Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves – Extended Version
Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater, Alan Rickman, and Sean Connery star in the Extended Version of this historical action-adventure breathing new life into the legendary, swashbuckling hero who defends the poor and battles the evil Sheriff of Nottingham in England's Sherwood Forest. After Robin barely survives a watery skirmish with Little John (Nick Brimble), the two become allies, and Robin joins forces with Little John's band of robber thieves, along with a philosophizing Moor (Freeman). The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song.
Critic Reviews:
- " This is a big, colorful, sharp-witted and beautifully photographed rendering of the tale of the olde English guerrilla fighter. " – Ralph Novak
- " It's fun and frantic, although the wit falls way short. " – Philip Thomas
- " On the whole, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a lot of fun and will doubtless clean up at the box office the first couple of weeks. " – Chris Hicks
