“Robin Hood” (*** out of four) was a fast and furious origin story of the Prince Of Thieves (Taron Egerton) and his love for Maid Marian (Eve Hewson) which inspires his grass-roots resistance and battles with the evil Sherriff Of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn) and his desire for equality for the poor. Packed with action and tense swordplay and archery but what really makes this work and carries this along is Egerton’s fun and likeable performance, Hewson’s striking beauty and charisma, and a dynamite supporting cast that includes Jamie Foxx, Jamie Dornan, and F. Murray Abraham. Not quite as rousing as the 1991 Kevin Costner version but a definite improvement over the last 2010 Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe version.
