Kevin Costner's lousy English accent is a small obstacle in this often exciting version of the Robin Hood fable. That aside, it's refreshing to have a preface to the old story in which we meet the robber hero of Sherwood Forest as a soldier in King Richard's Crusades, coming home to find his people under siege from the cruelties of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). After Robin and his community of outcasts and fighters take to the trees, director Kevin Reynolds (Fandango, 187) is on more familiar narrative ground, and he goes for the gusto with lots of original action (Robin shoots two arrows simultaneously from his bow in two directions). Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Marion, makes a convincing damsel in distress, and Morgan Freeman brings dignity to his role as Robin's Moor friend. Alan Rickman, however, gets the most attention for his scene-chewing role as the rotten sheriff, an almost campy performance that is highly entertaining but perhaps a little out of sorts with the rest of the film. --Tom Keogh

Not a Costner fan, but I like this movie.
Then again, wasn't Robin Hood really gay?
They were called "The merry men" for a reason people!!!
Robin's sexual orientation aside.......
Good movie.
Historically accurate?
Doubt it.
Who cares, it's a fun woodland romp.
The sheriff is awesome as he always is. I'm sure you've seen him as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies.
The guy rules no matter what the role.
Costner is........nude but I guess they used a body double, thank God!!!
The story is the usual fairy tale, Robin steals from the rich to give to the poor and fights bad guys along the way. You know the drill...........
Morgan Freeman is fantastic, the whole cast is good except for Mariann, who plays the usual helpless damsel in distress nonsense that I hate.
I would have loved to see her give the Sheriff a roundhouse kick to the noggin.
All in all.............. a fun popcorn movie, check your brain at the door, beat em up.
It's a fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you.
Is it a must see?
I say yes, it's a nice change of pace from the usual dark depressing movies Hollywood tosses at us.
Recommended!!!

Kevin Costner: Prince of ..Meh.
You know what I'm talking about; "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn. Comparing that classic film with this Costner drek is like comparing "Road Warrior" with......"Water World"? The Flynn version is fun and light hearted. It has a great score and incredible colors. Costner's version is only pandering to modern sensibilities.C'mon, the movie reeks of political correctness Maid Marion fighting in black armor? Great a strong female character, Morgan Freeman as Robin's sidekick? Hey, the wise token ethnic character.(Sorry Morgan,you were good, but unnecessary)Christian Slater? Stick him in for more youth appeal. This movie adds nothing really to the Robin Hood mythos. If you must watch it, fast forward through any parts that don't feature Morgan Freeman or Alan Rickman.

Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves DVD
This is an awesome movie. I owned it on VHS, but have been trying to replace all my VHS tapes for DVDs. The VCR has been gone for over 2 years now.
