Robin Hood and the Critics

I have been reading all week about how the new movie, "Robin Hood" is NOT a good movie. Most critics say that it is a rip off of "The Gladiators"! They compare characters and say that this a retread with Russell Crowe just doing the same thing again with a different character. My question is, "Why wasn't "Inglorious Basterds" a rip off of Robin Hood? After all they were outlaw soldiers after the mean Germans. Robin Hood was around way longer than me. It predates Star Wars, 7 Samurai, and any other renegades. The critics are mad that it was not the movie they would have made IF THEY COULD MAKE MOVIES!

Critics are lazy. They decide the results before they see them. If they don't like the star (think Tom Cruise) or director (think any PG movie) they hate it sight unseen. Easy Work if you can get it.
