Since I'm revisiting much-maligned 2000s war epics, I gotta say I rewatched Robin Hood 2010 recently and it did not deserve the lambasting it got. I feel like at the time people complained it was too gritty and bloated but like??? Compared to what we get now??? It's downright jolly, and man they used every cent of that big budget for gorgeous sets and costumes. Plus you get a guhREAT Cate Blanchett--she carried the whole movie for me, honestly, she's such a wizard--ultra-classic Mark Strong, whippersnapper Oscar Isaac (supporting role by Oscar Isaac's bare ass, A+, 10/10, a joy to have in class), baby Luke Evans as like Thug Number 6, Matthew Macfadyen so slimy you forget he's Matthew Macfadyen, Russell Crowe... pretty much the same as every Russell Crowe tbh (STAND DOWN Aubreyad fam), a half-dozen other greats that you know and love
AND!!!!!!!

My boy!!!! THE boy, even! Alan Doyle as Alan-a-Dale!!! Casting saw that chance and they TOOK it! This is the movie that Bully Boy comes from, which I DO listen to weekly and I WILL belt out given the slightest provocation. Am I singing it now? IT'S LIKELY!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Kingsman: The Secret Service turns ten years old in 2024.
We should organise some sort of birthday event. I feel old.

Some 1996 (ITV) Mr Knightley (Mark Strong) propaganda, because my poor man is going to need it, whoever it is that he goes against.
People have objections about this version of the character. I understand them. I'm gonna try to add some perspective to them, and then go for actual pros that I think should be considered!
First, the two lines of horrors about baby Emma. My only defense, I plead at the jury, is... should be blame character and actor for screenplay writer Andrew Davies' crimes?
Second, this Mr Knightley is too angry/forceful. Well, Mark Strong agrees with you! in The Making of Jane Austen's Emma, he says that "At this point I worried that, because I was always having a go at Emma, the audience might not see the love behind it". He also thinks that a lot of that emotionality is driven by Knightley starting to feel things he'd never felt before, and not knowing how to deal with them: "He’s probably going home in the evening and thinking, 'Why on Earth did I do that? What is happening?’"
From there to the beloved scene of 2020 Mr Knightley arriving home and throwing himself on the floor, there isn't a step, even. In that way, this version of Knightley was very influential for both adaptations that came after; 2009 takes from it the emphasis on the aspect of Knightley being an engaged administrator of his estate, rather blunt at times, but always kind to those that depend on him.
Besides all this, you must acknowledge his exasperated delivery of the "His aunt is in the way. His aunt dies!!!" speech is hilarious :P
On with the pros!
This Knightley takes an interest on the servants' lives, knows them by name and always greets them when he arrives at Hartfield.
The way he says "excuse me, sir" to Mr Elton after he snubbed Harriet is glorious:
Tumblr media
He has some moments of subtle acting that I love, like this exchange of glances with Emma about Mrs Elton:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(in general I feel he has great chemistry with Emma whenever they are having A MomentTM, but YMMV). He has this way of dissolving a stern face into a lovely smile when he sees her:
Tumblr media
The way his voice breaks when he finishes delivering the "badly done" speech after Box Hill
His reactions DURING the Box Hill scene:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His smile at Miss Bates' self deprecating joke!
Tumblr media
His disappointment at Emma's hurtful comment!
Tumblr media
His concern for Miss Bates!
He has merits! And lovely green eyes.
Sorry but I adore you and your true dedication to the cause - I have added this to the Mark Strong Mr Knightley Propaganda under his poll but will post the full ask here too!
Mr Knightley (1996) Vs Mr Bingley (2005)

“why is it so difficult for you to accept a compliment?” With him please 🥰❤️
Tumblr media
“Why is it so difficult for you to accept a compliment?” Hamish whispers against your jaw, your head tipping back into the cushions of the couch as his lips trail lower, ghosting over the curve of your throat. “To understand how alluring you are.”
His body covers yours, firm and unrelenting. His fingertips undo the buttons of your shirt, the fabric parting as his mouth delves lower, brushing over the curve of your breasts.
“So fucking perfect.” He murmurs in that Scottish lilt of his, his tongue trailing over the white scar indented in your flesh.
He maps you out with his mouth, seeking out those deviant little spots, the ones that drive you crazy. He’s always so attentive, so passionate, so loving. His fingers grasp at the waistband of your trousers, his heated breath teasing across your skin as he looks up at you, those dark eyes full of yearning.
“Let me show you how beautiful you really are.”
