Rating—out
of 5 Mickey Mouse ears: 3 ears. 1 for Robin Hood, 1 for Maid Marian, and 1 for
the music.
Hollywood
has tackled the legend of Robin Hood several times, and I would say this is
solidly in the top 5. I will get to a ranking later. Many a girl I know has
said that they had a crush on this foxy Robin Hood growing up. He is amazing
and he does the “Sloppy Swish”. Maid Marian is pretty foxy too. Little John is
an ok sidekick. Prince John is kind of a baby, much like Joffrey in Game of
Thrones. The music is good; “Oo De Lally” is fun and “Love” is charming.
The
top 5 Robin Hood movies: I would say the latest Robin Hood with Russell Crowe is #5. I’ve never seen The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), so
I will put it at #4. Robin Hood (Disney) at #3. Robin Hood: Men in Tights at #2. And
behind the unstoppable Kevin Costner, Robin
Hood: Prince of Thieves at #1. Only Disney’s Robin Hood will be eligible for my bracket and it should do ok.
