Search your heart, search your soul and you know this Robin Hood is a stone cold 90’s classic. The score, the set pieces, Freeman’s Azeem, Christian Slater’s Will Scarlett, and of course Alan Rickman’s Nottingham give top notch character performances.
Is Kevin Costner’s Robin of Locksley from Iowa? Yes. Is the evil witch stuff a straight rip off of Excalibur and extraneous to the plot? Of course.
But you know it’s true. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves stands up as a people pleaser. You might say everything it does, it does it for you.
