Ridley Scott and pretty much everyone involved in the film keeps calling it Robin Hood done Gladiator style. The more I see of it, the more that seems true. It’s not just Russell Crowe, it’s the look and the tone of the thing too. It’s full of big, inspiring speeches and epic battle plans. Ridley Scott has a template and he’s used it to stamp out another movie. It worked once, why not again?

We have nine, epic clips from Robin Hood in which you’ll see all the things that made Gladiator good and a little bit more besides. Watch more than seven minutes of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator in Tights below and check out our huge gallery of brand new Robin Hood images over here.
