I want my 2 hours back. Seriously considering never watching a Hollywood movie again if Ridley Scott movies are so bad now.

Looked bad from the previews. And after I went in to see Robin Hood thinking it would be awesome, I realized that Ridley Scott can indeed make really ****ty movies.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

It's a decent movie if you have an understanding of the symbolism and myths represented in the film. However, for the average joe viewer, I can understand what you're getting at. Still though, it wasn't as spectacular as I had hoped. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Don't suffer anything at all;
Life exists only a short while
And time demands its toll.

Yet the movie was a braindead action/slasher fest. Now, Ridley's cinematic intuition and the enigmatic David were still a cut above the average flick. But the characters were straight out of a particularly sloppy Friday the 13th sequel, and when you compare the thematic ambition with the thematic execution... well, it's as stark a difference between 2001: A Space Odyssey and the profundity of a student discussion on the first day of religion class in the first year of high school.
It was beautifully directed in spots, but it was also the dumbest, worst written blockbuster I've seen this year.Feathered Nether Regions

Gladiator was the last amazing movie Ridley made (I think, unless I am missing something?). Seems like it was random luck. Everything came together into place perfectly, for the Gladiator movie. It doesn't look like it had anything to do with Ridley's skill (imo).
