Costner was wonderful in the role of Robin Hood. He has a way of keeping you interested in any movie he is in. Rickman gives a great over-the-top performance as a bitterly humorous sheriff. Christian Slater is completely lovable, he had some good humourous moments. Freeman, Connery, and Mastrantonio give their all, creating a truly emotional and powerful film..

I have seen this film more than 30 time and I still don't get bored of it. There is the perfect mixture of action, drama, and comedy to keep it exciting, interesting, and entertaining, while at the same time to not compromise the solid narrative structure or reduce the extent to which the film can be taken seriously, but still enjoyed on a light-hearted level..

Other than the acting the cinematography was well shot and the locations where the film was shot, other than in Pinewood, were simply amazing.

It also has a Beautiful soundtrack. Bryan Adams hit song, "Everything I do, I do it for you" provides the perfect touch to this hit movie.
