If you're going to remake Robin Hood, wouldn't you want to make it with younger actors, rather than people who all could have very easily been in the one from twenty years ago? (With, I grant you, the exception of Matthew Macfadyen, who is a bizarre choice anyway because he looks about fifteen, and Robin looks fifty-five, so huh?) I mean, I understand that our culture fetishizes youth, so in some ways This Is Good, but it also just seems, I dunno, kind of pointless? I mean, it's been done, you know? It's been done. And Russell Crowe is no Robin Hood. I'm sorry, I just don't buy a gladiator as Robin Hood.
(That said, the line in the trailer about "Robin of the hood"? Hilarious.)
