My point entirely...

Robin Hood...well it was years before I could watch that beyond the ludicrous opening sequence when KC announces , at Dover, "tonight we dine at my father's house in Nardingham", the realities of 12th century transportation being overlooked along with basic geography since they went via Hadrian's wall - about as scenic route as you could get while remaining on the same island. Even Shadowfax couldn' t have done that...

Sure, Kevin Costner got panned for his less than believable British accent, but for if you have a tin ear in regards to accents (like most 'Mericans), it mattered not. I still like the movie and find it 100% accurate, factual and believable, given my knowledge of things therein and minuscule attention span.

Surely Andy Serkis could pull something out of his throat for Smaug.
