Robin Hood Movie Review

My first Summer blockbuster for 2010!  I think I will present a review in stream of consciousness bullet point form, because it's easier.

Could be called: "Gladiator II: Return from the Mainland."
No historical accuracy at all.
Backwards D-Day.
Why did the archers leave the high ground?
Cary Elwes is still the only Robin Hood with a British accent.
Little bit of American politics, little bit of Communism/Hippie Commune.
I liked the "rise and rise again until lambs become lions" line.  I don't know why.
No historical accuracy at all.

It wasn't worth $10.50 at the theater.  It might be worth $10.50 in the used DVD rack.  But I think I'd rather have the first Gladiator.  Sequels are always a letdown.
