Too much competition from big movies right now.

Haven’t the last three attempts of a big budget “Robin Hood” movie failed at the box office? I’m pretty sure the Russell Crowe one a few years back did. I don’t know how the Kevin Costner version, a few more years back, did.

Did they remake Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood?

Haven’t there been numerous Robin Hood movies over many decades? Was there really a new story to tell about Robin Hood?

Honestly who green lit that nonsense?

Hey, I got an idea, lets make Robin Hood more Hip and Cool and a SJW... and multicultural and blah blah blah...

Olivia De Havilland - Maid Marian - is still going strong at 102.

We watched Crazy Rich Asians this weekend and found it enjoyable.

Who was the genius who thought the world needed another Robin Hood remake? That was a stupid venture.

Lots of good versions of that story already out. How many times are they going to tell it?

Little Leo DiPrickio was a producer, Jammies Foxx was in it as an A-rab and Bono's daughter was Made Marian.

Flush the toilet on this turkey.

In this telling, Little John is Robin Hood’s black muslim commander and mentor.

One supposes muslim Little John is teaching mass murder and rape, as is the craving of the Muslim.

Well now, everyone knows male hero types are embarrassments from the past. We have to let the past die,right? Kill it if we have to!
Robin can be a male OR female name, so Robin Hood should...MUST...be female! Merry men? BAH! MARY men is correct. Granted, 'stealing from the rich to give to the poor' could be reworked to glorify socialism, but to be true to that mentality viewing should be free for all. Who needs box office returns?Capitalism is evil...right?/sarc

Did any of this thinking contribute to the film bombing?

Damn near all these failures are blatant SJW bullcrap. The comments at the linked article are quite interesting. At least I’m not the only one who is sick of that crap in movies and TV.
