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.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is an entertainment without a particular point of view.

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.

The result is that Kevin Costner is... completely out of place. [Full review in Spanish]

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)

5/10

The biggest shock throughout the picture is the continually shifting tone - fueled by bizarre additives entirely foreign to standard interpretations.

Reasonable adaptation and a strong cast but, unfortunately, not a great film.

A movie locked in a place in time. Saw in the theatre's- watching again in 2025. This is very indicative of a late 80's early 90's movie. It was somewhat a blockbuster than. It doesn't hold up as well over time. For some this is going to be THE Robinhood movie but a young person probably isn't going to like it- it's dated. Though Costner would seem out-of-place in the role now, audiences didn't pay much attention to stuff like that back than. Going to keep for nostalgia sake but probably won't be watching it again.

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.

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

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.
