I'm not sure what this guy is talking about, from what I remember this is the best Robin Hood movie ever made. And if you think the newer snooze-fest starring Russel Crowe is better you are no longer my friend. Trying to sit through that crapfest was the very reason I went searching for Prince of Thieves. The cast, in my opinion, is great all the way around. I'm not saying this is a cinematic masterpiece, but as far as Robin Hood goes, this is about as good as it gets.

I am happy to leave this movie nestled safe in the bosom of nostalgia. It was one of the last movies my parents took me to see, and we all hated it.AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961200742501382827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-85429649881507707582010-05-13T12:31:48.605-07:002010-05-13T12:31:48.605-07:00If only JD.

For a minute there, I thought it was Kevin Reynolds' homage to THE EVIL DEAD. I half expected the witch to yell out at one point, "I'll swallow your soul!" and for Bruce Campbell to magically appear and take her out with a shotgun. Ah, if only...<br /><br />Yeah, this film has not aged well at all. As you say, the bad guys are easily the best thing about this film with Rickman in particularly looking like he's having a blast gleefully chewing up the scenery. At least when he's on-screen it distracts you from how bad the rest of the film is.<br /><br />As for Costner, I agree that he's at his best when he's playing that idealized image of an American - BULL DURHAM is still my fave film of his. I also love how Clint Eastwood twisted our expectations of Costner in A PERFECT WORLD.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
