If you absolutely have nothing to watch outside of your usual genre, then go watch this. It's lucky it got released at this time of the year where competition is usually scarce.

Why most movie critics loathe this movie ? I think viewers critics really different than the movie buff critics . 🤔

Because creating "different opinions" sells.

Much like the fakenews or yellow journalism or sensationalism.

It is a "more faithful" retelling of the "myth"

It very much reminds me of "A Step into the Past" case.

The HK TVB version back in the 2001 was highly favourable. But that was 17 years ago. THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN, including recording technique, technology usage, and most importantly, esthetic and feel.

The 2018 version is from China.

They hated it because it is different from the novel/book and HK TVB 2001 version. Oh big f-ing deal! lol. I was one of the tiny crowds who are okay with the 2018 version.

East Asia drama has strong "idol" element in these days. The idol element in 2001 is different compared to now.

The dudes in the Robin Hood (2018) review vids that you posted here, do not understand what is "contemporary elements" in old franchises/titles in 2020. You want a good example of that? Check out "Oh My General (2017)". It has a good staunch of contemporary elements and breaking the traditions for good reasons. I'd consider the Sherlock Holmes (2009) and (2011) are good examples too, with some good actions.

Someone made a good review of "Oh My General" but unfortunately, due to copyright issues, it has been taken down.

Sometimes, it is difficult to revisit old franchises. It is difficult to please everyone. And that goes with the saying:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Different strokes for different folks.
One man's treasure is another man's trash.
Everyone appreciates art differently.

P.S. A bit derailed but trying to prove some points.

Y'all taking the movie critics all too serious. First of all, it is not a confirmation bias of masturbating one's opinion. It's only a point of reference and not a decree of consensus benchmark. Ultimately you decide on your own what is good or bad. If your enjoyment rooted in what other people saying about a movie then don't complain the poor scores but look at your own insecurity.

Just accept the fact that Godfather/Citizen Kane will be regarded as the best movie ever in academic sense while Disney movies are the preferred choice for the masses. One is fine dining while the other is your popular McD burger. So stop compartmentalized there are only exclusive to only certain privileged movie goers. Also it doesn't mean you can't enjoy both at the same time or hate one over the other. It's a choice that everyone free to take and not some fake news conspiracy theory.

I agree.

By the way, I'd watched Pacino's Scarface.

Did not recall much.

Was ok I guess.


Love the most was the actresses of course...pure beauty.

But 'Serpico' was boring as shite laugh.gif



Anyways, I am a big fan of the oldies like McQueen and Newman.

Watched their old movies...nice~

I prefer Connery though.

Real life tough guy.

Former bodybuider, experience in bar brawls and street fights.

Tackled six gang members.


Sad he lost hair.
