Review of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) by Gavin C — 26 Jun 2011

It's hard to dislike Kevin Costner because it turns out he's still one of the coolest actors of all time starring in such great hits like Field of Dreams and many more and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is one of them.

After escaping from a Dungeon after being captured by the Turks during the crusades, Robin, son of Lord Locksley and a warrior Moor named Azeem return to England only to find Robin's father has been murdered by the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham and has taken over his Father's lands. Unable to be helped by Maid Marian Dubois, sister of Robin's friend Peter who died trying to help Robin and Azeem escape. Robin vows to avenge his father and flees to the Forest of Sherwood, home to a band of outlaws who have been banished from their villages by the Sheriff of Notingham. Combining the forces of the outlaws, Robin and his merry men set out on a crusade against the Sheriff of Nottingham and defeat the Sheriff of Nottingham and his henchmen who bids to take over the throne of England's rightful ruler King Richard and put a end to the corruption that has infested the English countryside.

(sighs) Some of you are tired of me writing the plot of the movies I've already watched, so time to get on to my opinion.

The only problem I had with this movie was Kevin Costner's lack of british accent.

Everything else turned out great. The characters and acting were spectacular, the action scenes were very intense, the pacing was decent, and the pop song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams was amazing which makes this movie one of the best ones yet.

8/10.
