The famous Robin Hood is back but this time it is much more serious. The Death of Robin Hood with Hugh Jackman in the role is now available to rent on Prime Video in English, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
This movie is. Written by Michael Sarnoski. It takes a different approach to the known story of Robin Hood. Of showing the usual brave outlaw who takes from the rich and gives to the poor this version shows Robin Hood during a much darker and more challenging time in his life.
Hugh Jackman plays Robin Hood as a man who is hurt and must deal with the past and the results of the life he has lived. The story is based on the 17th-century ballad “Robin Hoods Death” so do not expect an adventure film.
The movie also has a cast. Jodie Comer plays a part with Jackman while Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe are in the film too. With this group of actors the movie definitely has more than a regular historical action story.
What makes The Death of Robin Hood different is its mood. The movie is said to be like a thriller and character drama focusing on the final chapter of Robin Hood instead of the full legend. This gives the known character a more serious and emotional side.
Jackman is also different here than the roles that people are used to. His Robin Hood feels tired, broken and more like a person. The movie spends time looking at the man behind the legend which could be the reason to watch it.
The movie might not be for people who want a normal Robin Hood adventure with sword fights and action. This is a serious and gloomy version with the story focused on the characters and Robin Hoods final days.
Final Verdict
The Death of Robin Hood looks at one of the famous folk heroes in a completely new way. Hugh Jackman leads the movie with a performance while Michael Sarnoski brings his own style to the classic legend.
If you like thrillers, historical dramas and new ways of showing well-known characters this could be something worth watching this weekend.
