Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
(Extended Version) [Blu-ray] starring
Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman,
Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Mary
Elizabeth Mastrantonio
Still Love It!
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.

Features:
* Kevin Costner triumphs as the legendary Sherwood Forest outlaw leader
in this epic adventure bringing a 12th-century medieval world to
spectacular screen life. Enhancing the fun are 12 added minutes of
footage not seen in theatres, especially more juicy malevolence of Robin
Hoods archenemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). Morgan
Freeman, Christian Slater and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio a
I remember when this movie came out. I went to watch it three times and
that is really saying something coming from me. Well when I found this, I
was like "Yea!!!!!!!!" Bought it and watched and LOVED all the new scenes
that were originally deleted. It is the best Robin Hood even if several
actors do not have English accents ;)
