Dark and depressing, this adventure lacks all of the excitement and joy of many of Robin Hood's previous adventures.

The film is pretty, and there are a few solid moments every hour. But considered as a work of cinema, with paid professionals involved, it's an extremely lackluster story.

Its $200-million budget is on the screen. This is a big-scale ambitious period epic in the 60s grand tradition. It seeks to retell a well-worn tale, to put old wine in a shiny new bottle.

It's a prequel of sorts to the popular folklore, a prequel that nobody asked for.
