Robin Hood - Principe dei ladri

***Iconic Medieval adventure of the early 90s*** Released in 1991, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" stars Kevin Costner in the title role. While some have argued that Costner was too humorless and brooding for the part, this is a cinematic myth. There are quite a few places in the film where he can be seen smiling and having a good time, like when he makes it back to England after the Crusades…

I've always been a fan of the baddie in films - and this film really belongs to Alan Rickman's "Sheriff" with a good supporting effort from Geraldine McEwan as his harridan witch cohort. They bring almost all of humour and menace. The bulk of the rest of the film is a pretty run-of-the-mill vehicle for Costner, Freeman and Mastrantonio - and moves along well enough as a pretty formulaic, very free…

Good production design but not a terribly entertaining adventure film. Kevin Costner's lack of accent was distracting and I didn't feel he and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio had great chemistry either. The only plus I will say Alan Rickman was wonderfully over-the-top as Sheriff of Nottingham which also leads to a weird tone throughout. **2.75/5**
