Just pretend like it's a middling medieval drama/adventure movie starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett (who's spectacularly underused), with some very vague connections to the Robin Hood legend. Everything is changed about, added too, and embellished beyond recognition.

While battling the Nottingham Sheriff, Robin Hood and his band of merry men are slain. Distraught over these horrific turn of events Marian and Little John attempt to resurrect Robin and his comrades with disastrous results.

Does the film attempt to incorporate the Robin Hood legend into the history of Magna Carta? Yes, the film alludes frequently to a grand charter that Robin's father wrote and which many of the barons signed.
