Speaking of Ridley Scott films starring Russell Crowe (read all about the new Blu-ray edition of Gladiator here, if you haven’t already), Universal Pictures have announced the September 20th release of the duo’s recent Robin Hood film on Blu-ray in the U.K. I missed this one in the theatres but I have to say, it looks like a major misstep – prequel story, old Robin, too much war, too much like Gladiator, etc. But, as a long time fan of all things Robin Hood, I’m eager to get my hands on it and give it a go. I mean, really…how bad can it possibly be?!

Personally, I thought it was a great movie. It wasn’t a great Robin Hood movie, but by itself it was a great medieval era movie.

Thought it was a pretty solid Robin Hood movie…the action was great and the acting superb. They’ve released the North American release dates as well, if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2iO241ZyYU
