Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/
Be prepared for a two and a half hour epic! I wasn't sure what to expect out of this movie since I hadn't read any reviews on it. It's the same duo that made "Gladiator" - Ridley Scott and Russel Crowe, so I figured it'd have to be good. I already knew the story, but somehow, the first 45 minutes still confused it. I finally figured out what was going on after a plot turning point. That's also when I decided to turn on subtitles because Russel kind of slurs his words. Anyhow, the last 1:45 wasn't bad. I still prefer the Kevin Costner version better though. Heck, I'll even take the "Men in Tights" version. I think the movie would have been better off if it wasn't Robin Hood since it was very very loosely based on the story that you're familiar with. All they had to do was change the names of the characters, and the movie would have done fine on its own. But anyway, I still recommend the movie if you're a Ridley/Russel/epic movie fan.
