  Review by Patrick Willems ★★★ 1

  So many things about this movie aren't good but I still kind of like it because it's having fun and we don't get movies like this at all anymore.

  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 23

  There was a brief stretch in the early 90's where I watched this every other day and it was absolutely my favorite movie lol. Not gonna lie… this dumb and very long film still holds up for me, Freeman and Rickman are wonderful, I love Michael McShane as the boozed up friar tuck, and it’s always a pleasure seeing Michael Wincott and his raspy voice play a scuzzball during the 90’s.

  
  Also, the Michael Kamen score is amazing.

  "Locksley! I'm gonna cut your heart out WITH A SPOON!"

  I'm pretty sure that if I watched this for the first time today, I wouldn't like it. I'd detest all of the inaccuracies, plotholes and dodgy accents.

  But I didn't see this for the first time today. I've seen this countless times since I was a kid and back then it was only the film's sense of adventure that mattered to me and still does now.

  Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, to this very day, never fails to transport me back to my 12 year old self.

  My roommate: "Do you want to watch a movie?"
  Me: "No. I've watched two already today."

  A few thoughts:

  1. Kevin Costner is too low key for this role, too acharismatic, too American, and too Costnerian. Morgan Freeman should be considered one of those great actors who deserves far better than the roles he chooses/has given to him. Christian Slater's best feature was that he did not have a mullet, unlike all the other Merry Men.

  2. No major role for Alan a Dale? A passing reference to Much the Miller's Son? Nothing for Gilbert Whitehand? With that excessive runtime? Jesus fucking Christ.

  3. Alan Rickman got to utter…

  Someone is going to have to explain to me the Kevin Costner obsession in the early 90s because I do not get it.

  Robin Hood punches someone in the dick. 

  That’s the review.

  Review by Matthew Noble ★★★★ 4

  "The hospitality in this country is as warm as the weather."

  I get it. You all think you're cool for disliking this movie. Because of the accents, because of the anachronisms, because of the Hollywood-ness of it all.

  Well, you're all wrong. Prince of Thieves owns. As a Robin Hood story, it successfully depicts the themes of class warfare inherent within the character. As a medieval action epic, it's sweeping as hell. The set pieces hold up, and Michael Kamen's musical score is unbeatable. Kevin Reynolds' direction is surprisingly solid as well - those moments of silliness aside, the blocking and camera movement generally indicate that this was helmed by a filmmaker with a modicum of ability.

  The cast is…

  Snape (Alan Rickman) at his snapeiest and it wasn't even a Harry Potter film! I've visited this film time and time again over the years and it wasn't Kevin Costner that kept me coming back it was Alan Rickman's often caustic, whiney, sniveling performance that thrilled me to no end! Without a doubt this is my favorite Alan Rickman film!

  I also found myself enjoying Morgan Freeman's performance! But in the end it was the evil antagonist Sheriff George of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) whom we loved to hate and he obliged us by giving us endless opportunities to revel in our shared hatred of the man!

  Without Rickman and Freeman's performances this would be just another boring affair!

  (2020 Summer Blockbuster Series)

  An ok Hollywoodized blockbuster take on Robin Hood .... but that main musical theme is aces!

  "A wise man once said: "There are no perfect men in the world; only perfect intentions."

  I had some nostalgia coming into Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves since it was one of the first big action movies I remember going to see in the theater, and while it is very conventional and overlong. I still had a fun time revisiting it with my kiddos.

  - The title sequence on the tapestry really loses its flair once you have seen how much better it has been done in other movies, including Powell and Pressburger's 'The Life and Death of…

  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★½ 5

  I hadn't seen this movie in ages. It's actually much better than I remembered it being. Prince of Thieves is just a fun adventure flick with quite a bit of action and decent to great performances (Alan Rickman does his cheesy best). The runtime is too long though, especially on the extended edition, and Costner's English accent was beyond absurd. At least he was running/jumping around in tight pants, which made my watch partner* VERY happy.

  Fun times with *Michelle and Sophie.
