History Film / RobinHood2018

* CompositeCharacter: Jamie Foxx's casting as Little John has caused some to question the realism of a black man being in England in TheHighMiddleAges, but this version of the character is explained to have Moorish background. In other words, he's a mashup of the traditional Little John with the modern trend of having a Moorish/Saracen member of the Merry Men, as seen in modern Robin Hood works starting with ''Series/RobinOfSherwood'', cemented by ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' and continued by other adaptations like the BBC's ''Series/RobinHood''. It's worth noting that he's not the only black person shown: there are multiple amongst the downtrodden of Nottingham.

* AnachronismStew: Some of the outfits and props look rather advanced, like Robin's hoodie jacket and Nottingham's suit with lapels. Nottingham's soldiers also wield riot shields and folding crossbows resembling guns against the Merry Men, who look like modern protesters with {{Molotov cocktail}}s in glass bottles.

Creator/TaronEgerton stars as the [[Myth/RobinHood titular character]], a war-hardened [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Crusader]] with a knack for [[ArcherArchetype archery]]. With the help of Little John (Creator/JamieFoxx) and an [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits outlaw group]] called the [[MenOfSherwood Merry Men]], Robin takes it upon himself to take down the corrupt English crown, which claims the Sheriff of Nottingham (Creator/BenMendelsohn) as one of its enforcers. Creator/JamieDornan, Music/TimMinchin and [[Music/{{U2}} Bono's]] daughter Eve Hewson also star as Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck and Maid Marian respectively.

* {{Expy}}: Will Scarlet is an up and coming politician vying for the position of Nottingham's Sheriff who is also in a LoveTriangle with Marian and Robin. By the end of the film, [[spoiler:Will gets his face scarred by a molotov cocktail and becomes the new Sheriff with implications that he will oppose Robin's actions. He might as well be named [[ComicBook/TwoFace Harvey]] [[Film/TheDarkKnight Dent]].]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The uniforms Robin and other soldiers wear during the Crusades look like medieval versions of modern military uniforms of soldiers in the Middle East.

* SpiritualSuccessor: A highly stylized reimagining of a well-known English legend with intentional AnachronismStew? Pretty much ''Film/KingArthurLegendOfTheSword [[RecycledInSpace except with Robin Hood]].

* MST3KMantra: The movie literally starts with Friar Tuck narrating that he won't try to tell an accurate story for the sake of keeping the audience focused.
