Robin Hood (1991)

the leading man is my tpye

Best movie ever!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I thought that I was seeing the 2010 version of "Robin Hood" or possibly "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves", but actually it was another movie called "Robin Hood" made in 1991. I guess there wasn't much point in me seeing this. Well, I was confused as I watched this, but I guess at least I got to see a movie of some sort. It was about as uh, mediocre as I thought it would be. Well, I thought I'd be watching the 2010 version or...whatever. Anyway, this version of "Robin Hood" is actually at a pretty good length. I admit that I'm not very familiar with the whole Robin Hood mythos.Are there any actual novels that first depict Robin Hood? Then again, a lot of us aren't even sure if he was real or not. I guess there is a pretty basic common plot with Robin rescuing Maid Marian and them getting married. I thought Friar Tuck was pretty good. I guess I haven't seen that many Robin Hood films, but this one at least had a very well known actress, Uma Thurman, in it. There was nothing that special for me and I feel weird having watch it thinking it was something else. It at least looks like it was made in 2010! **1/2

Whether or not this film portrays English life at the time as "historically accurate" is completely overshadowed by thew dismal acting performances I've seen from any of the main characters. Prochnow's accent was an abomination. Thurman looked like she was reading the script. When Bergen wasn't mugging at the camera he seemed to be trying to imitate Kevin Kline.The writing was sophomoric at best, formula from the start. Yes we all know the tale, but that's no excuse for trivializing it with childish attempts at comedy.I must admit that I got a good laugh from watching it, but it wasn't because of the lame jokes, but how ridiculous the writing and acting were. Don't blame Kostner's heavy handed version for the failure of this 4th rate clown show. It fails quite well on its own.

What the heck is this!!! this movie is the most worst robin hood ever made bad choice of cast! bad acting bad everything! do not watch this movie! but if you do like comedy and medieval thenwatch it if you don't like that just see if you like still i did not like this movie and wish it was never made!!!this movie is about a man who goes on property and says that his name is Robert hood and stuff so then he ends up becoming a outlaw and is wanted and then changed his name to robin hood. this movie is really weird because every time they fight there is comedy and the music does not go along well with the fight scenes and action!

This is by far the best Robin Hood I have seen (since the flashy classic with Errol Flynn). This movie depicts people with feelings and flaws instead of the usual stereotypes. E.g. Robin Hood and Falconet start off as friends and when the break up occurs you actually feel with the "evil" Norman who tries to help Robin but is forced by Robin's pride to outlaw him. The movie has a much more medieval and believable atmosphere than any other I have seen. Together with the interesting characters it just brings you back there into the story. And as things don't always go smoothly and effortlessly for the hero in this movie, it remains interesting and entertaining the whole time. A definite recommendation.
