Our take
This origin-style Robin Hood spends long stretches in muddy battles with arrows, swords, and bodies falling in fields. Romance with Marion stays mostly restrained, while tavern talk uses b-word and hell as insults. Wine shows up at meals and sieges. We land at 14 and up because the combat is frequent, grounded, and sometimes bloody, even when the hero is on the right side
Uplifting themes
Standing up for farmers, sharing power with the people, and keeping oaths matter to this Robin. The film still ends in bloodshed Robin protects the vulnerable and listens to Marion's counsel. King John and some nobles show how power corrupts, giving contrast
Story (may spoil tone)
When soldier Robin happens upon the dying Robert of Loxley, he promises to return the man's sword to his family in Nottingham. There, he assumes Robert's identity; romances his widow, Marion; and draws the ire of the town's sheriff and King John's henchman, Godfrey.

Talk after watching
- Robin pretends to be someone else to protect a widow's home. When does a lie serve the community, and when does it cause harm?
- Village scenes show ordinary people paying for royal wars. What does the film want you to feel about who bears the cost of fighting?
