Robin Hood poster

Movies that feel likeRobin Hood (2010)

When soldier Robin happens upon the dying Robert of Loxley, he promises to return the man's sword to his family in Nottingham. There, he assumes Robert's identity; romances his widow, Marion; and draws the ire of the town's sheriff and King John's henchman, Godfrey.

If you loved Robin Hood, the closest films we have are Gladiator II (2024), The Assassin (2015) and Ong Bak 3 (2010). All three share Robin Hood's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kingdom of Heaven (2005).
