Robin Hood - the result...
What a load of rubbish that was! I didn't see some of the more obvious influences coming - this ropey series owes a great deal to Pirates of the Carribean in its style, but I suppose the most obvious laughs come from the costumes, which look more Star Trek than Sherwood Forest including what looked like moulded plastic mail. Poor digital effects are used throughout to create dodgy buildings but the worst aspect had to be the sound quality - presumably intended for people with surround sound high definition tv sets you could hardly hear any of the dialogue at all on a normal telly - what a gaff! I am sure it wouldn't have been just us who were falling about laughing at this pile of expensive dung - every time a place title came up it was accompanied by the sound of an arrow whistling through the air - only it sounded more like someone letting down a tyre and the sight of Keith Allen dressed in a fake fur crown was priceless. My overall verdict? Robin Shit.
