Robin Hood is a 2010 film starring Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Oscar Isaac and Mark Strong, directed by Ridley Scott.The film distinguishes itself from previous Robin Hood films in that, like other then-recently rebooted franchises like Star Trek (2009) and The Dark Knight Trilogy, it offers an expanded origin story for the hero, showing how he met his supporting cast and how he became an outlaw. However, the fictional elements of the film's origin story are made up for the film itself, and familiar folkloric elements are not depicted, or at least not in the usual way. The film connects Robin's origins with historical tensions between King John and his nobles. Historical liberties taken are extreme.The Third Crusade is over, and an archer of murky origins named Robin Longstride deserts the English army together with his friends. He comes across a dying knight who sets him off on a quest to discover the secrets of his past. Meanwhile, England is beset by troubles from within and without. A newly crowned king's incompetence proves taxing, the nobles are restive, the common people face impending poverty and hunger, and a traitor is working with foreign powers to cripple the kingdom. Robin's journey takes him to the English royal court and to the struggling town of Nottingham, where he finds his true heritage and true love, and rises at England's hour of need to burst into legend as "Robin of the Hood".The usual storyline, about the nobleman Robin being outlawed, making trouble for the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Storming the Castle at the end to save Maid Marion (the one used by Douglas Fairbanks' silent Robin Hood, Errol Flynn's The Adventures of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, Men in Tights, etc.) is hardly covered here — this film is more of an Origins Episode for that heroic outlaw.Unlike some other Robin Hoods and like one other (Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn's Robin and Marion, which featured Robin at the end of his career), the film is mostly set in the reign of King John and only features his brother Richard the Lionheart at the start (and he dies by a French crossbow shot instead of needing to be ransomed). The film also includes more Historical Domain Characters than is usual for Robin Hood films. Aside from Kings Richard and John, Queen Mother Eleanor of Aquitaine, John's wife Queen Isabella of Angoulême, the English court official William Marshal and King Philip Augustus of France all have roles in the plot.Like most previous Robin Hood films, this movie has its own beat and style. It is an Adaptation Distillation of centuries of oral and written tradition, and book, television and film treatments. Most of the familiar story details everyone knows only developed through the centuries, including the association of Richard and John, Robin being a knight, a Storming the Castle climax, and even Robin's shtick of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. | |

| Robin Hood (2010) / int_10e86d8e | comment |
Second: Robin is directly tasked by a dying knight to bring his sword back to his father. The sword doubles as both Memento Macguffin and Sword of Plot Advancement, because Arc Words engraved on its hilt stir Robin's hazy childhood memories, and this drives him to seek out more information in the knight's hometown of Nottingham. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The film aimed for a PG-13 rating (for the theatrical cut at least), and so there is relatively little blood and no gore, compared to Gladiator. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This is certainly one of the grimmest tellings of a Robin Hood story, from the old ballads to modern works. Definitely so, compared to The Adventures of Robin Hood and most other Robin Hood films, by having more (or more overt) violence, politics and poverty than is the norm. Crowe's Robin is far from Flynn's wisecracking rogue. Even Prince of Thieves, which already tried to be Darker and Edgier while at the same time having Alan Rickman as the Sheriff, is outdone by this film. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Lady Marion Loxley does this when she gathers her hair and tucks it down the back of her shirt while also gathering and hiking up her skirt so that her legs are bare to the thighs and tries to free a ram stuck in the quicksand-like mud on her own without help or safety measures, but she falls in mud and only manages to herself stuck along with ram. After falling in mud while making a loud splash after she falls in, Marion manages to right herself while her skirt gets folded up around her body, very close to her and starts trailing in and out of the mud. Marion assures Robin and rest of the peasants near the bog that she is fine and that she does not need help to be rescued from being stuck in the mud as she holds one hand near the mud while raising one hand in the air to try to regain her balance and wave away peasants's concern for her. But when Marion tries to stand back up, the quicksand-like bottom had caught her and now holds her tight, causing Marion to sink low to her shoulders and to realize that she can't move her legs and that she now needs help to be rescued from being stuck in the mud as she is now helpless to do anything on her own. It turns out Lady Marion Loxley is not fine after all, and that she does need help to be rescued from being stuck in mud, leading to Robin going to rescue both Marion and ram. Fortunately, Marion is not in any danger of sinking deeper into mud to her death while being stuck in mud, she's just too stuck to free herself and has a hard time getting out. And after Robin rescues ram from mud, he also rescues Marion from mud as well. | |

| Robin Hood (2010) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Despite the film's generally authentic medieval feel (Artistic License – History aside), the ships in the climactic beach battle look rather like WWII-era Higgins boats, only rowed instead of motorized. The ships and the battle itself have prompted comparisons to Saving Private Ryan. During that battle Robin also uses a type of war hammer that would not be common until the 15th century. | |

Beard of Evil: While many males in the film have facial hair, ranging from Perma-Stubble to full beards, this trope applies to various villain characters: King John, the Sheriff, the true Big Bad King Philip, and Godfrey's second-in-command. Godfrey is the only clean-shaven villain, but a different trope applies to him. | |

They also show up at the climactic beach battle, led by an armor-clad Marion. At the very end of the film, when Robin is declared to be an outlawww, they form the majority of his band. | |

Scenery Porn: Several areas, not including drab Nottingham. In one scene, the English cavalry assembles at a verdant hillside with a huge white horse carved into it. Such figures really exist, though the film is vague as to which of the real ones is supposed to be represented. Only one existed at the time, but it looks nothing like the one in the film. | |

Corrupt Church: Most of the church officials are blind to the hunger and poverty of the people, as long as their own riches are filled. Averted with Friar Tuck, who can use the Church's own argument against them when Robin robs the grain from the previous Friar. | |

Recycled IN SPACE!!: The final beach battle, with apparently anachronistic ships, has been described as Saving Private Ryan IN MEDIEVAL TIMES! Even before the film was released, comments were rife about the film being Gladiator IN SHERWOOD! just because of the same director and same lead star with the same haircut, and Braveheart IN ENGLAND! just because there are battles and Robin gives a Rousing Speech. | |

Nonindicative Name: Some reviewers are of the opinion that the plain title "Robin Hood" was inadequate for a film about how a man became Robin Hood amidst warring kingdoms. He is "officially" Robin Hood only at the end. May fall into In Name Only territory, if you Accentuate the Negative and have the Flynn-style Robin as reference. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_65bc92fc | comment |
Four-Temperament Ensemble: Robin — Melancholic (always thinking, very progressive, and a natural leader) Little John — Choleric (patient enough to wait for Robin's signal to go into fights, as he is infantry, but never hesitates when it's time to fight, is the big guy of the team, and can be fairly cruel with his jokes) Will Scarlet — Sanguine (the most social of the four, quick to make jokes, but also the one to verbally panic when the group approaches London) Allan-a-Dale — Phlegmatic (quiet when he's not singing, generally follows along with anything the others want without argument) | |

Dead Person Impersonation | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_6d7cd3e | comment |
First: After deserting the English army upon Richard's death, Robin and company come across an ambush of the King's knights. The knights were escorting Richard's crown back to England. The trope is downplayed because Robin is not actually tasked with escorting the crown in their place, but seizes the chance to get a free trip home. Cue Dead Person Impersonation. | |

Arc Words | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: "Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions." According to Robin it means "Never give up." The phrase is the motto of his late father, who was executed for preaching in favor of increased civil rights and against absolute monarchism. Sir Walter, a supporter, had the phrase engraved on his sword hilt. When his son gives this sword to Robin years later, Robin's suppressed memories are stirred by the phrase, kicking off the main plot thread. | |

Origins Episode: This movie is one for the legend of Robin Hood, as most of the movie is about explaining how myths related to him (such as stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, being an incredible archer, living in the forest with his Merry Men, etc.) came to be in the first place. By the end of the movie the Robin of legend has only just begun his work, and the Sheriff of Nottingham has finally become his antagonist. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: John gives one about Richard to Queen Eleanor when she criticizes him for not being more like his experienced brother. John points out that his mother has supported Richard through everything, from the far-too-costly wars to having to pay four year's worth of England's treasury to ransom him when he was captured by the Austrians, and the basic fact that the entire reason England is in such disarray now is Richard's fault. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: In the theatrical cut at least, Prince John's first wife disappears after the scene which establishes she has been displaced by the French princess, which France can use as a pretext to go to war. John says he will ask the Pope for an annulment, but that's all the film gives on this matter. After King Richard dies, Robin and his group head back to England. The rest of the English army (hundreds or thousands of troops) are left behind in France to continue the war. They are never mentioned again. What makes this incredibly jarring is that near the end of the movie the French invade England with a sizable army. How is this possible if they are still at war at home? This is addressed early in the film when Robin mentions that he expects most of them to either be sent home or desert, thus his line about wanting to beat them to the boats before the price of crossing goes up a hundred fold. | |

Bilingual Dialogue | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_8a800d36 | comment |
Bilingual Dialogue: The nobility are perfectly comfortable speaking and understanding both French or English. This is true to history as, just barely a hundred and fifty years after the Norman Conquest, much of the nobility and certainly the Norman royal house would have used French (or, specifically, Anglo-Norman, a related language also called Norman French) as their language of choice. English was a peasant's tongue and was not used in government until the fourteenth century, due to The Hundred Years War and further reinforcement of negative opinions of the French. Thus, most of them never used English (Richard did not even speak it). | |

Rewrite | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_930a6407 | comment |
Rewrite: As stated above, the film creates its own origin story and does not follow the familiar template Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and others have depicted. But besides that, the film also does not use familiar details from folklore. For starters, Robin is given a new name, "Longstride". As the movie progresses, he does become "Robin of Locksley" in a way (see below). Instead of Robin and Little John fighting with staffs over a bridge, the film has the two fighting over a shell game. Instead of Robin meeting Friar Tuck at a river and the two conning each other into carrying the other over, Tuck is the new town priest who does beekeeping and mead brewing on the side. Will Scarlet and Allan A'Dayle are already Robin's army buddies at the start. Will is not related to Robin. Instead of stealing money and jewels and distributing them to the poor, Robin steals grain owed to the Church so that the people of Nottingham won't starve. But the biggest innovation in the film is probably making Robin a common archer who impersonates a dead knight named Locksley, and Marion being that dead knight's wife. | |

Quicksand Sucks | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_9abe931d | comment |
Quicksand Sucks: Averted and Downplayed: When Robin and Marion encounter a group of peasants trying to free a ram that was stuck in a mud, Marion gathers her hair and tucks it down the back of her shirt while also gathering and hiking up her skirt so that her legs are bare to the thighs and tries to free a ram stuck in the quicksand-like mud on her own without help, but she falls in mud and only manages to herself stuck along with ram. After falling in mud while making a loud splash on it, Marion manages to right herself while her skirt gets folded up around her body, very close to her and starts trailing in and out of the mud. Marion assures Robin and rest of the peasants near the bog that she is fine and that she does not need help to be rescued from being stuck in the mud as she holds one hand near the mud while raising one hand in the air to try to regain her balance and wave away peasants's concern for her. But when Marion tries to stand back up, the quicksand-like bottom grabs her for her legs and now holds her tight, causing Marion to sink low to her shoulders and to realize that she can't move her legs and that she now needs help to be rescued from being stuck in the mud as she is now helpless to do anything on her own. Leading to Robin going to rescue both Marion and ram. Fortunately, Marion is not in any danger of sinking deeper into mud to her death while being stuck in mud, she's just too stuck to free herself from the mud and has a hard time getting out of the mud. And after Robin rescues ram from mud, he also rescues Marion from mud as well. | |

Feudal Overlord | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_b343fa47 | comment |
Feudal Overlord: A benevolent and not particularly wealthy example in the Locksleys of Nottingham; Marion works together with their tenant farmers in the fields, and later Robin and the Merry Men follow suit. | |

Rape, Pillage, and Burn | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_ba6cf869 | comment |
Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Godfrey's modus operandi, under the pretense of taxation. Feeling strapped for cash, the newly crowned John plans to raise taxes against the advice of his infinitely more experienced mother and chancellor. John fires the chancellor and gives his job to Godfrey, who is ordered to get him his money by all means. Godfrey personally leads a warband through the land carrying out the trope; the audience knows all along that Godfrey is an agent of France purposely spreading unrest and disunity in anticipation of an invasion. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott previously worked on Gladiator, and rehashed a number of elements from it. Scott had to assure Crowe, "It's okay to steal from ourselves!" Crowe as Robin Hood catches a weapon thrown to him by The Big Guy after riding along the ranks of his troops on horseback, exactly as he did in Gladiator. The anachronistic-looking warships arriving at the beach battle seem to reference the famous D-Day sequence in Saving Private Ryan. | |

Action Girl: After Sir Walter has Robin agree to pretend to be his son Robert for a while, including pretending to be Marion's husband, she informs him that "I sleep with a dagger" and he takes the floor. She later pretends to seduce one of Godfrey's knights and kills him with a knife to the back of the neck, then wears Sir Walter's armor to fight in the battle on the beach. | |

Blood Oath | |

Blood Oath: Twice: When Godfrey swears allegiance to the French king, the king is eating raw oysters and has just cut himself opening one. He offers Godfrey the oyster laced with his blood, and Godfrey eats it. Alan points out to Robin when he swears to return Sir Robert's sword that this trope is in effect, since Robin had nicked his hand. Robin blows this off but still returns the sword to Sir Robert's father. | |

Divide and Conquer: This is Philip's plan to conquer England. He sends his agent, Godfrey (who's a friend of England's king, John) and has him act in John's name to incite the barons against him. It almost works, but Robin exposes this plan before he can invade, uniting them against Philip. | |

Take Over the World | |
| Robin Hood (2010) / int_ec0bf4a1 | comment |
Take Over the World: The Evil Plan of the real Big Bad is to take over England. He originally planned to have Richard killed, but Richard helpfully got himself killed on his own even before we see him plotting. He counts on his agent Godfrey, John's buddy, to get into a position of power by which he can foment unrest. With the English nobles divided among themselves, he then plans to invade. It would have worked too, despite counter-intelligence finding the plan out, except for a certain archer blundering across a dying knight, who then compels him to go to Nottingham, where he will find out his true heritage — which includes a drafted charter of rights which is used to unite the nobles in support of John (and vice versa). | |
