Robin Hood (2018)|| My Ratings & Thoughts

-
Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood. It's a great story, a man who cares about his fellow citizens and decides to stand up for everyone and steals from the rich to give to the poor while trying to overturn those ruining the lives of the common people. It's a very popular story and has also been made into TV series and movies. There are a lot of Robin Hood movies out there, which I have not seen most of, and I am sure there are many to come. I don't really know why its so popular, resulting in all these movies but I wouldn't pass up going to the cinema, or sitting back at home, and enjoying a movie. 


Robin Hood- movie (2018)
My youngest brother was out, and my other siblings were away and my mum isn't big on films and wanted to relax at home so my dad took me along with him to see the new Robin Hood movie in the cinema, this evening. 


Yesterday evening my mum read aloud some reviews and comments about this movie and there were a lot of negative ones saying that they would not recommend this movie and it was made a bit too modern and not like other versions but don't listen to  reviews and decided not to see a movie based on what other people think, because we went to see this and I don't think it was bad at all even though it was very different from what I expected but it had all the characters I know from the original story, even if they weren't represented in the same way. 


I loved the cast. I think they were great. I especially loved the Robin Hood (Taron Egerton) and Marian (Eve Hewson). I loved Friar Tuck (Tim Minchin) too. They were all great and I think they fit this version of the roles really well. 



This movie had a lot of action and also a little romance, which is obvious as we all know about the Robin and Marian romance from this story. 

I don't understand how this movie has such low ratings and so many negative comments because it wasn't a bad movie at all, even if it is done differently from other versions. After all, all versions are a little different anyway. I see how big fans of Robin Hood may think it was way too different, and I can't really say that much and compare to other versions as I am yet to see a lot of them so maybe when I see more I will understand some of these views on this movie more but standing alone this movie was very  well done and very gripping as well as entertaining. 

 I do see how the modernizing of it, especially in the style of dress, could not help with the story but I think this movie should be given a chance. Modernizing it can make the story more relatable or understandable to newer audiences to the world of Robin Hood. 

The two things I didn't like about this movie was how Marian and Robin Hood didn't have that much romance during the movie and I didn't really like the ending very much, but I don't really want to give much away because I defiantly recommend this film, if you love action and/ or like Robin Hood. 

I went into the movie knowing about the negative ratings and comments, but as soon as the lights dimmed and the movie started I was gripped and was soon lost in the adventures and missions of Robin and his friends, and eagerly waiting to see how everything would turn out. 

 I loved it.
It was a really good movie, and is on the list of movies I would see again for sure.

 I rate this movie a 9/10. 

The ending, however, I am still a little annoyed with....

Here is the movie trailer if you haven't seen it yet:

If you have seen this movie then please let me know what you think. 
I am really curious.

Also, who is your favourite Robin Hood?

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
