Hugh Jackman's 'The Death of Robin Hood' Lands Divisive Rotten Tomatoes Score

Michael Sarnoski's The Death of Robin Hood is an R-rated reboot that casts Hugh Jackman as a bloodthirsty bandit confronting the consequences of a violent life. Footage shown in the latest trailer released by A24 has teased a murderous medieval thriller that aims to deconstruct the myth.

Critics are split: at the time of writing, the film holds a 65% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 23 reviews, a score that sits just inside the "fresh" range. Reviews lean slightly more positive, calling the film a slow-burning, somber redemption story and a step up from previous theatrical takes on the legend.
