  • The sheriff's attempted rape of Marian is judged badly aged, especially its comic staging and length in a PG-13 adventure; the intended bloodline motivation does not excuse the tonal problem. — Bill Simmons
  • Costner's hair and appearance are criticized; reports of disagreement over whether to use an accent are offered to explain its inconsistency. — Bill Simmons
  • The nude swimming double is discussed as visibly different, with cold-water protection reported as the reason and additional joking speculation.
  • A wish for a more attractive Little John's wife is challenged by the medieval forest setting and her many children; LeBrock and Helen Mirren are hypothetical alternatives. — Bill Simmons
  • The competing Robin Hood film is an aged-worst observation, with its reported gross contrasted with this hit. — Bill Simmons
  • Slater is considered wasted as a resentful Will Scarlet; his charming ad-lib at the end suggests a livelier role, while his career stage offers a possible reason for accepting it.
  • The lack of communication before Robin returns to discover his father's death is joked about as life before postal service.

What’s Aged the Best?

The Rock as a free-agent acquisition

  • The Rock as a free agent acquisition for Fast Five is like Durant to the Warriors ('the rant to the Warriors' as transcribed) but the happy, fun version: a superstar added with no fallout, apart from him and Vin Diesel getting a little snippy on social media.
  • Vince's dramatic return, his feelings hurt over the chip in the car and his slamming of Dom's concept of family with 'how's your family now, Dom? Where's Liddy?' (as transcribed), cuts deep; insulting Vin's concept of family is the worst thing you can do to him, other than maybe insulting his car.
  • Gal Gadot, now one of the most famous actors around, looks unbelievable, and the slow-motion bikini walk at the beach club with Han puts a new group of 13-year-olds through puberty every year; whoever thought of the bank vault dragging through the streets behind two cars should brag about it to strangers forever, imagined as interrupting every introduction of a Fast Five producer.
  • Dom's explanation of the team he needs is recited, a chameleon, a fast talker, surveillance, guys to punch through walls, weapons and two precision drivers who never lose; on the GM scale with Bob Myers and Daryl Morey it is a performance graded A plus, since he knew days ahead he would need someone to open a wall, 'the Daryl Morey of Vice' (as transcribed).
  • Asked whether a winner was picked, one host names The Rock as free agent acquisition, the best version of Durant to the Warriors, likening it to Cheers extending its run by replacing Shelley Long with Kirstie Alley and enlarging Frasier; without new A list blood after Paul Walker's death the franchise could not have continued; the other calls that fair, since The Rock becoming the most famous person in Hollywood made it okay for Helen Mirren to fight a submarine with cars by part eight.
