For me, The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn is my go-to Robin Hood movie.
Here's the story: http://sex-in-a-sub.blogspot.com/2010/05/robbing-from-poor-writer.htmlWhat'll really rustle your jimmies is the movie was originally much different before Ridley Scot got a hold of it. It had a brilliant screenplay called Nottingham, where the star would be the Sheriff dealing with these outlaws in the forest.
Yeah, I read that. But watching it, it wasn't what could have been that bothered me. It was just how mediocre and sloppy and nonsensical what they actually did was.What'll really rustle your jimmies is the movie was originally much different before Ridley Scot got a hold of it.

You might want to start locking your RV...Beavis and Butt-head do America
I saw this back in the day, and I noticed it popped up on Netflix. My kids love 90s movies for some reason. This would've been a bit much for my daughter, but I let my son watch it, and he loved it. Now he won't stop quoting Butt-head.
It didn't try at all. I wish this hadn't been advertised as a horror movie, but then maybe it would've done even worse at the box office. But the ghosts were never supposed to be scary, which is why they're all in your face and screaming and blood everywhere.Crimson Peak
It tried really hard to be creepy and scary.
This is more Crimson Peak's wheelhouse. It was just mis-advertised.Honestly it almost felt like it should have been an Anne Rice novel, but without fangs.
Are you sure they weren't similes?They were supposed to be a METAPHOR, why won't people get that? They said it a million times in the flick!
"It's not a ghost story. It's a story that happens to have ghosts in it."Crimson Peak
It tried really hard to be creepy and scary. It wasn't, which left me disappointed. I didn't feel like there was much character development either.Honestly it almost felt like it should have been an Anne Rice novel, but without fangs.The incestuous relationship between Thomas and Lucille was very obvious.
Tom Hiddleston was pretty to look at though.
Ah, I miss that running joke. Good times.SIMILES?!
Yes, but it's okay. Arachnophobia is a much worse came of mis-advertising, almost to an insidious degree.Kinda like Arachnophobia.
Wait.. did I say that already about this?
I realized that while I was watching. It was part of my disappointment, too, because I had kind of hoped it was going to be (I don't know what it is actually called so bear with me) a kind of reverse psychology foreshadowing. "It's not a ghost story....HOT BUTTERED JIBBERS THEY'RE GOING TO EAT MY SOUL IF I BAT AN EYELASH!" Meh."It's not a ghost story. It's a story that happens to have ghosts in it."
That's said very early in the film and pretty much spells out how the film is meant to be viewed.
Wouldn't that steel him somewhat, then? If he'd know what happens in the books?Going to see part 2 of Mockingjay with my son in an hour. He doesn't do well with emotional scenes in movies, and we always have to sit at the end of the row because he will bolt out of the theater until they are over, so I think this is going to be interesting. (He wants to see it because he's read the books and seen all the other movies.)
You'd think they wouldn't have to rush from plot point to plot point in a two and a half hour movie ... maybe if they didn't pad it out to try and make it seem like the third book needed to be split up.@blotsfan
They really fuck up the emotional response in this movie IMO. They rush from one thing to another so fast that I didn't even feel sad. TO BE FAIR, I knew what was coming, but I cried a lot when I read the book, and a well done movie will always spawn tears even if I've watched it over and over.
And no, Prim gets blown up, and Katniss gets hit by it too, and then it cuts to the next scene with her in a bed.
In regards to Mockingjay Part 2.
Does the movie have the scene where Katniss just straight up murders that poor woman in the Capital just for spotting them? That's literally the moment I lost ALL sympathy for Katniss and actively hoped she wouldn't make it to the end of the story.

Ugh, now I want to go even less.I feel like Katniss took on a lot of Peeta's personality in this movie, and actually felt remorse about everyone that died, rebel or loyalist. I don't recall her shooting any civilians at all. You really don't see Katniss going mad at all, and Peeta's whole storyline feels more like a footnote than anything. They don't even have his cake at the wedding.

The Hunger Games is over, but the knock-offs still have their third books to be split into third and fourth movies forthcoming.okay so, I'm scared to ask, but we're done with the Hunger Games nonsense right? Jennifer Lawrence is set free to do maybe a couple action movies that aren't complete shit garbage? awesome.
Did it show any obvious signs of being overhauled midway through production? It was really obvious with Brave and Frozen, so I'm curious if there was any point it just bizarrely went in a different direction.Saw The Good Dinosaur. Kind of felt like Pixar was trying too hard? *shrug* Wasn't terrible, but didn't really feel great either.
From what I have read (such as i09's spoiler free review as well as earlier interviews with the creators), they had a giant bloated mess and the directorial shift basically gutted it down to a very simple story that generally works in its favor but that may be a little too thin for the payoff. It sounds critical, but only in contrast to the Pixar greats, especially one that came out earlier this year.Did it show any obvious signs of being overhauled midway through production?

It's like the main core story is a very familiar plot with a main character who I feel is a bit too defined by the fact that he is constantly afraid, yet the film's also tempered by this weird dinosaur Western flavor. Oh, and all the settings and water physics look stunning.Did it show any obvious signs of being overhauled midway through production?
