Review of Robin Hood (2009) by Paul R — 16 Sep 2011
This is one of my guilty pleasures. I adore this film and it is one of my most watched films to date. It is by far the best Robin Hood film full of action and comedy. The very American Kevin Costner robs the rich to feed the poor along with his Moorish companion Azeem played by Morgan Freeman.
After an escape from their imprisonment by the Turks during the Crusades, Robin and his companion arrive in England to find Robin's home and world have been turned upside down. His father has been murdered for crimes he did not commit.
Robin swears to avenge his fathers' death and is pitted against the Sheriff of Nottingham who is brought life by the great Alan Rickman in one of his most memorable performances. He has some of the best lines in the film and adds an edge of brilliance to an already great film.
It's full of adventure and action with stunning rural backdrops of a medieval England. I just dare you not to enjoy yourself - it's a great film for kids and adults alike.
