Acting is not all that great but the message content is. Much of the examples shown are not too far off center based upon my lifetime experiences, training and career. Some of the production is highly exaggerated in respect to it's retaliatory presentation but, of course, it's for the sake of entertainment. I was entertained and found some aspects enlightening.

Absolutely a contender
15 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
In my opinion, this movie is a contender for one of the worse movies I've ever scene. Just my opinion, but....! So, in a sense, this review is, indeed, a spoiler cause anyone who reads it may not rent or buy it cause I consider it such a terrible production. The acting is not that good and the director must have been inexperienced. In short, I'm sorry I rented it.
Bad

In my opinion it has poor acting, poor musical score/effects and its a sorry attempt at trying to interpret Biblical story lines. I cannot believe that it is likely that the events as described in the Bible will ever unfold so brazenly as depicted in this account. Such would have to be more clandestine or everyone would know what is actually happening...and that would defeat the very strategy and tactics necessary for success of the long ago 'prophesied' evil!
Perhaps a well meaning message was intended to be conveyed but there comes a time when people have to stop taking the apocrypha so literal. Scholars and theologians have never been able to make accurate interpretations of Revelation and probably never will.
The Book of Revelation is the "Revelation of "Jesus Christ" and that one point needs to be remembered, otherwise well meaning individuals may do more harm than good in respect to leading people to the awareness needed as the Epistles of Paul so cunningly explain to those 'who have ears to hear'.
I give it a one star rating and I take note that the "McCoy" name is repeatedly in the initial credits to the point of boredom - to even include the aforementioned music. Could vanity enter into the presentation of the credits? To me this repetition just means McCoy must take the bulk of the credit for what I think is a pitiful production.

I am a huge fan of the Robin Hood character and I collect the available movies and TV production episodes when I can get them.
In my opinion this show departs from the legend with bad acting and a terrible script.
I am writing this only half way through episode 1 so I may be premature in judgment but there is a lot to be said about first impressions.
I am going to continue to watch the rest of season 1 to give it a chance and to further my knowledge of the Robin Hood character productions.
That said I do fear that my initial assessment of this series is correct.

I'm sorry but I found this movie 'corny', not entertaining and the vocal performances were not what I call good. Some of the songs performed in the show, themselves, are good tunes when performed by more talented vocalists. One such song is "Some Enchanted Evening". I guess I'm just not a very big fan of any of the 'stars' either. There would have been other picks for the castings in this show that would have probably made it much better. Why this show got such a high rating of 7 stars is beyond me. Maybe I'm at fault here but I just don't credit it as a good musical either in script or performances. Of course that was a different era!

Great Movie
7 March 2013
This was a good, action packed movie with a lot of realistic scenes. In my opinion I thought it was much better than the first version filmed sometime back in the mid 1980's. This movie, like all such movies, tends to stretch the imagination a bit of what could be accomplished in such an actual event but it is exciting to watch. I thought that all the actors did a great job in making their characters seem authentic. I would recommend this film to anyone who liked the original as well as other similar type story lines. In this day and age such an event as the film depicts isn't too unbelievable. I was very pleased with the entire production.

I imagine there are some who may like this movie however I found it to be uninteresting. It reminds me of Cloverfield and the Blair Witch Project and the only thing impressive was the computer generated images. In my opinion the acting was mediocre to good (by most of the cast) but I felt it lacking in many aspects. It had scenes that I felt took away rather than added to the 'suspense' factor. I thought this production was disappointing for the most part. I guess I was expecting more due to the catchy title. Luckily I got it from Red Box and didn't spend too much on it. I'd do the same to preview it before buying it just to see if I would want to invest the money.

Terrible. Ranks among the worse movies I've seen. In my opinion its lousy in respect to just about everything that has to do with a movie. It seems to me that it could be compared to a group of freshman college kids trying to make a movie from a horrible script with inferior equipment. E for effort though! Some of the acting is OK but some is not good at all. It wasn't filmed like Cloverfield or Blair Witch Project with all the bouncing around. What that means is one is not distracted from viewing what I think are all the undesirable elements of this film. So, because of this, attention is drawn to those undesirable aspects. All in all I stick with the E for effort; but, the reality is, in my opinion, it could have been a lot better. Background music and sound doesn't help either. Its not what I call good.

Well....I can't conceive how anyone could make a worse movie! Too bad they don't have a minus no star rating. If that was the case I'd giver it a minus .000000000000001 Star.
I won't give the plot away but it apparently low budget. Actors/actresses are mediocre at best. Filming was shabby at best and many attempts were apparently made to heighten suspense. But that's what they were...attempt.
I don't want to give anyone the wrong opinion but there are very few movies I have seen that I was as displeased with.
I realize I have a 1,000 words but that isn't enough to describe my experience watching it. I can summarize by saying I'd rather watch a buzzard puke.
