Since I'm revisiting much-maligned 2000s war epics, I gotta say I rewatched Robin Hood 2010 recently and it did not deserve the lambasting it got. I feel like at the time people complained it was too gritty and bloated but like??? Compared to what we get now??? It's downright jolly, and man they used every cent of that big budget for gorgeous sets and costumes. Plus you get a guhREAT Cate Blanchett--she carried the whole movie for me, honestly, she's such a wizard--ultra-classic Mark Strong, whippersnapper Oscar Isaac (supporting role by Oscar Isaac's bare ass, A+, 10/10, a joy to have in class), baby Luke Evans as like Thug Number 6, Matthew Macfadyen so slimy you forget he's Matthew Macfadyen, Russell Crowe... pretty much the same as every Russell Crowe tbh (STAND DOWN Aubreyad fam), a half-dozen other greats that you know and love
AND!!!!!!!
My boy!!!! THE boy, even! Alan Doyle as Alan-a-Dale!!! Casting saw that chance and they TOOK it! This is the movie that Bully Boy comes from, which I DO listen to weekly and I WILL belt out given the slightest provocation. Am I singing it now? IT'S LIKELY!
