Russell Crowe as Robin Hood? I don't know, man...
Yeah I'm not really feeling this one. Which is a shame because I love the Hood and was looking forward to another version.
It seems to me that there are a lot of big battles. Only seemed to be one quick clip that hinted at the usual sneakery of Robin and his Merry Men (when the tree falls on the soldier. maybe the bit where they pop up out of the water.)

I don't know if that's his Merry Men. I think more of this focuses on him in the Crusades and... they're storming Normandy?

You know, I thought the same way. That this would only work with a backstory telling how the Hood is the direct descendant of Maximus, or that Maximus was actually in a coma and was then transported by aliens to 12th century England where he finds Commodus now ruling as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
And when a trailer makes you think that... it's time to walk away.

He just does not look like the guy that will laugh in your face and put an arrow through your heart at the same time. Errol Flynn will always be the best Robin Hood. The next best one is Cary Elwes. ^See fade.

Nothing says the Middle Ages like Hollywood-Heavy Metal.

Every since Sean Connery played the Old Assed Robin Hood, Hollywood has taken the joy out of the roll. They play him more like Batman (I has sad and sullen,) instead of a Good-guy Joker.
I still need to see that version.
Any body that gets brought to a party after he is dead has to be awesome. /urban legend

Robin of Sherwood, from the Early 80's....brilliant show, lots of atmosphere.
Seen it when it first aired, loved it then and love it now on DVD. It has great flair, evil bad guys and of course there is John Rhys Davies as on hardcore Richard Lionheart.No love for this lot?

But it all ended with the vanishing of the first Hood, the young Connery never was any good and the franchise was done for.

I have to say I loved The Prince of Thieves when I was younger - and when Kevin Costner had yet to flush his career down the proverbial toilet. But still, it was a movie with humour, action and romance - not just one of those.
And yes, Erroll Flynn and Cary Elwes both rule as well.

It's not really the final trailer. It's more of those kind of sneak peaks. There should be a more story based one in a month or two.
