There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Okay, the 1980s Robin of Sherwood series and in particular Michael Praed's performance as Robin set an unattainable standard in comparison to which any new shot at the material is bound to fall short. But they may have at least tried a bit harder. Whose decision was it to portray Robin as a smug, vain, self-assured womaniser? Why do the costumes look like something recently ordered from a "Cool Urban Gang Wear" catalogue? Those guys are just returning from a crusade, aye right, they look more like they're on their way to a night out with the blokes. Why does the camera take such care to show us that the "seasoned fighter returning from the crusades" has delicate hands like a noble lady? Why is there a medieval woman with a perm and heavy modern make-up, who lives with a "father" barely ten years her senior? Why is there a guard on the watchtower who looks like a dwarf escaped from the LOTR franchise? And why is said watchtower designed in such a way as to impale the guard should he try to move? Why does Robin patronise his old friend in the village by constantly stating the obvious ("Jane. Your good, strong wife.")? Why is Gisborne wearing biker's attire? And why is he so surprised to find out Robin's identity if two minutes later he claims that he's seen him fight before? What's with the epic!music merely to show two characters riding up to a house for a friendly visit? I watched twenty-five minutes of this garbage and then I couldn't stand it anymore. What is this even supposed to be? An action comedy? Was it supposed to be funny? All the jokes fell flat. Was Gisborne supposed to seem menacing? He seemed constipated. Was Robin supposed to come across as a decent man who feels outrage at the wrongs done to his people? He came across as fake. Having a ridiculous and pointless side-kick didn't help. And the side-kick didn't get any more likable just because he greets a bit to the sound of swords clashing in the background, so that the audience will say, "Ah, PTSD!" Will I tolerate this? No. Twenty-five tedious minutes are enough.

I am emotionally crippled by the Series 3 finale! I haven't cried as much at a T.V programme in a long time! The emotion came from knowing the characters from day 1, (being the avid watcher I am!) I have watched these characters develop (especially Much) and you feel you're going through everything with them. The story lines for Series 3 have been absolutely phenomenal compared to the last series! As much as it kills me to say it, Series 2 was not as great as it could have been, but series 3 has raised the bar! An utter triumph! I wasn't too keen on the Irish storyline from episode two it did not really develop or go anywhere or the silly love story with Kate and all the boys in the gang in episode 9 - (a bit silly) but the last 4 episodes were breathtaking.The introduction of Archer was the best thing about this series.That gorgeous hunk is precisely what RH was missing (a bit of Errol Flinn) The actor who plays Archer is electric and I'm sure is going to be a huge star...is he the real deal and a fab actor and a great addition to the gang..If not there new leader!!!!!! both my daughters and i think he is very hunky and my son thinks he is "so much cooler than robin"

OK,let's face it, this version of the Robin Hood legend won't win any awards for it's historical accuracy or even it's costumes but as a mildly engaging Saturday night show it's a lot better than I think people give it credit for.The cast are good and for the first two series the plots were well constructed with nice finale episodes. However in the third series the show lost it's way and more and more complications were being added that didn't help things for Robin or us as an audience.Overall a decent enough show for the first two years. My advice would be to stop there though.

Of course this is a children's series. I could point out every historical error, I could criticize the casting, the absurd sounds the flying arrows make, the costumes, the plastic fantasy- chain mail, the fact that the noble Robin is portrayed as an unattractive bum. Fact is, it's just a low end children's series. It all comes with the genre. What do you expect? The budget has it's limits and you simply can not have the best actors, the best costumes and the best historical experts in this time of financial crisis. My son's enjoying every minute of it. He's ten years old. And who I'm I to spoil his fun? Being an archer myself I've seen much worse archery films and series. But seeing Robin Hood shooting a Mongolian-style re-curve bow in stead of an English longbow...? That really hurts. That's just awful.
