Movies: The Girl In The Spiders Web (15) & Robin Hood (12A)

The Girl In The Spiders Web (15) – What’s it about? The story of Lisbeth continues, she takes on another dodgy job and gets caught up in her past.

If you are going to watch this one and you want to be sucked into the universe then its best to look back to the previous movies but I suppose you can watch it stand alone, you shouldn’t get too lost with the plot. It’s as gritty as the previous ones, though no way as graphic as the first one, and the story continues very much in the same style. It’s got a good plot, which is very dark, a good music scene, and it also has some good action and suspense, well it’s basically as expected really. It’s not one to watch if you want a nice happy film though :P

Rating: ****



Robin Hood (12A) – What’s it about? Robin of Loxley returns home after war and becomes the legendary Robin Hood.

I know what you’re thinking ugh another Robin Hood movie, have we not had enough of these already.  Well this one is a little different, it changes the story up a little and it has a bit of a modern take on it, even though it’s still set at some time in the past. That said most Robin Hood movies are a little cheesy in some way and this one even though it is more serious is still filled with quite a bit of humour too, yep it’s pretty cheesy in parts but don’t worry there are no men in tights here! Yeah, it’s an alright movie but nothing special, the story is ok and the action is alright, it’s not like the best movie but it’s something you can just leave your brain at the door and watch for a bit of light entertainment.
