Robin Hood - Prince Of Thieves
Kevin Costners lousy English accent is a small obstacle in this often
exciting version of the Robin Hood fable. That aside, its refreshing to have
a preface to the old story in which we meet the robber hero of Sherwood
Forest as a soldier in King Richards Crusades, coming home to find his
people under siege from the cruelties of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan
Rickman). After Robin and his community of outcasts and fighters take to
the trees, director Kevin Reynolds (Fandango, 187) is on more familiar
narrative ground, and he goes for the gusto with lots of original action
(Robin shoots two arrows simultaneously from his bow in two directions).
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Marion, makes a convincing damsel in
distress, and Morgan Freeman brings dignity to his role as Robins Moor
friend. Alan Rickman, however, gets the most attention for his scene-
chewing role as the rotten sheriff, an almost campy performance that is
highly entertaining but perhaps a little out of sorts with the rest of the film.
--Tom Keogh
I know this might sound corny but I really enjoyed Kevin Costners
performance as the price of thieves , he I thought brought the essence of
the charter , yes I know he didnt have and English accent neither did Clark
Gable in Gone with the wind but people still loved the movie , this movie
was helped out a lot by those two very great actors Alan Rickman and
Morgan Freeman , both did great jobs especially Alan Rickman as the
sheriff of Nottingham funny stuff, this has to one of my favorite versions of
Robin hood , my favorite scene of the movie is robin looking at Maid
Marian rowing out towards the lake in the mist.
