Robin Hood: Expectations for Ridley Scott's epic adaptation were considerably high, and reviews have been mixed to average. I can't say that's surprising, because it doesn't look like the tale of Robin Hood at all, but people have been in complete disagreement on the merits of the film. Guy Lodge from In Contention gave a medium review stating "It’s a fairly rote critical bitchslap to say that the closing credits are the best part of movie, but that’s quite literally the case in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. I say this not in snark, but in praise: it’s a genuinely remarkable credit sequence."Leo Robson of the Financial Times completely bashed the film, stating "If Ridley Scott’s aim was to bewilder, then Robin Hood must be counted a storming success. From the opening scene, we are offered little idea of who is doing what to whom. As for why: forget it." Depending on how this weekend goes, the film could either prove to be a hit with audiences, or this year's Narnia: Prince Caspian.
