Love Robin Hood badly since i was a kid, a good old english chap who shot the bad guys with arrows, YENG!!! :) That's why i went for archery whenever i have chances.
About the movie, Ridley Scott has been working the fifth time with Russell Crowe, and both of them really given a good film for this. Cate Blanchett being the classic pretty is always found in this kind of film, no doubt her acting is good, but not really a blast like "Elizabeth".
