Nerd Thoughts

Recently I got in one of my moods again where I deep dive on Amazon Prime and watch any random movie that catches my attention, and Robin of Locksley was one of the winners. Normally, I avoid shows and movies before the 2000s because I have a very hard time handling the low-qualityness (especially compared to now) of old stuff. But I’m such a sucker for Robin Hood retellings, so I had to watch this one.

First things first, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I thought I was going to be cringing a lot more from the sheer 90s of it, but besides the hair and whatever they called the “internet,” it wasn’t cringy at all. Although I couldn’t help being utterly confused by the “hacking” if that’s even remotely what hacking was like back in 1996. I am so used to the high-tech hacking and tech of modern times that I kept having to remind myself that it was waaaaay different back in the early days of the internet.

While I did wish it was a little more actiony, I thought this movie did pretty well bringing in all of the details of the Robin Hood story into a modern setting. So, I would have to give it a 6.5 out of 10.
