Watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves For Free

Why so much hype?

i must have seen a different film!!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I thought that this was the longest Robin Hood movie ever made. I then heard there's an extended version of 2010's "Robin Hood" that's over 150 minutes. Whatever, it's the longest version I've seen. We really do see an all star cast here with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Rickman. I keep seeing Alan Rickman in more things. It's hard to believe I never heard of him before Harry Potter.We get a lot of great action scenes but the characterizations are good. I will admit it looked a bit dim. Maybe it was just the version I was watching. It was cool to see such classic figures like Maid Marian, Little John, and Friar Tuck gradually introduced in this well paced film. I even felt we learned something about medieval times and the role of religion in that period. Not as good as the Erroll Flynn version, but still nice. ***

I have been reading some comments about this movie, and most of them have been negative. They should realise that this movie is not like the normal robin hood you would watch, it is a more realistic type movie. I have to say Kevin Costner and Alan Rickman were the best casting choice ever. The Movie was executed amazing starting small then going for the big things. This movie is very underrated and it's one of the movies where you could just watch it again and again. This and "The Bodyguard" is Kevin's best movies

Continuing my plan to watch every Kevin Costner movie in order, I come to Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves from 1991.Plot In A Paragraph: When Robin of Locksley (KC) and his companion (Morgan Freeman) come to England and are confronted with the tyranny of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) he decides to fight back.1991 was a big year for KC, I remember prior to this movie and JFK being released, I read an article called 'How Do You Follow Up A Movie Like Dances With Wolves?' and it was a great read about the pressure of following up a movie that won 7 Oscars. I think he delivered in spades in 1991, and continues his great run. I don't care what people say about his accent, KC is my Robin Hood, and both of my kids Robin Hood, for a long time, my eldest always referred to KC as Robin Hood, no matter what movie he was watching him in. He plays it a bit more serious than Errol Flynn, but he is much more fun, than the Russell Crowe version.Just like in Die Hard, Alan Rickman steals the show as the Sheriff of Nottingham, he is fun, over the top and with his sneering delivery of his one liners, he is in full pantomime villain mode, and his is the definitive rendition of Nottingham's Sheriff. I adore Rickman, and think he is an under rated actor, who only seemed to be appreciated after he left us too soon Christian Slater is fine as the jealous Will Scarlett and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is OK as Maid Marian, but she changes from a strong, independent woman when we first meet her, into a clichéd damsel in distress by the end of the movie.In the late eighties (starting with 'Street Smart' opposite Christopher Reeve) and particularly the early to mid nineties. Morgan Freeman could do no wrong in my book. A wonderful actor who brought a touch of class to every movie he made. Then something happened, every movie maker and studio caught on to the fact, and he suddenly became the 'go to' guy. Then suddenly he was everywhere releasing several movies a year, all of varying quality. Often he was in supporting roles. Some were brilliant, some were still enjoyable (Million Dollar Baby, Bruce Almighty and Now You See Me) some were not (Take your pick!!) and you often think "I hope he was well paid" as he clearly took this for the money. This is thankfully one of the former. Freeman plays a Azeem, a man committed to prayer, whose loyalty surpasses all others and whose level-headed guidance proves he's much more than a sidekick. He is an equal. Sean Connery pops up too as a favour to KC, and donated his salary to charity too. Michael Kamens score seems to be forgotten about, due to the success of Brian Adams song, Everything I Do (I Do It For You) which dominated charts everywhere. 14 weeks at the top of the Billboard Chart, and a record breaking 16 weeks at the top of the UK charts. Don't get me wrong, it's far from perfect, the pacing is a bit off at times, with some unnecessary subplots dragging it down a bit. But there are so many memorable moments, it doesn't matter. I don't think I will ever not enjoy watching this movie. Prince Of Thieves ended the year with a domestic gross of $165 million, ending the year, the 2nd highest grossing movie of 1991. 8/10 for this Reviewer. I almost went with a 9/10 such is my enjoyment of the movie.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the best adaptation of the Robin Hood of I watched , the cast is already very good , Kevin Costner does a great Robin Hood , Morgan Freeman as always look great and still have the great Alan Rickman makes a great villain , you feel anger, film photography is very good, the landscapes are good, the costumes are great, the direction is good , the action scenes are good, it's even better when you know that this movie is 1991 , the film also has a good humor, the film does not get to be so violent in battles such as the Braveheart would a movie four years later, more is understood by the fact that the release gap is great, and Braveheart has much more resources , Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a good film, which gives to spend time watching , and still having a great cast is very funny moments.
