So much cheesier than I remembered. It's always a delight to watch Alan Rickman. Having not seen it since, I guess, 1995 there's a few adult jokes I didn't get at the time. I was 12 and didn't understand why he told the girl to bring a friend. I do now and applaud him.

oh...right.

Overly dramatic cheese, pomp and circumstance at its absolutely Rickmanian finest! The insertion of "Ra! Ra! Christianity" shoe horned in here can't possibly offend anyone with its awesome corniness.
Alan Rickman absolutely takes the cake with this one. One of the greatest actors of his generation and I almost feel like he was trying to ruin the movie with his blatant disregard for subtlety - it's a beautiful thing.
I pop this one in every two years or so and each time it gets better. And funnier.

The movie is passable but it gets an extra half star for the awesome French horn solo in the soundtrack. Thank you Michael Kamen!

Although this movie did not hold up well when revisited years later, I must admit to loving it when it came out and seeing it more than once in the theater. Love Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Probably should have watched this when I was younger. Cheesy, cheap, and with a bloated running time, not much of this movie did it for me. And just what in the hell is Kevin Costner doing in this movie? Completely miscast. But Alan Rickman is always enjoyable to watch and it looks like he had a lot of fun being so over the top.

This film is one of my guilty pleasures.
I must have seen it ten times or more now and it never gets old, plus the younger Costner, Slater & Rickman don't go amiss either.
There's too many things about this film that I enjoy so I won't bore you by listing them. Just watch the film and find out for yourself just how good it is!

It's been several years since I've seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, but seeing as I just watched Ridley Scott's take, and that I ordered the two disc edition of Prince of Thieves last week, I figured it was about time. Robin Hood is much more silly than I remember, as parts of the film reminded me of several fantasy flicks of the '80s. Alan Rickman is awesome as always as the Sheriff of Nakatomi Plaza, but his character is so off-the-wall and bizarre that it's hard to take him seriously. And I much prefer Kevin Costner in westerns. But still, Robin Hood is an entertaining movie that hearkens back to my youth, which is probably why it's remembered as fondly as.

Kad sāku skatīties šo filmu, biju sagatavojusies skaistai, divu stundu garai filmai ar loku šāvējiem, romantiku un Kevinu Kostneru. It kā visas šīs lietas bija, bet tomēr šī filma man neizraisīja nekādas emocijas. Varbūt iemesls tam ir tāds, ka man nekad pārāk nav paticis Kevins Kostners, vai arī tas, ka aktieri filmā runā tik klusi, ka neko nevar dzirdēt. Piemēram, Gaja Gīzborna atveidotais varonis man joprojām ir miglā tīts, jo viņa dikcija, bija kaut kas tik nesaprotams, ka skatīties šo filmu angliski bez subtitriem ir problemātiski. Lai vai kā, ržija un scenārijs ir labi izstrādāts, tāpēc arī 3 zvaigznes.
