Robin Hood- A not so Merry Review

Kevin Durand stars as Robin Longstrife in this action packed movie. Fighting, fighting, and more fighting, with all the old time sword and bow combat you'd think this movie would keep any viewer in tune... and yet, there was something about this particular movie that made me wish I were in biology... BIOLOGY! The story followed the classic tale of a king dieing in battle, only to have the crown givin to his younger sibling, by our protaganist, Robin. However he runs into a small trench in the trees with dead bodies sprawled over the ground. He talks to the one still alive... Robin Longstrife.... with Robin's dieing breath, he asks Robin to bring Robins sword to his father Walter, a retired and decorated knight, though not so honored. Robin makes a promice with Robin and after delivering the crown to the younger brother, posing as Robin(now dead). Turns out however, the new king is mean, blah blah, Walter asks Robin to pose as Robin, blah. The Merry group forms and saves people... you may be thinking, "wow, im not gunna waste my time with this movie." Or perhaps, "Then What?" Well if you wanna know what happened next, I fell alseep for the remaining 15 min. of class. I could tell you how it ended but, i'll not ruin it for you. I will say, there are two things and only two that I like in this movie. Those are that it shows power in unity and trust, as well as give a motivational quote, which goes as such, "Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions." You think about it.
