The Death of Robin Hood, starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd, is getting a positive reception from most Rotten Tomatoes critics.<\/p>\n
Opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, The Death of Robin Hood stars Jackman<\/a> as the legendary title character, who is gravely injured during a battle. Tormented by a past involving crime and murder, Robin Hood finds a chance at salvation as he\u2019s recovering from his wounds while in the care of a mysterious woman named Sister Brigid (Comer<\/a>).<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Obsession\u2019 On Verge Of Hitting Another Global Box Office MilestoneBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n Rated R, The Death of Robin Hood is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski<\/a> (A Quiet Place: Day One, Pig).<\/p>\n As of Thursday, The Death of Robin Hood has earned a 71% \u201cfresh\u201d critics\u2019 score on Rotten Tomatoes\u2019<\/a> Tomatometer, based on 79 reviews. RT\u2019s Critics Consensus, Audience Summary and Popcornmeter rating based on verified user ratings are still pending.<\/p>\n What Are Individual Critics Saying About \u2018The Death of Robin Hood\u2019?<\/p>\n Richard Whittaker of the Austin Chronicle is among the top critics on RT<\/a> who gives The Death of Robin Hood a \u201cfresh\u201d score. Whittaker writes in his RT review summary, \u201cSarnoski\u2019s script doesn\u2019t needlessly insert darkness into Robin Hood. It\u2019s always been there, and his version of the outlaw is in communion with all those other retellings.\u201d<\/p>\n Cary Darling of the Houston Chronicle also gives The Death of Robin Hood a fresh score on RT, writing that it\u2019s \u201ca brutal, downcast, haunting and ultimately moving film from director\/writer Michael Sarnoski … And Jackman turns out to be the perfect embodiment of his taciturn, troubled protagonist.\u201d<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018House Of The Dragon\u2019 Season 3 Rotten Tomatoes Reviews High On Series\u2019 New EpisodesBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n Ian Freer also gives the new Robin Hood tale a \u201cfresh\u201d score on RT, writing, \u201cYou might feel you\u2019re done with Robin Hood — takes from the rich, gives to the poor, yadda yadda yadda \u2014 but Michael Sarnoski\u2019s film finds new textures and humanity in the stock figure.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikki Gemmell of The Australian also deems The Death of Robin Hood \u201cfresh,\u201d but with some reservations, noting that the film has \u201cmeticulous costuming, haunting score, stunning cinematography. Yet the introspective script doesn\u2019t quite live up to the pedigree of the filmmaking craft on display; it\u2019s a touch slow.\u201d<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Toy Story 5\u2019 Rotten Tomatoes Reviews Cheer New Chapter In 31-Year-Old StoryBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n Kyle Smith of The Wall Street Journal is among the top critics on RT who gives The Death of Robin Hood a \u201crotten\u201d score. Smith writes in his RT review summary, \u201cAfter the early violence, the movie settles into a kind of pondwater stasis. It\u2019s as if Mr. Sarnoski couldn\u2019t devise any dialogue to suggest the transformation he wants us to believe is under way and settles for a series of dramatically inert scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n Katie Walsh of the Tribune News Service isn\u2019t a fan of the new Robin Hood movie either, writing in her \u201crotten\u201d RT review summary, \u201cDespite all the mud and blood, nothing about this film is particularly earthy or embodied. It ends up as this profoundly dull and utterly pointless commentary on the concept of narrative and mythology.\u201d<\/p>\n
