Ink of Blood

(This review may contain spoilers).

I think I liked this film better on my second viewing than I did on the first. I didn’t recall much of my first viewing of this, other than that I didn’t like how little it kept to the original legends.

I did like Russell Crowe in this film. I felt a lot of the actors did quite a good job with the characters they played. It was good how Prince John came across more as a sympathetic character… at least for parts of the film.

I didn’t really understand why there were orphans in the Greenwood. I didn’t feel that was explained very well.

It was good to see some of the recognisable figures from the original legends, though I didn’t see all of them. The actor who played Friar Tuck is good, but I feel like he’s often typecast.

There was a lot of action in this film, but I thought it was also good how the character relationships were developed as well. My friend and I were watching it with audio description and although the audio describer kept disappearing at awkward moments, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
