azeem H @Azeen May 2 From 1987-1994 Kevin Costner was in his pomp, with an Oscar win for Dance with Wolves in 1990. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was a pop culture and box office hit. Bryan Adam's Everything I Do was at the time the longest running number chart single at Sixteen weeks. The film also put into the general world the infamous line "call off Christmas". What about the film itself, it is a rollicking good ride is it historically accurate not a bit. Is Kevin Costner out acted by pretty much everyone? Sure. but when the story goes along at a rollicking pace that you don't really notice the flaws. Then there is Alan Rickman the real star of the film, in only his fifth film, his biggest hit since Die Hard. If you watch this film for nothing else then watch it for Rickman. A brilliant piece of 1990s action and adventure and perhaps the last great Robin Hood film, sorry Men in Tights but you're a spoof first and foremost. Just sit back stick your brain on neutral and enjoy. See more Lori S @OverActress Mar 21 Kevin Costner was completely miscast in this movie. He tried... he wanted it to work, but he was just too old and entirely too American. The best part of the movie is Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Little John is fun, too. Basically everyone is good but Kevin Costner. If you can watch it for free, do so, if for no other reason to see Snape acting sexy. LOL. See more Ian W @Ianwinter Dec 26 Poor on every level from hair to casting from script to acting from accents to pace. Only Rickman stands out when not in pantomime mode. Its so cheesy mice queued for the premier. Oh I have a brother, oh dear one of the most naff lines in cinema, perhaps the poor delivery and shooting of the line. Freeman is weak, wooden. Costner not focused on character and more on Costner, he should have ived in the woods for a month... A shame its money badly spent like Ridley Scotts where casting accents acting and script let him down. But that film as jeopardy, tone and pace and some excellent acting.

Fun film for all the family seen this in cinema when it first came out now own it on 4k watched it many times. See more kevenquinlan T @RT75276071 Jul 29 A movie locked in a place in time. Saw in the theatre's- watching again in 2025. This is very indicative of a late 80's early 90's movie. It was somewhat a blockbuster than. It doesn't hold up as well over time. For some this is going to be THE Robinhood movie but a young person probably isn't going to like it- it's dated. Though Costner would seem out-of-place in the role now, audiences didn't pay much attention to stuff like that back than. Going to keep for nostalgia sake but probably won't be watching it again.
