I thought it was good, but maybe that is because I am a sucker for that time period and Ridley Scott himself. The pacing was kept throughout and the writing was good, not to mention the acting. I don't know why this movie was so poorly received, as it was a new take on the same old story that no one ever dealt with (the beginning of Robin Hood). Jenny thought it was a lot too long and had way too many characters and storylines to keep up with.
