Audience Reviews for The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men

May 20, 2010

One of the best renditions of the Robin Hood Legend, second only to The Errol Flynn version.

Kyle S Super Reviewer
Jan 27, 2010

It's not bad, but it was a pointless movie to make. It doesn't improve on Errol Flynn's version at all, in fact it's inferior. I think it's a little bit more kid friendly, but that's about it. The acting was so-so and the story flows about as good as it can. Overall, it's better than the Kevin Costner version, but that's something not too hard to achieve.
