I happen to love the movie. If you're a true robin hood fan, you appreciate the love story as well as the main concept of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Well folks,

it all comes down to MONEY:

the producers and studio want to make up for the expense of making the film, AND turn a nice little profit as well. (the chief operating word in the expression "Show Business" is (and I think always be: BUSINESS).

At least it will be entertaining and quite a lot of fun. IF they make some good bucks out of it; then you can be SURE there WILL be sequels: HOWEVER, money meand they can now it start taking the chances they wanted to in the first place. The idea of following the course of The Legend to a conclusion like Magna Carta: now THAT might be worth the less than creative beginning. Time (and the cash register) will tell folks.

The thing about Crowe playing the Sheriff and Robin Hood was stupid. But the original concept — good Sheriff, bad Robin Hood, "Nottingham" — was really cool. And the thing is, that was exactly what Crowe and Scott signed up for. It was only afterward that they went to the studio and said: "You know the movie you're paying us money to make? We're going to make a completely different movie." The arrogance turns me off to the whole project.

This PG-13 movie reeks. At one point it seemed that Crowe and Scott didn’t consider the original concept ridiculous. If true, the earlier reports about Crowe championing Sam Riley for the villainous Robin Hood sort of gave credence to the original idea. In any case, Scott hasn’t made a movie of any consequence since Black Hawk Down – Body of Lies was anonymously directed (they butchered Monahan’s script), American Gangster was stale – so color me unenthusiastic. Oh, wait…now I see why Scott agreed to shot Hood in PG-13…cha-ching.

^Agreed. I was really interested in this when it was 'Nottingham' as well. It may have had its flaws, but at least it was a completely NEW take on some heavily mined material.

This looks absolutely generic and I can't muster any enthusiasm for it.

Thanks for the heads up, corrected. The original concept of "Nottingham" sound far more interesting than this franchise baiting film.
