Welcome to my perfumed garden

Well, I was all keyed up and excited for this new Robin Hood they've been trumpetting for weeks and - we've got Robin as a bloody nobleman, the country's in dire straits because of wicked Prince John and his taxes while 'good' king Richard's away and... yawn. I'd hoped we were getting something new, something real, something that actually had something to say. I mean, I don't mean to be pickiy or anything, but why are the Normans all speaking English (and using long bows) and what was that anime-type bollocks with the swords?

Sheesh.
