The movie picked up in France as King Richard was plundering his way back from the disastrous Crusades.
Robin a disillusioned soldier is looking for something to believe in a new cause if you will.
He stumbles into a quest to return the Sword of a fallen knight to it’s rightful owner and also a Crown. the movie does not disappoint though the ending is a little bit too corny.
A very strong cast of characters make a flawed script believable, and of course Marion and the Merry men come along for the ride.
All in all Russel Crowe does not disappoint; not quite a Gladiator or Master and Commander but we will definitely watch this one again.
Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as “Robin Hood,” whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness.
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power.
Whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol for freedom for his people.

Goofs
- Factual errors: Catholics did not burn the bodies of loved ones during this time period.This was not allowed because of similarities to pagan rituals.
- Anachronisms: When the French stage their landing on the English coast, they are brought on shore by boats that look suspiciously like Higgins boats that were used in the D Day invasion of Normandy, except that they are powered by rowers.Higgins boats and their characteristic opening bow, were not to be invented for another 750 years.
- Continuity: In the battle when the French fleet land the sky varies between shots as blue, dull gray, or mixed white clouds.
- Factual errors: A title card identifies the historical period as the “turn of the 12th century,” but the story actually takes place around 1200 A.D., the turn of the 13th century.
- Anachronisms: When Robin dances with Marian the band in the village plays the tune ‘Women of Ireland’, written by Sean O’Riada in the late twentieth century and used in the film Barry Lyndon (1975).
- Errors in geography: Many “cities in the North” are being ransacked and burnt, but Peterborough is not a city in the North of England.
- Anachronisms: In the depiction of York, a stone minster is clearly in view, even though the first (and current) stone Minster was not completed until three centuries later.
- Factual errors: When Robin and his men are on the ship from France to England, they are drinking out of glass goblets.Glass was very expensive, and would never have been used on a ship.
Instead, they’ve have had pewter or wooden drinking vessels.
- Factual errors: In reality, Richard died in the arms of his mother, after a wound from an arrow became gangrenous.
- Continuity: When riding to board the boat in France, Robin’s horse is already wet from the mid tail down, while the other horses are dry.
- Factual errors: Queen Eleanor is shown hunting with an owl.Owls were not used in falconry, as they hunt by sound and not sight.
A Queen (or King) would have used a Ger Falcon.
- Anachronisms: When the French king is preparing to land on the English Coast, he is told that they would land in “about 40 minutes”. Time was not measured in minutes at that time.The closest they could tell was before mid-day or after mid-day.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Several characters speak of seed corn.Many viewers interpret this as maize which wasn’t introduced to england until the 15th or 16th century.
However, the word corn in 1199 england was used for many different cereal grains (wheat, rye, oats, etc.), not the corn on the cob we think of today.
- Anachronisms: During the period in which this film is set, rulers would not have been called “Your Majesty,” a term of address that was created in Tudor times. Earlier kings were addressed as “Your Grace.”
- Factual errors: King Richard the Lionheart spoke very little English in real life.His father was French and Richard spent a significant portion of his life in France.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Little John’s accent kept changing from a Scottish accent to an Irish accent throughout the movie.
we spotted that one! - Revealing mistakes: The size of Robin’s childhood handmark on the carved stone when we see Robin’s memory fits the size of his hand as an adult.
- Anachronisms: King Richard snaps at someone not to mollycoddle him.The word “mollycoddle” has its origins in the 19th century.
