Amazon Prime Video Censorship Claims: Insights on ‘Robin Hood’ 2010 Movie

Have you heard the buzz about Amazon Prime Video supposedly censoring the 2010 film “Robin Hood” starring Russell Crowe? Claims have been making the rounds on social media, suggesting that the streaming service removed some key text from the movie’s opening scroll. Specifically, the missing words set the tone for the story, explaining, “In times of tyranny and injustice when law oppresses the people, the outlaw takes his place in history. England at the turn of the 12th century was such a time.”

But before you start thinking it’s some kind of conspiracy, it turns out that this might just be a mix-up. Amazon clarified that the version missing the quote was actually a mistake in the ultra-high-definition (UHD) version of the film that was delivered to them incorrectly in 2020. They now have the correct version from the provider.

When we did a little digging, we found that the text is showing up as intended on Amazon Prime Video. So, it seems like things are back on track. It’s important to note that there’s no solid evidence to support the theory that this text removal was a deliberate act of censorship, especially considering similar claims from as far back as 2022.

Ultimately, it looks like this whole thing might have just been a technical glitch rather than a political statement. So, next time you’re ready to dive into “Robin Hood” on Prime Video, rest assured that the full story is there waiting for you.
