Summary: A great way to spend a couple of hours!
Review: This has to be one of the best casts ever assembled for any movie. There is, quite simply, absolute top quality performances throughout. I rate Nicol Williamson, as a shambling, amusing & extremely devoted partner to Connery's Robin Hood, as best actor, but I split hairs! The script is very well delivered (understandably!). The sweeping countryside scenes are lovingly & beautifully shot. The score is just great, with a fine, tuneful melody that is hauntingly repeated during the whole movie. Not one to cry at movies, the sad ending here would bring tears to a glass eye! Do NOT miss watching this movie!

Summary: A wonderful, wonderful movie
Review: This movie is an undiscovered gem. It is not only a beautiful love story, but it is also attempts to present a realistic picture of the age of the Crusades.The acting is wonderful. The scenery is gorgeous. The audience is treated with respect. The writing is wonderful. You can stop reading now, as this should be enough to make you buy the movie. Two additional points: the movie contains the best once sentance describtion of the middle age mind set: "he was my king" and watch this movie and you will get Eddie Izzard's joke in his HBO stand up routine.

Summary: A great sequel...but to what?
Review: This movie isn't so much a sequel to The Adventures of Robin Hood as it is to The Lion in Winter. James Goldman wrote the scripts for both and he seems to have a fetish for the Plantagenets. This movie opens with Robin and Little John in the service of a very mad Richard the Lionhearted (wonderfully played by the late Richard Harris). They make their way back to Sherwood to find that Maid Marian has become a nun. (A little tip: if, in a British legend, your girlfriend becomes a nun, you just know it is going to end badly.) The only person who seems truly happy to see Robin again after twenty years is the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw). Watching him fight Sean Connery again, I felt as if this might also be a sequel to From Russia With Love! The movie is a very good bittersweet romance between famous lovers in their later years. It is not on the same level as The Lion in Winter, but then, how few things are. Watching it, I was reminded how wonderful it is to see Connery act in a real role - instead of mouthing the inanities they give him now ("Welcome to the Rock!"). It is a very good period piece, made the way the used to make them. For any Sean Connery fan, it is a must.

Summary: connerys finest
Review: this must be the most under rated movie of its time. The film features a great cast, apart from mr legend himself, theres the brilliant robert shaw in one of his finest performances, audrey of course who is on top form in what can be described as her most moving role of her career, an absolotely electric cameo from richard harris who proves for the second time that he can match connerys screen presence pound for pound and then theres a galaxy of british talent headed by nichol williamson (little john), delhom elliot, ian holm and even ronnie corbett! This is the best film to be made about the stocking clad legend with connery proving that there has never been an actor who can match his toughness, wit, looks and at the same time display a vunerabilitly that can only fail to move the coldish of fish. A film that will be recognised in years to come as a masterpiece, please lets rush the studios to release it on dvd with some great features. by the way the brilliant soundtrack by the greatest of all film composers john barry has just been released. You must watch this film!!

Summary: Gritty
Review: Very raw. Not your typical Hollywood production. These two are no longer spring chickens either. More of the reality of an old love than the frills. Audrey Hepburn only gets better with age, and the butt shot of Sean Connery was an unexpected, funny bonus. This isn't a film I would purchase and watch over and over, but I enjoyed it. I give it 3 1/2 stars.

Summary: Hearts in full bloom
Review: When we surf over to the hundreds of reviews for the Matrix and Lord of the Rings, here lurks a more beautiful and heroic story. Connery was never better then in the mid 1970's, always robust but distilled with a dogged patina by life being lived. And Mrs Hepburn adds such gracefull depth. I feel better whenever I think about this film, and though Connery is the biggest reason to see it, the feel of the story is so welcome when one is tired of special effects and gratuitous sex. Its very British, in a gallant, piquant, wisely variegated way.
