If It's Merry Men and Seven-Layer Dip, It Must Be a Robin Hood Super Bowl Ad

Our ongoing efforts to free up your Sunday afternoon by posting the most essential Super Bowl movie commercials continue with this ad for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, a decidedly BraveHeartier take on the legend of the famed medieval outlaw. Had you seen the first trailer, you were already well aware that this wasn't your tights-wearing-father's Robin Hood, as Scott offers a (wait for it) darker, grittier take on the story we think we know. If you've missed Russell Crowe as the archetypal scowling warrior, then join him and his band of Surly Men on their royal-looting adventures. We'll even throw in Cate Blanchett on horseback!

Verdict: THIS! IS! SHERWOOOOOOOD! Or something.
