Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (PG-13, 1991)

I love this movie. It is entertaining, funny, and overall enthralling. I highly reccomend it. The action is fun and the acting is great. Yes, it is long, but it's worth it. PARENTS: this is a very violent film; it is not a PG-rated family film; there's blood, dismemberments, and assaults. Please, watch it with your kids. Thanks for reading. -Movie Man

Exelent movie,but even alittle iffy for me to be watching during one scene,but it has positive points!

Haha, 'honorable'(good 1, Ugli Chic). Yeah right. I do agree that the movie is good, but only for age 13 and above. This because it's very violent, does show a lot of blood and gore in some scenes; the witchcraft; the language; and the sexual content. Parents, this is not a 'kid-friendly' movie; if you have younger kids, I advise watching this movie before showing it to them. If you have no worries, go for it! <>< i love oranges

I absolutely LOVE this version of the Robin Hood legend! Even though it's not exactly historically correct (example: the Sheriff of Nottingham ruling the kingdom instead of the infamous Prince John), I like how the directors kept the script flowing smoothly. I think the violence in this movie suits the time period; some people might protest "It's TOO violent!" but I say, "Hey, it's life!" Chemistry between Robin and Maid Marian was perfect; they weren't too mushy or lovestruck-dumb. Loved the wedding scene.Sorry, I kinda hate really mushy movies, I love the strong heros and heroines:) Another reason to love Fanny and Marian: they both know how to handle swords and weaponry! A whole lot of creative warfare, and I love Robin's touch with his bow! I would recommend this movie for ages 12+ b/c amount of violence, some sorcery, and sexual content might be questionable with some people's beliefs. Also,Morgiana the witch is quite creepy, might scare younger ones; and kids may not understand what the 'Honorable' sheriff of nottingham is trying to do to Marian or why she's screaming during the attempted rape scene. That, and the fact that Marian sees Robin bathing from behind. Otherwise, it's not that bad.

This is definitely not an Oscar-winning film. That doesn't mean it isn't good though. It is entertaining and funny, and is really interesting. You really get engrossed by it. Kids 10 and up can handle the medieval violence, although you may have to explain a bit and have talk when the evil guy tries to rape a lady (nothing happens though) and it may just go in one ear and out the other.

I like this version. And I like Costner's version of Robin of Locksley. It is a bit violent (a man gets his hand chopped off for stealing bread, a man is shown with his eyes removed, a man has an arrow shot clear through his hand,) and while it isn't very true to the source material, and we all know the "Rob from the rich and give to the poor" part is more socialism than chivalry. But who cares? PoT is a fun and exciting medieval epic! (And according to IMDb, the line was "Blow me, he cleared it", not "F--- me, he cleared it.)
