A man is known not by his words, but by his deeds....

And so the legend lives on...

Strong, honest and brave, a champion to lead his men. Robin of Loxley returns in the guise of a middle aged Russel Crowe, integrity intact, matched step by step by an incomparable Marion in Cate Blanchett, hand in glove with an irresistible Max von Sydon. The man before he became the legend, but as endearing as the better known bold rascal. His deeds inspiring men to follow, his honesty answering an old man's hope. A man to trust, respect and love. A hero has returned.

Ridley Scott's masterful vision of the battle on the beach steals your breath as the archers let loose a hail of arrows on the unsuspecting French, points thudding against hastily raised shield in tandem with your heart. The film is a trifle too long, and will surprise those on the lookout for the Sheriff and the Merry men, but bludgeons the truth behind the words, 'A man is known not by his words, but his deeds'. I'm a sucker for heroes and legends, not to mention bows and arrows, swords, horses and hand to hand combat. Wrong place, wrong time...
