Robin Hood is one of those legends that people have heard about, but almost never read the source material. Yet because he's such a cultural shorthand, Hollywood feels the need to do a "different" spin on it to keep things "fresh", but really it just muddies the waters on what Robin Hood actually represents. It's been decades since anyone has even attempted shooting it straight.
