Movie Review! =)


Ah.. i know it's been a long time (again) since i updated my blog.

Hmm. what can i say about my life all these while?

Well, I'm sure those who keep track with my blog or maybe my recent news know that I'm not in a pretty good luck recently. Many things happened, i won't deny that fact and I'm struggling to keep my head straight. Exam's coming soon(again)... yea babeh! @@

Anyways, just watched "Robin Hood" with Russ last night. Although Ip Man 2 and Iron Man 2 are awesome, I personally still favors RH more. Why? hmm..
Let me share with you guys whats the story is mainly about lah. heh

It's about an archer (which is obviously RH) who served under Richard the Lion Heart till the king was killed during crusades. Then, RH disguised as one of the knights that are responsible to deliver the crown back to London. Prince John was then crowned as the new king and he caused riots to revolved around London due to his cruel taxation method. He sent Godfrey ( which is a betrayer) to Northern areas to collect taxes in violent ways without noticing that Godffrey was actually a traitor to London that had evil plans behind.

After the truth has been revealed, King John finally agreed to allow liberty if and only if the whole kingdom reunite to defend London against the French's invasion. Robin Hood was the legendary guy that suggested this strategy and agreements as well as led the war. FInally, the French retreated.

Unfortunately, the King broke his promise in letting the different states to gain liberty and even sentenced Robin Hood to death.
King John manipulates the story around by accusing Robin Hood for being the troublemaker that caused all these riots and catastophes to happen.


Aside from that, he used the excuse of Rh disguising as a knight as a reason for the whole London to track him down as a criminal.

In the end, RH managed to escaped with Lady Marrion. He had no ways to back himself up except from running away and vanished from the city.

That is where the legendary story of Robin Hood starts where he rob the rich to feed the poors. =)


mmm... managed to save a kingdom, only to become the world's most notorious outlaw?
Irony much. No?

A story of a legendary anti-hero. Love how the plot differs from other heroic movies.
that's about it ba.

all in all, i give it 8/10 lah. lol.




hmm.. feeling pretty jaded right now. Off for a short rest first.



Will be back for more updates with pictures, of course! ;)
