Robin Hood
1991movie
Fox's "Robin Hood" is obviously determined to be different. In the 1938 classic film, "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn, the director, Michael Curtiz, whipped up pure swashbuckling adventure for his dashing star, all played out on a bright Technicolor landscape. This new rendition, filmed entirely on rather muddy British locations, is done in moody tones of blue and gray, the permeating damp made visible in the breath of the actors. At the same time, Mr. Bergin's Robin is far from being airily heroic.
Robin Hood. Film. Monday 10 September 2012.Robin's outlawry, escape, encounters with Little John and Friar Tuck are routine, and the love story is limp. Not much pledging troth and sighing like furnaces about this Robin and Marian; he's phoning it in, she's truculent and dislikeable, and what varlet would not see through her (big Uma Thurman) disguise as a boy?
