| The New YorkerPauline KaelMostly just a bland, sanitized rip-off of the 1938 Errol Flynn version, offering little in terms of new contributions to the tale, and not improving substantially on anything that was already there. |
| User ReviewJames LSome may not agree, but this is the best version of the Robin Hood story I have ever seen. It did not complicate the story. There were no intricate plot twists and nothing that made Prince John to be insane. |
| User ReviewJackie HIn my opinion the best film adaption of Robin Hood. |
| User ReviewOliver BIt's movie heresy to say it but this is my favourite Robin Hood film even over the Errol Flynn original. The main reason is the sense of character and fun throughout the whole film. Whereas the 1938 film had a tendency to be a bit stoic and forced the story and acting in this one really allow you to get a lot more involved in the emotion of it all. It's also extremely interesting to watch as a huge fan of the animated version to see what they borrowed for it. |
| User ReviewJohn PI am impatiently waiting for Disney to put this out on DVD fully restored with all the DVD bells and whistles. This is a super movie, made in England in the original locations (or so the promotion for it claims) with an all British cast. This is one of the best Robin Hood movies that has been made. It ranks right up there with the earlier Warner Brothers/Errol Flynn version. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe Best Movie Ever Made!!! Green Box Robin Hood will always have a special spot in my heart!! Please put it on DVD my copy is almost toast... |
