Costner was really strange with his accent on Robin Hood. If you watch close to the beginning of the movie he tried a fake English accent when he saves the boy in the tree. But then during the movie he abandoned the accent. I have to admit I loved that movie though because Alan Rickman was hilarious.
Costner did the same thing Waterworld. Early in the movie he tried some odd accent but mid way through completely abandons it.
Would have been interesting to see a Robin Hood the way Scott originally envisioned...with a sympathetic Nottingham and Robin Hood as the villain. But this still looks good. I am somewhat worried though cause the last "story behind the legend" movie sucked bad (Clive Owen's King Arthur).

I was already thinking that this'll be boring considering Robin Hood's a story that's been milked to death but Russell Crowe!? Still, a Robin Hood story's that serious? I don't get it.

Hey, at least it wasn't Christian Bale as Robin Hood... although the music sounds a lot like Batman Begins, "the acoustic version."
Totally a big fan of Ridley Scott but hated all his movies after Kingdom of Heaven. This movie should be as epic as Gladiator or Kingdom of Heaven. Only wished he would come back to doing scifi.
