The best Robin Hoods were Errol Flyn and Richard Todd.
A fucking yank washing ashore on the Sussex or Kent coast with his token black and then turning up outside fucking Nottingham was absolute shyte, as was the acting of the pair of twatts. Costner was good in Dancing with Wolves and Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption, but English folklore, fuck. Dick Van fucking Dykes cockney accent was better.

we just had a a few spiderman films and they now want to reboot !!
we had superman retuens and they want to reboot
they want to remake lethal weapon without riggs and murtagh
pet cemetary to be remade
i could go f'in on.
For cring out loud, they make this shit, but could they maybe run it past someone first. At least TRoN legacy was an exception , it was a great sequel, but seriously, some films should never have follow ups.
Hollywood will never learn. There is no recession in Hollywood as long as there is money to make pure sh1t.

Christopher Nolan's Batman was a remake / reboot and brilliant. The sequel was even better. Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant was a remake / riff on Abel Ferrara's original and in a class of its own. Last House On The Left and Piranha were remade recently and were both great. Most people think Toy Story 3 was the best of the bunch. Yes, lots of Hollywood stuff is rubbish. But with a bit of research it's not hard to sniff out the good stuff and ignore the rest.

You forgot to mention that they crossed Hadrians Wall on the way to Nottingham, it must have been much longer in the old days.
And do I recall KC saying to MF that (either an the Beach or on the Wall) "we'll be home by teatime", they were 600 years out on the timeline there.
