En 1193, Le Roi d'Angleterre Richard Coeur de Lion est retenu captif par les Autrichiens. Évadé d'une geôle à Jérusalem après une croisade des plus périlleuses, Robin de Locksley retourne sur l'île de Grande-Bretagne. Il est accompagné d'Azeem, un Maure qu'il a libéré. Mais Robin réalise avec horreur que ses terres natales ont été mises à feu et à sang. Le Shérif de Nottingham opprime les populations locales et agit comme un vrai tyran. Considéré comme un hors-la-loi, Robin se réfugie dans la forêt de Sherwood. Il y rencontre des brigands et s'allie avec eux pour défier le Shérif, qui cherche à s'emparer du trône royal.

More than the legend of which nothing remains intact in this movie, this is a classic fairytale with the baddest ever tyrant (hats off to Rickman, it was no easy task to act this honorably) and the kindest ever good guy. Good to put your feet up to, immemorable, badly told, in places really funny, almost never ridiculous and with an imperceptible difference between the regular and the extended version. Luckily this is significantly less gung ho than the version from the thirties, but that isn’t enough to make it more than just a good movie. Oh yeah, and ban Christmas!

If we were able to filter out the nostalgia of the viewers who remember this classic from their childhood, the reviews would be much more sober. Hollywood's Robin Hood is a mishmash that turns into a farce in the action scenes and is not even heavily cast. Essentially, the only thing that pleased me was the performance of Alan Rickman, who always excelled at playing devilish villains and clearly enjoyed it. This Robin did not awaken any enthusiasm in me even back during its premiere, let alone today. Overall impression: 40%.

I'm one of those people who somehow never saw this classic Robin Hood movie until now. But here's my key takeaway: if you've seen Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights first, you’re never going to be able to take this version seriously. The parody nails so many specific scenes, I kept seeing Men in Tights more than the actual film. That said, it's still a fun watch. Kevin Costner does his thing, and there's a charm to the old-school, pre-digital filmmaking that gives it an authentic, historical feel.

Probably the best adaptation of the Robin Hood legend, where he gains incredible charisma thanks to the excellent Kevin Costner, and Morgan Freeman as a Saracen warrior is also outstanding. Alan Rickman doesn't even need to be mentioned, he delivers one of the best villains on the big screen. The action is truly captivating, especially the breathtaking forest ambush scene. The pleasant music enhances the atmosphere, and everything is well-directed by Kevin Reynolds. The running time is not a problem, the whole film is very dynamic. The collaboration of the two Kevins turned out excellent. Unfortunately, a few years later, they would not repeat their success.

A textbook movie. Action, romance, exoticism (yes, Morgan Freeman :), jokes and adventures. Costner's Robin Hood is one of the best and probably best-known treatments of this outlaw legend. Plus, Alan Rickman shows off one of his best slippery villains here. I simply love this movie.
