FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Eric Stevenson 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
Leofwine_draca Okay, let's get this straight: just because ROBIN HOOD is more realistic and less bombastic than Kevin Costner's ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES from the same year, that doesn't make it any good. It might be a more traditional film, but I actually prefer the Costner version, despite the many faults, errors and cheesiness, purely because it's a lot more fun.ROBIN HOOD gets a lot more of the facts right but it's lacking as a decent piece of drama, mainly because the characters, although carefully depicted, are all rather unlikeable. That's particularly true of Patrick Bergin, whose Hood, all wild eyes and wilder hair, appears to be something of a sociopath instead of the folk hero of old; I just can't buy Bergin in good-guy roles, and that's the same here. Stick to SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, buddy.The supporting actors are better, with one exception. Jurgen Prochnow is less hammy but no less amusing than Alan Rickman in the Costner version, and it's always good to see Jeroen Krabbe in Hollywood fare. Owen Teale, Danny Webb and David Morrissey are all good choices as Merry Men. The exception is Uma Thurman, who's terribly miscast as Marian; the scenes in which she disguises herself as a boy are excruciating.Other than that, the script is overlong and underwritten and the action scenes just aren't very exciting. The sets and costumes are decent though, so it's just a shame that more effort couldn't have gone into making this a rousing swashbuckler of old. Instead it's a dour, uninspiring and ultimately forgettable version of a classic story.
ace_mccool-629-721168 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.
addison olijnyk 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!
