The ghost of Errol Flynn hangs heavily over this movie. It would
be bad enough trying to do a standard remake of the Merry Man's
adventures; a re-imagination that changes the story in significant ways
asks a lot of the audience. Not that this film is bad; there's much to
recommend it, including a lot of authenticity and good performances by
leads Crowe and Blanchett. But even so, you walk away feeling that
something is missing here. A tough call--probably worth a look, but no
guarantees.
