True.He made one of the worst Robin Hood films ever.

He's also a dead ringer physically for Brian Cox's depiction of Logan Roy in Succession...He comes across as a bit of a tosser in interviews but he has been responsible for some of my favourite films so ill forgive him. Gladiator was fucking brilliant. Is he getting Russell Crowe back for the sequel?
And Sweeny with Plan BI occasionally have to look that film up to remind myself that it was real. Surely nobody would have done something that shit?

I also think that Gladiator doesn't really hold up. The action sequences and production design are good, but Maximus is too much of a Mary Sue and the 'politics' is just shit. Derek Jacobi and John Shrapnel are wasted. It should have either been a shorter, sharper action film, or a longer film with more developed subplots.
You have no idea. Imagine the shitest movie you can: it's worse.Had no idea that existed. Looks quite extraordinarily shit.
The Fall of the Roman Empire covers a lot of the same ground and is marginally more historically accurate.The actual story of Commodus would have made a better movie.
Here's someone who's never seen Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham.For Robin Hood you can’t do any better than the Errol Flynn / Michael Curtiz one from 1938 IMO
He isn’t playing Robin Hood thoughHere's someone who's never seen Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham.
