Okay, I'm biased. I saw the trailer weeks ago in Nottingham with half the actors from Robin of Sherwood. But seriously, we all wanted it to be good and... it isn't.
At one point he throws a sword across a courtyard like he's in the Matrix, it bounces off the heads of two guards and saves the prisoner crouching beneath. There's some bad rock music in the background that most certainly ISN'T Sisters of Mercy, and the lead actor looks like he belongs in a Manc indie band. He has about as much charisma and heroism as John Prescott on a moped.
Keith Allen is apparently a bit weak, but the man playing Guisburne is hugely camp and over the top and steals every scene he's in.
Early reviews have been around two stars out of five, but I suspect that slips if you wanted it to be brilliant so that Kip Carpenter could use the viewing figures to get his RoS follow-up made next year.
