Thoughts on Robin B Hood
Thoughts – Robin B Hood is an action comedy seeing two thieves steal and baby, forcing them to look after the baby while trying to stay away from the people chasing them down. This will have the big message about doing the right thing as both the thieves need to learn to live an honest life. Jackie Chan and Louis Koo are both great together, showing the comedic timing to get the laughs through the film, while Chan and his team handle more of the action involved. It does feel like a longer movie than it needs to be, clocking in over 2 hours, which seems a bit much for an action comedy, but when we get the action sequences, they will have laughs along the way which only adds to the perils we find the characters in.
Final Thoughts – Robin B Hood is a funny action comedy, with great sequences throughout.
