The film gives many pokes to some other well know Robin Hood films: The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Cary Elwes played a Robin Hood much akin to Errol Flynn, but the film as a whole was mostly directed with satire toward Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Between cheap sets and exaggerated sword play, I thought this film also had a good amount of development between the characters {which we rarely see any more.}Also, it had a remarkable cast of actors including Patrick Stewart as Richard I. This has been the sixth Robin Hood film I have seen.
If you like satire and Medieval humor, you may enjoy this film{ though, there is a lot of crudeness and content in it without a TV blocker}. Anyhow, I was genuinely surprised that the film did not mock the Middle Ages as an ignorant and barbarous time. So for me, that was also a big brownie point for it!
Sounds funny. Mel Brooks style.
ReplyDeleteHa-Ha!Yes!
Deleteyeah, some of the one-liners were "classic"
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteI really enjoyed watching this film with you. I am so thankful we have the Clear Play. It takes away so much filth and leaves the "clean" funny stuff. I think Cary Elwes did a really good job. His part was much different than the part he did in the film Glory. Those differing parts helped to showcase his acting ability. I enjoyed watching this with you so much!
ReplyDeleteHe was good in Princess Bride too!
DeleteThat was a fun day watching that with you. I was very surprised how clean it came out with the clear play! I enjoyed it and had a couple laughs! And of course I was with the best company that I could’ve been with! Sherry
