From 4chan:

>Robin Hood dresses as a member of Antifa
>Little John is a black muslim
>Christianity portrayed as a corrupt capitalist invention with no true faith in god
>Islam portrayed as a pure faith
>Robin Hood gives speech about "redistributing wealth" (those words exactly)
>Nottingham soldiers are literally medieval riot police equipped with riot shields
>Antifa members topple large cross off building
>Robin hood leads a literal black bloc of Antifa all wearing black hoods and red neckerchiefs armed with molotov cocktails against riot police
> end credits resemble old soviet propaganda featuring another toppled upside down cross and an anarchist flag that takes up the entire screen for 5 seconds

Doesn't Robin Hood take from the rich and give to the poor? Antifa are the opposite. They are the sons of Wall Street. They fight against small business, people who can't fight back.

This is stupid. Robin Hood has always been a story about one man stealing from a corrupt and greedy government to give to starving peopl. If you got a problem with that. You should boycott every version of Robin Hood ever made. Keep your modern politics out of ancient story's. Dipshit.

Who are you replying to, dipshit? The writer/director are the ones who put modern politics into medieval mythology.

How does being "rich" have to do with being corrupt or greedy, never the less associated with a 'greedy government' (Higher Taxes - Pro Marxism)?

By your comment, I think you're too young to understand current government (local/international), let alone the how the SPIRIT of Robbin Hood has been portrayed on tv and in film.

To you, their Left-Wing terrorism is 'acceptable', as the current news supports the ANTIFA Mobs. This is just 'normal' to you, so you don't care for the lack of your knowledge.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Im a lot older than 20. I bet your one of those people who only think in black and white. Either you love rich people or your Commie and an Antifa member. If you believe communism is a failed experiment. But you don't want people to die because they can't afford fucking Health Insurance. Then your a Marxist. Its not like the Far Right dosn't have its angry mobs of lunatics. I think something happened Charlottesville a couple years back. No, not all rich people are horrible. Bill Gates gives a lot of his money to help kids in Africa and shit.

The horrendous costumes alone keeps me away, never mind the crappy, B-grade plot. I still maintain that "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was the best of the Robin Hood movies made (never got to watch the Errol Flynn one).

Agree completely. Saturday afternoon at my local Odeon did a double header of Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves (My absolute favourite) and Terminator 2:Judgement Day.

What a simpler time that was.

[–] RoboReCop (2680) 5 years ago

Indeed, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was amazing... still is!

Back in the 90's they understood tone, and social commentary. Today, it's just hardcore leftist activism... very cringe, very much.

Ahhh, ok if it's fascistic and KKK then?

[–] Wuchak (8079) 5 years ago

Apparently you don't know what 'fascism' is because ANTIFA is ultra-fascist. So they're Leftwing, so what?

Furthermore, I guess you're not aware that the Dems started the KKK, not to mention they were the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, opposed the Civil Rights movement and voting rights.

And don't give me this bogus non-argument that the Dems and Republicans switched since then. Maybe 1% switched, that's about it.

My wife wanted to see this when it came to theaters and we almost went; now I'm glad it didn't pan out. The last thing we want in a film is loony Leftie propaganda, like the overrated and perverse "American Beauty."
