Hugh Jackman does the Old Man Robin Hood thing in this movie about Robin Hood grappling with his past after a life of crime and heroism catches up with him. Jackman turns in a weathered,weary and intense performance.He is in denial of being a legendary hero and proves his brutality in a couple of shocking scenes. He portrays Robin as a man seeking exoneration and it works when he's connected to people from his past and present including prioress (Jodie Comer) I did like the visual nods to prior Robin Hood stories.Haunting and brutal imagery makes the first half very involving. The bleakness works for awhile and goes hand in hand with Robin's psyche. I did enjoy the alternate universe this is how it really was vibe.
PROBLEMS :The second half was tough to get through. Watching a clip of the movie earlier this week i got the feeling the pacing would be an issue for me and it definitely is at a crawls pace throughout the movie with dwelling scenes of intense glares and silent moments laced with mournful music.
