Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991, VHS)
This film is truly one of the finest in the history of cinema. It provides in equal amounts nail-biting fight scenes, tear-inducing romance, heart-pounding tense drama, and not a little comic relief that so far from being out of place in the drama serve to enhance it. The only points of the film that diminsh its quality are Kevin Costner trying to fake an English accent and failing miserably, a fact pointed out by Mel Brookes in his spoof Robin Hood Men in Tights. The second is the appearance of Sean Connery in a cameo as King Richard, not unwelcome in its self for he carries the role with great dignity and power, but why a Scotsman with broad Edinburgh accent is playing a monarch whose origins, upbringing and language were French is anyone's guess. However these are truly minor points and they do not detract at all from the sheer majesty of this film. From Morgan Freeman's wonderful redition of Robin's Moorish companion, displaying a talent for accents that eludes Kevin Costner, to Alan Rickman's outstanding performance as the Sherrif of Nottingham, displaying an ability to portray a character who is simply evil that is fantastic, Alan Rickman, as in every film he does, steals the show. This film provides wonderful entertainment and it will produce a range of emotions in the viewer that will leave you exhausted and drained mentally. There are times when the tensions becomes almost too much to bear, and the tricky plot-twists will leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A film that deserves pride of place in anyone's film collection, and deserves to be recoginsed as a true classic of cinema the likes of which we so rarely see any more. The movie is capped off with a superb soundtrack from John Williams, and the opening music gets the andrenlin going before the movie even begins. The film luckily features a mostly English cast, including the wonderful Brian Blessed, and features many lesser English actors. It would have gained 5 stars, but for casting Kevin Costner who, despite being a fine actor, is not suited to the role of an English character. The title role could easily have gone to an English actor, but unfortunately it was not done, otherwise this film could have been as close to perfect as can be done.
Robin Hood re-told
This re-tells the story of Robin Hood in a slightly different light and introduces some new characters into the legend. This particular version is on a NTSC VHS format and was issued in 1991. Of particular mention is the musical score - absolutely outstanding. While I'm normally a Kevin Costner fan, Morgan Freeman did a magnificent job in it. Great photography and special effects. Also noticed that some of the extras were in Braveheart (and other contemporary movies of this theme) and they gave a nice air to the movie. School age children can probably view this movie, after an adult has approved. Enjoyable movie! Please note that this review is written with no knowledge as to who the seller is.

Take From The Rich And Give To The Poor
That's the way it should be done..and this film was done the right way too..starring Kevin Costner (The Bodyguard) Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy) and Alan Rickman (Professor Snape in Harry Potter) Inprisoned and about to be executed Robin helps to rescue his best friend and an unknown Man..once free the best friend buys it and his new Friend swears to stay by his side until the day he saves his life and pays off his debt to Robin..thus their friendship is set in stone..As Robins adventures escalate so does the laughs and suspense..this is a fun movie..Alan Rickman does a great job bringing the Sheriff of Nottingham to life..few actors can be both evil and funny at the same time and Mr. Rickman seems to have that gift down to an art..yes I recommend this to everyone, but be wary of small children there is alot of killing, some adult scenes and some bad words..this may not be the Robin Hood for them!! But it is the best Robin Hood Out there!!

When there is a movie you just have to see again.
When there is a movie you just have to see again and can't seem to find it in the local stores, you will most likely be able to find it on Ebay. This was an old movie my Daughter and I just had to see again. I looked to see if I could find it on Ebay and of course I did. The only thing I did not like about it, was the fact that the begining of the movie, where the FBI warning begins and some of the opening credits are is faulty. With that said, it is only the FBI warnings and opening credits. Which, still made it a movie we could see and enjoy.
