Movie Reviews of Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
Movie Review: Better with the mute button.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've avoided this film for years. It is surprisingly action-packed in a good way and the settings are appropriate. Alan Rickman's character of the Sheriff of Nottingham, George, is marvelous and with the deleted scenes, much more interesting than Robin Hood's. Morgan Freeman does a credible job which could have been expanded. I found muting Kostner each time he spoke to vastly improve the watching experience. It isn't so much his American accent in an English setting as the lack of emotional depth. He has none at all. He looks the part, can't act it, though. Pay extra for the deleted scenes as they are worth it.
Summary of Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
A reworking of the legend with a stand-out performance by Alan Rickman as the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams and John Lange).Kevin Costner's lousy English accent is a small obstacle in this often exciting version of the Robin Hood fable. That aside, it's refreshing to have a preface to the old story in which we meet the robber hero of Sherwood Forest as a soldier in King Richard's Crusades, coming home to find his people under siege from the cruelties of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). After Robin and his community of outcasts and fighters take to the trees, director Kevin Reynolds (Fandango, 187) is on more familiar narrative ground, and he goes for the gusto with lots of original action (Robin shoots two arrows simultaneously from his bow in two directions). Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Marion, makes a convincing damsel in distress, and Morgan Freeman brings dignity to his role as Robin's Moor friend. Alan Rickman, however, gets the most attention for his scene-chewing role as the rotten sheriff, an almost campy performance that is highly entertaining but perhaps a little out of sorts with the rest of the film. --Tom Keogh
