Skimmed through the last half hour of this. It's a charmless collection of tropes that don't make sense in this movie: the training montage (where he learns to be good with a bow despite having fought with one for years); all the rich people dressed like people from Panem in The Hunger Games (despite this being set in the 12th century); the hero not telling the love interest about his plan to steal from the rich to give to the poor (despite her having been doing that before he ever was). The Will Scarlett character doesn't make sense for most of the movie until you realise that in what is now standard overly-optimistic franchise-seeding, he's being set up as Sheriff Of Nottingham Mk II. Most bizarre of all though is that it not only lifts the idea of an Arabic sidekick from Prince Of Thieves, it also casts an African-American in the role!
