  The bad guy actually has the line "Cancel Christmas!!!" Anyway, still the best Robin Hood in over 50 years. ;)

  A wonderful new version of Robin Hood. I especially loved Alan Rickman as the sheriff of Nottingham. This movie is exciting, action packed, and very entertaining.

  A beautiful looking movie with lots of great action and explosions. It also has a star studded cast and extremely fun characters to accompany them. While Kevin Costner essentially plays himself in Robinhoodland, it's indeed better than him playing a copy of Erroll Flynn and having some outrageous British accent. Alan Rickman plays the Sheriff in a way that no one else ever has or will, it is perfect. I also love the completely daring performance from Michael Wincott a.k.a The Cousin. This movie's strong suit is the ridiculously cool landscape and storytelling. They made Robin Hood extremely realistic and an action extravaganza. It's always a fun movie to watch.

  The two best things in this movie: Alan Rickman's acting and Christian Slater. Yum. Kevin Costner was atrocious. I mean, was I supposed to believe for a second he was British? I didn't. AWFUL. Like *gag*. BUT remember those two good things? Redeeming. And a pretty bad ass… More
  The two best things in this movie: Alan Rickman's acting and Christian Slater. Yum. Kevin Costner was atrocious. I mean, was I supposed to believe for a second he was British? I didn't. AWFUL. Like *gag*. BUT remember those two good things? Redeeming. And a pretty bad ass battle scene... finally. Last part of the movie! Better late than never, I suppose. Still, I prefer the Mel Brooks parody over the original.

  Nevermind the fact that Costner's acting is a little stiff and his accent is all but absent. This is a rousing and exciting adventure film. For a PG-13, it's also quite dark and violent. That may not be a big deal now, but it was rather shocking back in the day. I don't… More
  Nevermind the fact that Costner's acting is a little stiff and his accent is all but absent. This is a rousing and exciting adventure film. For a PG-13, it's also quite dark and violent. That may not be a big deal now, but it was rather shocking back in the day. I don't think/can't remember if it's the most violent or dark PG-13 film I've seen, but it's content still surprised me. Despite his shortcomings, Costner isn't that bad. He's not a great Robin, but I'm sure a worse one can be found. Maybe I'm just too nice. Rickman though, is damn excellent. He started his career as a villain, and he did so well at it that it doesn't surprise me that he gets typecast. I mean, he's a great actor in general, but make him a villain, and he just shines like no other. The rest of the cast is mostly good, but don't expect any Ocar winning performances. The camera work and action scenes are the best parts of the movie, so that's basically the main reason to see this. It's also good if you're in the mood for a night of late 80s early 90s nostalgia.

  I love Robin Hood, and I'm sorry, but the Disney fox had better acting than Kevin Costner.

  Very entertaining, despite its many flaws. Kevin Costner wouldn't exactly be my first pick for the role of Robin Hood, but he does a surprisingly good job here. He's also backed up by a very colorful supporting cast. Alan Rickman may be a bit cartoonish as the Sheriff of Nottingham, but I think that's more due to faulty directing, as opposed to bad acting from him. I was also a bit annoyed by the extreme close-ups and weird camera movements. Thankfully though, they don't occur too often. And in the end, this remains a highly enjoyable experience. Certainly one of the best versions of the story that I've ever seen. Not to mention the wonderful music score, by the legendary John Williams.

  Kevin Cosnter as Robin Hood. It felt so good at that time.

• Anthony L

  
  Massively overrated at the time, I always wanted Alan Rickman to kill Kevin Costner in the end.

• Coxxie M

  
  the theme song is almost as annoyong as the one from Titanic. Bryan Adams and Celine Dion are both canadian....hmmm.... i wonder...

  In its time this was huge, I don't know why, I never liked it. Its very bad and very inaccurate. Costner is laughable as Hood and Rickman, although funny, is waaay too pantomime, the whole cast is poor really, and the action and look is very obviously on sets. The title song from… More

Costner is laughable as Hood and Rickman, although funny, is waaay too pantomime, the whole cast is poor really, and the action and look is very obviously on sets. The title song from Bryan Adams is the only thing thats any good.

  The perfect Robin Hood adventure, taking all the bits and pieces the story needs, with the classic river staff fight, the splinting an arrow with an arrow, a certain Sean Connery in a King Lionheart cameo, a fantastic villain in the shape of Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman as a sidekick, a wonderful soundtrack and a good sense of humor. The pace and timing is good, the acting too, it's exciting, funny and entertaining. In short, the perfect popcorn movie. Half a star extra for all the nice memories I connect with this film.

  I know what's wrong with this movie and I like it anyway. It is not profound, or magically romantic or epic. What it is is fun to watch and has enough funny dialogue to carry it out from the dreck pile. I would have cast someone else as Robin Hood and Marion, but everyone else… More
  I know what's wrong with this movie and I like it anyway. It is not profound, or magically romantic or epic. What it is is fun to watch and has enough funny dialogue to carry it out from the dreck pile. I would have cast someone else as Robin Hood and Marion, but everyone else was not half bad. I prefer Mel Brooks' parody, but that's just me being cynical.

• Bobby H

  
  Kevin Costner did a great job as Robin Hood. It took me awhile to take a look at this film, but I should have a long time ago. It was great.

• Tsubaki S

  
  So bad and cheesy, it does have some moments. Gotta love how that fat priest gets killed at the end.

  The fantastic cast make a good job of this entertaining family movie featuring of course the played-to-death Everything I Do I Do It For You by Bryan Adams.

• Tim B

  
  I remember enjoying this movie very much. Although, now that I look back on it, I think most of my enjoyment was from Alan Rickman.
