Over the years, it seems that the Robin Hood saga has been a accepted of sorts for film makers to re-invent, manipulate, and showcase again and again. No doubt due to global appeal and the premise of a hero taking from the rich, giving to the terrible, and fighting the great fight.

Of all the Robin Hood films ever produced, it’s readily apparent that Prince of Thieves relies less on well-behaved historical accuracy and leans more toward Hollywood flair which serene makes for an involving film. Despite using no English accent (which appears to grate on some reviewers for some reason), Kevin Costner presents himself well in the role of Robin Hood. Coupled with shapely performances from Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, (to name unbiased a few), the yarn moves at an inviting drag and hits the price as a stand up adventure movie that doesn’t disappoint.

As for the current 2 disc special edition release of this movie, it fair got a whole lot better. Not having to flip the disc over any more to glimpse the entire feature like in the first release, you now have a unusual digital transfer and a remastered DTS 5.1 soundtrack and both are outstanding. On disc 2 you have tall bonus material enhancing the value and enjoyment even further. Included is a decent documentary on the making of Prince of Thieves, Bryan Adams performing his music video of ‘(Everything I do) I do it for you’, an interactive mediaeval weapons gallery, cast and crew bios, production notes, interviews with cast and crew, and trailers and t.v. spots.

You don’t really have to be a die-hard Robin Hood fan to devour this movie. The film has a few flaws and stretches the historical aspect somewhat but it plays out well with plenty of action, adventure, humor, and fun. This special edition release would be a superb addition to any DVD collection and I recommend it to everyone.

I was at [local store] one day and saw the extended Robin Hood DVD on sale. I decided to win it. I view that I liked all the swordplay, action, fantasy tales. I have to converse you. It was a sizable seize! It was only [$$] for such a big extended movie.

Plot – Our notorious Robin Hood is in a Jerusalem prison. He escapes with a moor, Azeem (Morgan Freeman), and his friend, Peter. Peter doesn’t invent it, but wants Robin to promise that he will protect his sister, Marion. Robin agrees and finds his device home with Azeem. They glimpse Robin’s father tiring, and their servant blinded. The Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman, who is perfect in the role) killed Robin’s father and is doing contaminated deeds to the awful people in the place. Robin and Azeem destroy up in Sherwood Forest and meet its occupants, including John Tiny and Will Scarlett. They all team up and settle to fight aid against the Sheriff. (94/100)

Acting – A lot of people abhor how Kevin Costner speaks in this movie. I really didn’t leer a change in his lisp at all. So it didn’t really bother me! I notion Kevin did well as Robin. Christian Slater and Alan Rickman were the two who stole the movie. Christian was vast as the mysterious and confusing Will Scarlett. Alan Rickman was hilarious and cross as the Sheriff. They both were titanic and should have deserved tall credit for their positions. Also, there is a short cameo by Sean Connery. (96/100)

Action and Violence – There is a lot of action and violence in this movie. It could have been rated R. There is a lot of swordplay, arrows being fired into faces, fist fights, and blood. I believe any action man would like this movie. Valuable Action Scenes : Overrun By Celts, Fiery Assault, Cheating The Hangman, Storming The Castle, and Final Duel. To check out these scenes, remove the DVD and access them through Scene Selection. (95/100)

Sexual Themes – There are some sexual themes in this sage. There is a scene where Marion is about to be raped from the Sheriff. Also, Robin swims around nude under a waterfall. So there is some sexual inform. I don’t really mediate it was needed though. (89/100)

The Two Discs and The Extended Version – The extended version is very marvelous. It explains a lot more about the Sheriff. There is also some action save into some places. It is worth the money.

The extended version comes with two discs. Thankfully, you didn’t have to “turn the disc over” to explore the “whole” movie. So I was satisfied that I could unbiased look the whole feature film on one disc. The other discs are loaded with extras. There is commentaries, documentaries, making of features, galleries, trailers, and more.

Extended Version (98/100) The Two Discs (94/100)
