Short version: none of us missed much. Either too silly, or just not silly enough. Or both?
I do agree with Honest Trailers, though: Robin Hood 2058 (‘a “rogue MI5 agent on a mission to avenge injustice” in a dystopian future London”‘) sounds like it might have been fun. It seems to have disappeared into development hell, though. Pity.
This makes it real hard, man.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you: the dumbest movie of 2018.
Via @jeannette_ng. Note that I do not mean ‘dumbest’ as an insult. This is a movie made by people who have heard of historical accuracy, but who have instead decided to pursue an aesthetic typically found in roleplaying campaigns:
From the Big Hollywood review of Robin Hood:
Things open on a promising note. The date is 1199 and Robin (Crowe) is an archer for King Richard who is pillaging his way through France on his way back to England after the Crusades. Nothing happens you haven’t seen a hundred times before in one of these Medieval romps, but Scott knows how to structure, shoot and edit big action set-pieces like few others so the ole’ castle storm is exciting. 140 minutes later, however, you discover the hard way that this is where it all peaked.
Yes. That is precisely what happened in Gladiator
Then you spend the rest of the movie waiting for it to come back. Hell, Scott even used Russell Crowe again, the lazy SOB.
