eric f Really one of the best Robin Hood adoptions. Truly underrated and overshadowed by Kostners Hood that came out at the same time. More authentic period correct and not as "Hollywood " as the others. Highly suggest you check it out. Patrick Bergen kills it!

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review farah r I watched this by accident, thinking it was Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, and it was terrible. Everything from the acting, costumes, plot, and music was crappy. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member When you see so many different iterations of the same story it takes something unique or interesting to make any of them stand out from the rest of the pack, and avoid looking like a shadow of the past versions. Well, there’s a reason people would call this “the other Robin Hood film from 1991.” They try doing a different twist with some minor elements of the story, and setting up new motivations for Robin, but largely the film just feels like it’a going through the motions. And it does this with some horrible actors. Patrick Bergin is terribly dull, and sets the pace for everyone else in the film. Jeroen Krabbé might be the only one who seems to be trying to inject some emotion into the movie, but everyone else is not good. Even Uma Thurman looks bored. I have to admit, I’ve seen a lot of versions of the Robin Hood story, many of them in the last month. It’s easy to get bogged down in a story when you just keep seeing it retold again and again, but I still think if it’s done well, I can find enjoyment. This version of Robin Hood at its best is bland, and at worst it’s downright boring. Sometimes they try for comedy, but it’s never funny. Then they shoot for drama or excitement and I couldn’t be more disinterested. The film is overly predictable, and not because it is a remake of something we’ve all seen countless times before. They take no real chances. I was also distracted in some scenes by the illogical actions of the characters. All around this Robin Hood is one of the worst, and I don’t need to watch it again. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/19 Full Review Audience Member The gritty realism of this film in making the medieval period feel like the medieval period is what stands out in this version of the legend, the merry men with gritty north midlands accents. Patrick Bergin's Robin Hood is a down-to-earth character, whilst Una Thurman's Maid Marion is a feisty rebel. Prince John is removed to a cameo role, being superbly replaced by Jurgen Prochnow's Folcanet. Far superior to Costner's version and for a fraction of the budget .... And there is definately NO GUNPOWDER in the 12th Centuary in this one. Superb throughout. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This version of Robin Hood was made in the same year as Kevin Costner's bloated epic, so it inevitably suffered in the market, and was doomed to be another TV movie, which I think is a shame because, in many ways, this Robin Hood is far superior to the terrible Kevin Costner version. I mainly say this because it lacks the air of pretension that plagues all big Hollywood adaptations, and also because it's far less of a pain to watch. The performances in this movie have a kind of class and dignity that's absent in its big-budget counterpart, and I feel that the cast was very well chosen. I find that Patrick Bergin's performance as Robin Hood is quite balanced. Compared to many versions of Robin Hood, Bergin's performance is more down to earth, but without being too gritty and lifeless. The visuals provide a very convincing medieval backdrop, which is ideal for a realistic take on the Robin Hood story. The best part about the film, however, is that it felt real and was a convincing performance. I don't think it's the best adaptation of the tale, but it's appealing enough that I'd still watch it any day. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
