They were all rubbish! Robin Hood took it to another level though. One minute Crowe was Scottish, then Irish, then English then he seemed to create his own weird accent. It was so annoying I couldn't follow the film because I was constantly trying to decipher what accent he was using. I can only recall one more film with such a poor attempt at pulling off a foreign accent and that was Di Caprio in Blood Diamond. He said 'eh,eh,eh' at the end of every sentence. I work with a South African bloke and he doesn't feel the need to add that to the end of every sentence.

Rant over, I have no idea whatsoever about the link you refer to. Not a particularly useful post. Sorry

Easy answer - Mark Strong.

He's in everything at the moment

i agree robin hood wasn't a classic but i must admit the accents didnt really bother me and i like the fact they tried something different with the story but your right it didnt come of as well as i hade hoped

Daveee:They are all rubbish?

Kick Ass is awesome

I do believe Robin Hood is really bad so never bothered with it. Ill reserve judgement for Sherlock

kick ass is a great film,sherlock was good i would watch it again.as for robin hood i didnt hate it but im not sure i would want to see it again for a while.it could be that i was expecting it to be really bad after all the reviews and it was better than expected but not necesserily good

Very generous indeed, I didn't see that answer coming until Clare pointed it out. I blame the alcohol-film link, I tend to have a wee tipple when watching a movie at home. Positives of that are forgetting the poor films, the negatives are I am useless at film trivia

I wonder if there's a connection between Mark Strong and the observation that "they're all rubbish"? He's also a regular Guy Ritchie collaborator, which hardly enahnces his reputation in my book! I'm perhaps being a little unfair, Kick Ass was one of the better examples of the slew of comic book films of late. Haven't people become tired of comic book adaptations yet? Evidently not, as the cover of this month's Empire announces the imminent arrival of THOR! in garish bold lettering.

Just got Robin Hood on BR. Thought it was meant to be good!! Just got to wait for the player to arrive now.

Mark Strong is a very good actor in my book. Our Friends In The North was brilliant and by the way, I loved Sherlock Holmes.

For the record, I wasn't seriously having a go a Mark Strong's acting abilities, I was simply being flippant. He's been in a fair few bad movies (as well as some good ones), however, so perhaps he should be a little more discerning when chosing roles. There are several terrible practitioners of the acting profession at work today. I wouldn't list Mark Strong among them.

I was also expressing boredom with comic book films (it seems every third film released these days is a comic book adaptation).
