Hugh Jackman’s ‘The Death of Robin Hood’ Lands Divisive Rotten Tomatoes Score
Robin Hood is one of the most frequently adapted legends in literary and cinematic history. The timeless tale has been reimagined dozens of times across film, television, literature and theater, with the world-famous outlaw often depicted as a romanticized hero who steals from the rich to give to the poor. However, the latest retelling of the folklore – Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood – is positioned as an R-rated reboot with Hugh Jackman taking on the role of the legendary archer. Only this time, he is depicted as a bloodthirsty bandit grappling with the consequences of his violent life, rather than a celebrated champion of the people.
