Not a bad film. Not great either. Connery and Hepburn are fine. There is a great supporting cast of Robert Shaw, Nicol Williamson, Denholm Elliott, Ian Holm, Ronnie Barker (one half of the Two Ronnies) but the trouble is we see soooooo little of them. I don't think Barker had more than 2 words to say! And to have the great talent of Ian Holm wasted on a less than 5 minute seen was criminal. Richar... read more

Returning from the Crusades through France, they are present when the crazy King Richard the Lionhearted meets a ludicrous and undignified death. The two comrades decide that it is time to go home again. Things it turns out, haven't changed all that much in Sherwood Forest. They meet Friar Tuck and Will Scarlett hunting deer near their old encampment. The people are suffering from the same old injustices. Robin's nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham, is still in control. The biggest change has happened in the life of Maid Marian; she has been transplanted to Kirkly Abbey where she is the Mother Superior. But not for long. When the Sheriff arrives to close down the Abbey and imprison the nuns on the orders of the anti-papist new king, Robin "rescues" her. They flee into the forest where their long-lapsed love is soon rekindled. Surrounded by a band of men and boys from the countryside who remember his heroic exploits in the past, Robin awaits a confrontation with the forces of law and order.... (more)(less)
"3.1.
Tunnetun tarinan humoristisessa uudelleenkerronnassa Sean Connery on Robin Hood, Audrey Hepburn lady Marian ja tapahtumat taas sijoittuvat lukuisia vuosia useimpia Robbaritarinoita myöhäisempään ajanjaksoon. Historialliseksi epookiksi tästä ei kyllä ole - joukkokohtauksissa suurimpia taisteluja myöten on kerralla näkyvissä ehkä 50 ukkoa -, ja tarina myötäilee pienestä erilaisuudestaan huolimatta liiaksi tuttua Robbarikaavaa, mutta näyttelijät ovat mainioita ja kevyt humoris"
"3.1
Ei ollenkaan hassumpi Robbarileffa. Näyttelijäosasto toimii nimimiestensä ansiosta hienosti, etenkin Robert Shaw ilkeänä Sheriffinä. Kuitenkin tarinan yksipuolisuus ja toimintakohtausten pienimuotoinen kömpelyys rokottavat pisteitä jonniin verran. Mutta ei ollenkaan huono leffa ole kyseessä."

"Kuvastoltaan ja näyttelijöiltään oikein pätevää settiä mutta kokonaisuus jää lopulta valitettavasti aika tunneköyhäksi tönöttämiseksi. Richard Harrisin näkemys kaimastaan Leijonamielestä on kylläkin oikein mielenkiintoinen."

I don't think Barker had more than 2 words to say! And to have the great talent of Ian Holm wasted on a less than 5 minute seen was criminal. Richard Harris stands out as the villainous Richard the Lion-Heart and has some great dialogue. Its a tad slow in parts but the battle between Robin and the Sheriff is worth seeing as is the final seen, which is very touching. (aided by Connery's performance). Interesteringly it was not Connery's only apperance in a Robin Hood film. He also had a speaking cameo as King Richard in Robin Hood: Prince of T” read more
