Kevin Costner's lousy English accent is a small obstacle in this often exciting version of the Robin Hood fable. That aside, it's refreshing to have a preface to the old story in which we meet the robber hero of Sherwood Forest as a soldier in King Richard's Crusades, coming home to find his people under siege from the cruelties of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman). After Robin and his community of outcasts and fighters take to the trees, director Kevin Reynolds (Fandango, 187) is on more familiar narrative ground, and he goes for the gusto with lots of original action (Robin shoots two arrows simultaneously from his bow in two directions). Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Marion, makes a convincing damsel in distress, and Morgan Freeman brings dignity to his role as Robin's Moor friend. Alan Rickman, however, gets the most attention for his scene-chewing role as the rotten sheriff, an almost campy performance that is highly entertaining but perhaps a little out of sorts with the rest of the film. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars A great feel good movie all round!.......2007-09-13

I love this film, always have... when I saw it was being released again I knew I had to buy it, as the first time it was released you had to flip the DVD in the middle of the film. This one not only gives you the entire film on one DVD, but also includes about 15 minutes of new footage, along with a 2nd Special Feature disc. To be honest the 'new' footage I can see why it was cut out, but the story is still one I love. Every time this is on you can't help to join in and root for Robin Hood. Stellar cast!

2 out of 5 stars Great movie...weird format.......2007-09-05

The most notable thing about this product isn't the movie or special features, but the arrangement of items on the disk. It's a two -sided DVD, which is fine. But what's weird is, instead of putting the movie on one side and the special features on the other, they put the special features on side one with half of the movie. The movie actually stops half way through and instructs you to flip it over so you can finish watching it!! This is definitely a major downside. It's a great movie, so if you haven't seen it yet, I would strongly suggest watching it at some point. But if you're planning on buying it, you might want to wait until a different DVD version comes out, so that you can avoid having to get up in the middle of your movie to flip it over.

I have watched this movie a hundred times - used to use it to fall asleep by every night while going through a rough time - wanted to swing thru the trees in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood & forget about the rest of the world - Kevin Costner is absolutely fabulous as the Prince of Thieves - would love to be his Marion

5 out of 5 stars Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.......2007-05-14

Charming love story with a good bit of humor built in. Kevin Costner is perfect for the part of Robin Hood. Not only is he gorgeous, but you truly believe that he's capable of being that hero that Robin Hood was.

Film buffs may remember the tangled tale of competing Robin Hood projects in 1991. Kevin Costner, riding high from his Oscar wins for Dances with Wolves, had his pick of projects at the time, and he juggled his interest in parallel Hood films that were under development at different studios. Costner chose Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, of course, directed by his friend Kevin Reynolds, while the other production (the one described here), attached to veteran British director John Irvin (The Dogs of War), ended up on cable television with another Yank, Patrick Bergin, in the lead. Comparisons were inevitable, even though the two films were very different from one another. A little harder edged and more surprising than Reynolds's work, the Irvin-Bergin movie made all that medieval heroism seem more an effort of the heart than previous versions. Roughing things up a bit is Uma Thurman as a bratty Maid Marion, not quite the traditional damsel in distress of yesteryear. Irvin keeps the adventure quotient up, but this is simply a darker, grittier variation on the old tale. With Jürgen Prochnow, Jeroen Krabbé, and Conrad Asquith. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Bullseye! .......2007-07-29

The best movie version of this tale by far. The acting, directing, especially the stage direction, the incredible camera work, the splendid screenplay, and the witty dialog blend artfully with the production to create magnificent historical verisimiliture (do read John Holt's Robin Hood). There is a wonderful cameo by Edward Fox as Prince John, which by itself is worth the price of the film.

3 out of 5 stars Robin Hood - Patrick Bergin.......2007-06-17

This product did not live up to the Robin Hood that I remember such as The Adventure's Of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn & Olivia De Havilland (1938) and Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (1991) these two are 10's. but this Robin Hood with Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman I would rate as a 3 it was medi-oaker.

5 out of 5 stars A good take on the legend.......2007-03-17

This version of Robin Hood puts the conflict on a local level rather than a national level, like most of the other tellings of the story. Robin is battling the evil in his own backyard, rather than dealing with the wrong doings of Prince John and the absence of Richard the Lionheart. I think Patrick Bergin did a wonderful job as Robin Hood and I think Uma Thurman gives my favorite performance as Marian.

5 out of 5 stars Robin Hood.......2007-03-12

The best Robin Hood movie ever! Patrick Bergin is excellent; has such a twinkle in his eye! The movie just gets better and better with repeated viewings!

5 out of 5 stars A uniquely real Robin Hood.......2007-03-08

Real-seeming people in real-seeming situations. The best I have ever seen.

An old fossil.

    First let me say I am a HUGE Kevin Costner fan. But, I can't give a review because when I clicked on the Kevin Costner 3 pack to see what movies were in the pack they weren't listed. I was really disappointed that I have no idea what three movies are included in this package. I don't want to buy three movies that I already have. I was really interested in this item, but now don't know if I would be interested in it or not.

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as Marion, makes a convincing damsel in distress, and Morgan Freeman brings dignity to his role as Robin's Moor friend. Alan Rickman, however, gets the most attention for his scene-chewing role as the rotten sheriff, an almost campy performance that is highly entertaining but perhaps a little out of sorts with the rest of the film. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars A great feel good movie all round!.......2007-09-13

    I love this film, always have... when I saw it was being released again I knew I had to buy it, as the first time it was released you had to flip the DVD in the middle of the film. This one not only gives you the entire film on one DVD, but also includes about 15 minutes of new footage, along with a 2nd Special Feature disc. To be honest the 'new' footage I can see why it was cut out, but the story is still one I love. Every time this is on you can't help to join in and root for Robin Hood. Stellar cast!

    2 out of 5 stars Great movie...weird format.......2007-09-05

    The most notable thing about this product isn't the movie or special features, but the arrangement of items on the disk. It's a two -sided DVD, which is fine. But what's weird is, instead of putting the movie on one side and the special features on the other, they put the special features on side one with half of the movie. The movie actually stops half way through and instructs you to flip it over so you can finish watching it!! This is definitely a major downside. It's a great movie, so if you haven't seen it yet, I would strongly suggest watching it at some point. But if you're planning on buying it, you might want to wait until a different DVD version comes out, so that you can avoid having to get up in the middle of your movie to flip it over.

    1 out of 5 stars PASS!PASS!PASS!.......2007-07-27

    I wont bore you with the details...suffice it to say that it was a let down in every sense of the word. View at your own risk....of falling asleep. Its better than Ambien.

    5 out of 5 stars Costner is the real Robin Hood.......2007-07-15

    I have watched this movie a hundred times - used to use it to fall asleep by every night while going through a rough time - wanted to swing thru the trees in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood & forget about the rest of the world - Kevin Costner is absolutely fabulous as the Prince of Thieves - would love to be his Marion

    5 out of 5 stars Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.......2007-05-14

    Charming love story with a good bit of humor built in. Kevin Costner is perfect for the part of Robin Hood. Not only is he gorgeous, but you truly believe that he's capable of being that hero that Robin Hood was.
