What to Know

Critics Consensus

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves brings a wonderfully villainous Alan Rickman to this oft-adapted tale, but he's robbed by big-budget bombast and a muddled screenplay.

Wendy Ide The Times (UK) [A] spirited adventure. Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is an entertainment without a particular point of view. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times While the makers of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves may have set out to bury the poor old duffer of Sherwood Forest in a welter of trendy banter, they have ended up burying themselves as well. Apr 25, 2014 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) The result is that Kevin Costner is... completely out of place. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine Adds up to an enjoyable reimagining of the familiar Robin Hood mythology, filled with a deep cast- if you can get past Costner's accent (30th anniversary) Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The biggest shock throughout the picture is the continually shifting tone - fueled by bizarre additives entirely foreign to standard interpretations. Rated: 5/10 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Kennedy S Absolutely loved this movie! The action felt realistic instead of rehearsed, composed combat and I absolutely loved the romance between Robin and Marian. And you can’t go wrong with the amazing cast and how they work with one another; a lot of camaraderie and relationship development. I don’t see the problem with Costner’s supposedly “awful” accent. If anything, it’s irrelevant to the amazing acting and line delivery from the actor. I feel it’s just nitpicking when there’s not really a set accent for old England. If you get past that, you can enjoy the masterpiece that this rugged, period piece that this movie is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Tom C Admittedly it's a little campy but the uplifting score, genuinely impressive cinematography and pure nostalgia have kept me coming back to this classic Costner spectacle over the years. Perfect rainy day film in my opinion. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Shonna J I was 15 when this movie was released so maybe it was my age, but I fell in love with it, the song and the video promo with Bryan Adams' song Everything I Do. I'm surprised as an adult to discover it was so heavily criticized, the movie has some entertainment for everyone, action, romance, etc. And not really concerned with anyone's accent, it's all for fun... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Dan W Great film. Watched it as a child and many times since. Sure, it has historical inaccuracies but it is done with great humour and the story is so high-spirited. A great. In loving memory of Rickman too with some incredible one liners.
