For what it's worth I enjoyed it. However I've been led to believe I'm of the minority in that opinion.

It's not so much that it doesn't have my attention.  Honestly I think so far what's bothering me has to do with the portrayal of King Richard.  "Let's get these French bastards so we can go home to Nottingham!" What?  From what I understand Richard was more French than English, barely spoke any English, and spent almost none of his reign in England.  He used his kingdom as a source of revenue to pay for his crusade.  Must have had a heck of a press writer.

I get that the facts of history don't always make for the best drama (I recently caught Pearl Harbor again, and my brother-in-law who is a huge WWII buff kept up a running commentary of the films historical failings).  I also get that the story of Robin Hood isn't exactly set in stone.  I guess I just expected that if there was an Englishman who could tell this story, it would be Ridley Scott.

Ok Ridley, show me what you've got.

What's your favorite movie of this genre, Matt?
