SHOOT: So the reviews of Russell's Robin are starting to hit home, and so far there's nothing to crow [e] about. Maybe it's intended as a sort've Lord of the Ringsy 3 part series. Maybe it's an action flick like Clash of the Titans that just needed a good title to market a movie about recreating the past romantically but with no basis in fact [or even in the original fiction].
The eye candy in Hood is good, but beyond that - sorry. I wish Hollywood would remember that a really great story is at the centre of anything worth the trouble that the average flick is, making or watching - so why not make sure that the stories are stronger? I mean, who approved Transformers? And Date Night? And Iron Man 2?

The photography is, however, remarkable, and Crowe and the others are filled with fierce energy. Ridley Scott is a fine director for work like this, although in another world, Hollywood would let him make smarter films. God, he must be tired of enormous battle scenes. |
