Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Once upon a time, in 1174 England, a flying dragon attacked a man before turning into a young woman's belly. As a result, Robin Hood's father is killed near a giant blue circle in Sherwood Forest. Possibly thinking of the blue hole causes handsome Robin Dunne (as Robin Hood) to wake up a few years later. The flying dragon is still causing problems for Mr. Dunne, along with dastardly Julian Sands (as Malcolm). The dragon turns in and out of attractive Katharine Isabelle (as Alina), probably due to a curse. Erica Durance (as Maid Marian) is also pretty...This story, courtesy of actor-turned-director Peter DeLuise and Syfy Channel fantasy writer Chase Parker, is sometimes difficult to comprehend. The cast is very good looking and adding a dragon to the Robin Hood mythos is an interesting idea. We can't determine much about the giant blue hole. It could be the threshold to dragon world. We do know Dunne keeps the most perfectly trimmed beard in Sherwood Forest. And, everyone has excellent eye make-up. Modern eye make-up really counts for something, especially during the Middle Ages.**** Robin Hood: Beyond Sherwood (11/24/09) Peter DeLuise ~ Robin Dunne, Erica Durance, Julian Sands, Katharine Isabelle
Not even a couple of hours of watching Erica Durance could save this movie. It had all the potential to be a fun and entertaining Sci-Fi flick but fell flat on its face. The actors gave credible performances, the accents weren't too distracting, and the story twist had some promise as well. None of it could breathe life into the amateur production levels. Action scenes looked like they were choreographed in a high school drama class. There's no flow to this movie. Sequences are choppy and the direction lacks vision, passion and accepts uncharacteristic shoddy work from cinematography, to lighting, to sound, etc., etc. Unless you have nothing productive to do with a couple of hours, this is one to be skipped.
This was one of the worst movies I have seen. Must have been first time roles for the actors unless they just grabbed people off the street. The whole movie felt fake and very forced due to the poor acting.The storyline was definitely usable albeit a twist of many movies such as Stargate etc... I don't even know if that part of the movie was needed. It was like 2 short films put together to make a full length film.The cgi was average and the fight scenes were very obviously acted and not believable at all.All in all I would say a huge disappointment. Do not waste your time watching this movie.
When it comes to SyFy even a half-baked idea is better than you'll usually get. So we have Beyond Sherwood, Robin Hood vs. Dragons. Robin, Little John, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Maid Marion, Friar Tuck, and Prince John, all well known characters so we're spared a lot of back story. Somewhere along the way, the Evil Sheriff captured a shape changing Dragon who turns into the girl from Ginger Snaps during the night. He decides to sic it on that pesky Robin Hood finally so that he can usurp Prince John and take over the throne, at least, I think that's what the plot was, it IS a SyFy channel flick. The cast knows their lines, the costumes and sets are pretty cool, and the monster CGI is definitely top of the heap for SyFy. My only problem is when the monster finally does intersect with the characters, we're given this plodding sort of back story about the Tree Keepers or somesuch who live behind a Stargate in the middle of the woods that oddly enough no one has stumbled across before. Can't it just be enough that the Sheriff sics a dragon on Robin Hood? All in all the life story of the monster isn't that important. No need to make it sympathetic. Were we sympathetic for Super Gator, or Mega Shark??? Also, the medieval peasantry seems to take dragon attacks in stride. I'd have liked a little more shock from the Merrymen when a freakin' monster drops outta the sky in their midst and takes a chunk outta Friar Tuck. However, if you're at home on Saturday and flipping channels with nothing to do, there are worse ways to spend a couple hours.
