Between the tormenter and trailer , Lionsgate is sellingRobin Hoodas aBatman Begins - esque mediaeval hero origin story , complete with highly stylized natural action and lay out pieces . It only makes gumption , see asRobin Hoodfilms past have always reflected the pop penchant in action movies for any special decade . typeface in point : Robin Hood : Prince of Thieveswas a swashbuckler in the mode popular in the ' 90 , 2010’sRobin Hoodtook its discriminative stimulus from the diachronic epics of the 2000s ( many of which , like the film , were directed by Ridley Scott ) , and the 2018Robin Hoodis designed to stand out in the halcyon era of the superhero film .
However good or bad the motion picture turns out , Robin Hood ( 2018)certainly has its work cut out for it at the box billet . The film ’s release date has been crowd back a few time already , but it ’s currently set to premiere in theatre on the same day as the sequelsCreed IIandRalph Breaks the Internet . WithFantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwaldand Steve McQueen ’s buzzed about criminal offence / thrillerWidowsarriving less than a week in the beginning , Robin Hoodwill credibly struggle to keep its forefront above the piddle , give the expectant competition .
If nothing else , the action mechanism in Bathurst’sRobin Hoodlooks slick and Egerton has already show his content for playing a charismatic action star in theKingsmanseries . It remains to be see if the film has anything fresh to wreak to the table in terms of tale , but the tale of a mask hoagy struggle for justice against a corrupt administration functionary is one that ( unfortunately ) remain as seasonable and relevant as ever it were . There may yet be Leslie Townes Hope for Lionsgate ’s " Robin Hood Begins " , for that very reason .
