The Adventures of Robin Hood

(1/1)

Manix:
Did anyone else see this movie? I bought the DVD awhile ago from Best Buy, but I wasn't sure what to make of it, other than it had Errol Flynn, and Olivia De Haviland on the cover. Sure i coul dhave rented first, but A true movie fan make smany impulse buying decisions when it comes to DVDS.

I almost feel ashamed that a movie made over sixty years ago is so much better than the tripe we're getting nowadays. I loved ever minute of this movie. Flynn is a great "dashing" hero, and Basil Rathbone is a great Evil, conniving villain. We have three in the movie, scheming Guy of Gisbourne (Basil) the Incompetent sherrif, and an affete Prince Jon (who I beleive is played by Claude Rains). All great and entertaining. Plus it contains lines like these.

MAID MARIAN (sounding quietly outraged): You speak treason.
ROBIN: Fluently my lady.

Great movie

Not as good as this Robin Hood.

Actually, I've never seen the one you're talking about.

I've watched it a few times...it's okay.  I'm not a big fan of how a lot of older movies had actors that tended to overdo it (I understand this was how they did it back then, I just don't like it).  Errol Flynn was one of those that overdid it, and according to IMDB was quite an angry person.  Something about the whole thing kind of ticked me off.  I think it was superbly mediocre.
