(This review may contain spoilers).
This was a film I used to watch when I was much younger with my sister – one of quite a few. I always loved it, so more recently, I bought it on DVD and today watched it with one of my friends.
I like that this film doesn’t take itself too seriously. The storyline is good and the acting throughout is good. The special effects might not be brilliant, but I think that the entertainment value makes up for it.
It was good to recognise the different characters from the original legends of Robin Hood. I would have liked to see more of Will Scarlet’s history with Robin, but the rest came across really well.
There were some humorous moments in the film and although the characters’ history weren’t shown, I felt that they came across as real people, though the good characters were clearly good and the bad people were… bad.
This film was really entertaining to watch and remains one of my favourite adaptations of the legends of Robin Hood. I personally like watching it.
