05-24T07:04:50.115+08:002010-05-24T07:04:50.115+08:00I saw the director's cut of kingdom of heaven ...I saw the director's cut of kingdom of heaven and it was a far superior movie compared to the the theatrical cut - and i certainly liked it better than i did gladiator.<br /><br />robin hood is basically ridley scott trying very ungracefully to shoehorn maximus into medieval, pre-magna carta england. if scott wanted to do a movie about the magna carta, i would much rather see prince john as the protagonist - that would have been a much better flick.<br /><br />did you know that this time, we have crowe and ridley scott to blame for the script? both of them disliked the nottingham story and decided to make this x-men origins: robin hood instead. what i wouldn't give to see nottingham come through instead -.- and with edward norton as the sheriff, please.k0k s3n w4ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564727389837796019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164805258628400279.post-29475621024048040242010-05-24T00:45:28.410+08:002010-05-24T00:45:28.410+08:003/5....must be quite good huh???3/5....must be quite good huh???Himmat Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602604523901485230noreply@blogger.com
