Robin Hood

The 2010 film Robin Hood is definetly an action and adventure film because within the first nine minutes of it there is already a fight scene.  The action scene in this film is typical for the time period it is set but not for films that are based now or in the future because in this scene they are using medieval weapons such as swords, crossbows, bows and arrows and battering rams.  Instead of films based now where people would probably use more deadly and bigger weapons such as guns and tanks.

In this extract from the film the hero is also met, Robin Hood.  He is the typical hero in this first part of the film a man who fights for the good, right and a man who would risk his life for the inocent.  Him fighting for the good and right is shown by him battleing under the command of the King of England.  Then he shows that he is a man willing to risk his life for the inocent is when I'm guessing a friend gets caught in the gate of the French castle and he runs forwards through the volley of arrows being shot at him to get him down to saftey.

A second man who could be called the hero is King Richard.  In this extract from the film he is the hero because he is leading the English army in to battle and to victory and unlike cowardly generals he is at the front of his troops.  But later in the film he could be called the bad guy because in the text which appears in the extract it says how he is plundering his way to Britain.

This first scene I belive trys to makes the audience feel as if they could trust Robin even thought they know later that he is seen as the bad guy in the eyes of the law he is still a trustworthy man.
