Netflix fans all watching 'incredible' action film that remakes a legendary tale

Netflix viewers can’t stop watching a ‘must-see film’ that offers a ‘fresh spin on a classic’.

The 2018 release, Robin Hood, has surprisingly become one of the most viewed titles on the platform, despite a meagre 14% rating.

At present, it holds the second spot in the top ten films most watched by subscribers in the UK, nestled between recent releases Tyler Perry’s Straw at the top and French action thriller K.O. in third place.

Robin Hood is a radical reinterpretation of the timeless tale of the outlaw who robbed from the rich to give to the poor.

In this rendition, Taron Egerton, known for his roles in Kingsman, Rocketman and Carry-On, portrays Lord Robin of Loxley.

He seeks revenge after returning from the Third Crusade only to discover that the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham, played by Rogue One’s Ben Mendelsohn, has declared him dead and seized all his property, reports Surrey Live.

According to Empire’s review of the film, Robin’s journey mirrors that of Bruce Wayne becoming Batman. Egerton’s portrayal of the character even earns him the nickname ‘The Hood’.

He is trained by Jamie Foxx’s character Yahya or John. Meanwhile, Robin also attempts to win back his girlfriend Marian, played by Eve Hewson, who later starred in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple.

Marian is now involved with another man, Will Scarlet, portrayed by Jamie Dornan, who is actually a member of the Merry Men in the original tales.

Despite a tepid reception from critics, Netflix’s latest film has won over audiences with its fresh spin on the Robin Hood legend. Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration, with one enthusiast proclaiming: “This is a must see movie. Its a new take and twist of the classic tale of Robin Hood and breathes life into the legend once again. It might not be the most historically accurate remake of the tale but that is part of its charm.”

The fan elaborated: “Solid stunts and despite all the hate the movie has endured none can question the hard work and love the whole cast and crew put into it. Their extraordinary archery skills are way beyond just CGI. In fact they were trained by famous archer Lars Anderson and can more than handle themselves around a bow and arrow.”

Another viewer was equally impressed, stating: “I thought this film was incredible. An amazing new take on a classic. The immense number of Robin Hood films were starting to repeat one another and it was frankly getting tired, but this brought the movies back alive for younger audiences that perhaps haven’t been too engaged in the previous versions. With a brilliant cast, some of which are popular, well known actors, and others who are rising stars, I think the production is incredible.”

One bold claim came from a fan who suggested: “Outside of the legendary (Disney) cartoon, this is the best Robin Hood out there.”

Meanwhile, another shared their surprise at the quality of the film: “It was so much better than expected. It was a different take on the old Robin Hood movies.”

However, not all viewers were impressed. One disgruntled film-goer echoed the negative reviews, stating: “Everything was just as bad as the trailer promised. Don’t watch this unwatchable piece of garbage. It will haunt your eyes forever.”

Robin Hood is streaming on Netflix.
