20 Worst Movies Of 2018

2. Robin Hood

Otto Bathurst's Robin Hood aimed to be a sort of Guy Ritchie-inspired retelling of the famous legend, but with a Batman Begins spin to it and aspirations to kick off a franchise, but the look of it. To its credit, the action sequences are occasionally good (aside for some ropey CGI), the cast is great (though the performances mostly aren't) and the production design is mostly good (apart from the weird weapon designs).

Unfortunately, the execution on the whole is a mess and the whole thing is a slog that seems to have been aimed at captivating Call Of Duty players. Every set-piece has a video game level feel to it, the weaponry is given a modern spin like the dumb sci-fi upgrades to the COD series and the script is awful.

What's most insulting is that the script obnoxiously starts by basically saying "think you know this story? Well, you're wrong, you f*cking idiot HAHAHA!" before launching into a version of the story that is neither innovative nor particularly clever. And special mention has to go to Tim Minchin - a delightfully talented musician and comedian - who manages to have about 8 accents at once as Friar Tuck.
