Such a frustrating disappointment
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
View MoreThis was a classic case of the DVD cover being vastly better than the movie itself. The DVD cover looked absolutely great and from it Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood with decent execution had potential to be a guilty pleasure at least. However, the promise it initially showed was completely squandered by terrible execution all round to the extent that it is far too amateurish to remotely pass as a guilty pleasure.Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood is badly made for starters. The scenery is alright and the cinematography reasonably good but with such disjointed and confused editing and very drab lighting it was difficult to enjoy either. The music is completely overblown and a long way from rousing, in fact a lot of it is a monotonous bore. Further hindered by erratic sound quality, sometimes overbearing and sometimes distant, all the time drowning out the dialogue. Not that the dialogue is worth hearing, because it high in cheese and low in wit and fun and so awkward in flow that it sounds like it was improvisatory. The story is equally disastrous, too thin to sustain the running time and too many scenes like irrelevant padding, if you are looking for any entertainment or excitement both are nowhere in sight.It is also interminably dull, the movie is less than two hours but feels like an eternity. The action is incredibly lazy in choreography and have no suspense or fun whatsoever, actually on par with poorly executed action from an Asylum movie and even worse. The direction is stunning in how inept it is, while the characters are devoid of any engaging likability or personality, almost like human robots. The acting across the board is stiff with line delivery that reads of just reading their lines or last minute learning. Overall, as much as I hate ragging on movies and try not to be too hard on low-budget movies, taking into account the inevitable flaws and what to expect, but Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood was really pathetic. 1/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreThis movie is not even remotely good. I appreciate a good low budget or even micro budget film. This is not that! The acting is brutal, line delivery is like listening to a customer service line where the English is forced at best with extreme limited understand-ability, and there is no coherent direction for the film. It's a comedy ... no it's an action flick ... but wait it's a zombie movie. I mean it can be all three if meshed together and apparent. This is not meshed at all. It goes in one direction then another and another. Serious, scary, fun, silly, or just plain no good? Guess.. I'm not a big fan, but I did watch the whole movie & the special features which made me understand the quality a bit.
View MoreYes, that famous director of horror B movies must be back because this is certainly his style. Subtract four marks if you don't like Ed Wood movies.The story idea is fine but it takes a while for the undead to arrive and until then there is just regular Robin Hood. The editing is disjointed in places (worse toward the end). The photography is good but there is little or no post-production colour work, you get it as it was shot. Audio wise the voice dubbing is poor while the music is reasonable though a little over blown in places. The special effects are low budget, like everything else, and do not knit in very well.By the end of the film the actors were starting to get the hang of it and the costumes look more realistic after a few weeks real wear and tear. However, they must have run out of money because it doesn't really end, the action stops and there are a couple of scenes stitched on that don't give a satisfactory conclusion.If the director had just said, 'We're making a pantomime here, lets really ham it up,' it would have gone a lot better.
View MoreHave you ever watched a tearjerker? One that was so traumatizing that it tugged at your heart and made you think about it well after you had watched it. Well, folks this is definitely one of those. This movie is so bad you will really cry. The action, acting special effect are all just horrible...WHY KANE HODDER? WHYYYY????? ZOOZOO.....cricket, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT???? It should have been used to prevent this movie from being made. Please keep to what you do best...Hack N Slash. You didn't have to do this.For anyone who reads this I give you fair warning it is one of the worst movies of 2012...... No, of all eternity. For your sanity don't watch it unless you want to lose all friends and family.
