superb..................
this dvd is superb. my daughter Morwenna loves it. Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves, who is the friend to the poor and enemy to the law has it all. Lots of swashbuckling adventure,heroes, villians, romance, comedy,terrific cinematography,wonderful actors,great costumes,and a truly memorable musical score. It's a great story. Robin Hood(Kevin Costner) escapes from a foreign prison during the 12th century wars, comes home to find his father(Brian Blessed), a nobleman, murdered and the people of his beautiful countryside are starving. The person responsible for all this suffering - it's the Sheriff of Nottingham(Alan Rickman).
With King Richard also away at the wars, It is up to Robin to save the starving people, thwart the efforts of the Sheriff to take over the country, and save Maid Marion(Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) from the clutches of this madman. He has lots of help though, as he hides out in Sherwood Forest with Littlejohn, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett ( played by Christian Slater), and the rest of the outlaws. He is also befriended by Azim ( played by Morgan Freeman), a Moor that escapes from the prison with Robin. There's lots of great action and romance to follow. The sword fights, arrows blazing with fire in slow motion, explosions, along with the tender moments between Robin and Marion with the great musical score in the background. Fantastic!!! |
