Critics Consensus

Robin and Marian gives the legendary characters a somber sendoff, finding ample success in the romantic chemistry between Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn while yielding diminishing returns in its attempts at relevant satire.

Pauline Kael

New Yorker

Lester and Goldman must have wanted to out-Kubrick Kubrick. the lack of sympathy for the farmers and the soldiers turns the film into an impersonal essay in carnage.

TIME Magazine

Robin and Marian is a film that must stand or fall on the strength of its stars. Fortunately, it has two of the best."

Empire Magazine

The atmosphere is one of melancholy as Lester penetrates through the gauze of fantasy to find the human heart, and softly finds it beating.

Rated: 3/5

The Barb (Atlanta)

Richard Leister directed Robin and Marian, his finest film yet in many respects. He adds his antic comedy to the beginning, but lets love and adventure carry the bulk of the film.

Rob's Movie Vault

The movie is less nihilistic than simply truthful, an effective rebuttal to the Errol Flynn classic.

Rated: B+

Robin and Marian is basically a failure, but it has its moments. Even if we laugh at it more than with it, it isn't boring, and it isn't depressing.

This was really weak. Two big name stars can't carry the heavy load.

Pretty slow moving with a weird ending. Not a great role for Audrey Hepburn. The love story didn't really work.

A bittersweet ode to an olde romance. Very well done by Connery and Hepburn

James Goldman's screenplay includes some of the most interesting and unexpected dialogue you'll ever find in a movie, especially one in a folkloric-historical setting. I struggled with the ending, but found it a fascinating envisioning of how the legends of Robin Hood could have been grounded in the gritty reality of life in medieval Europe, and in real people with their limitations, failings and strengths.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I'm sad to say this was pretty boring. I just don't understand what the point was of jumping in time like this..some things are better left to the imagination..
