The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Film Journal 2013 (158 movies items)

"17/5 If you like seeing Errol Flynn grin a lot while making jokes about how fat people are fat, I whole-heartedly recommend The Adventures of Robin Hood. If there is something that always prevents me from fully loving these so-called "boy's adventure" -films it is that I don't drink and ergo I can never have a hangover to have while watching one of these. But that doesn't mean I can't get something out of them, and there's certainly a lot to get out of this one. Flynn is a great combination of "

"5.5. Koska katsoin tämän sunnuntaina, voitte vain arvata oliko minulla krapula. Tällä kertaa pizzan sijaan söin hampurilaisia. Errol Flynnin Robin Hoodissa ei tehdä mitään muuta kuin seikkailla tai virnuilla. Siinä on jatkuvasti käynnissä joko miekkailukohtaus tai jotain Robin Hoodin joukkojen kasvattamiseen liittyvää veijarimaista hauskanpitoa. Technicolor ja värikkäät sukkahousut näyttävät hienoilta, ja Warnerin BD-julkaisu on aivan häikäisevän hienoa katsottavaa. Harm"

Movie Reviews (part 7) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Playful Errol Flynn. Excellent villainous Basil Rathbone. The sword fights. The hilarious fun sequence where a evil soldier laughs only to get shot in the belly by Robin Hood seconds later. Memorable scenes stolen in countless Hood adaptations later. High pace. Great Technicolor footage. The Downs: That they don't make 'em like this anymore. "

" Throughout the course of my natural unnatural life, I have never ever seen an Errol Flynn movie, till this one. But by god, I've always wanted to. After reading articles like this, this, and this, I was partially horrified, but also amused and fascinated. What kind of a guy acts like that?? Only a freak as badass (and as horny) as Errol. And a certain friend of mine (he knows who he is) pestered me to watch The Adventures of Robin Hood, and so I finally did and my my Errol is quite the char"

Year By Year Of My Favorite Flix (94 movies items)

" Alot of the movies from this period & the '40's are films that I first watched as a kid, & therefore, I tend to like more 'em more for sentimental reasons than because of their place in the movie history hierarchy. The Adventures Of Robin Hood is a good f'rinstance. Whenever I watch this movie, it always reminds me of those times when I was at that age in which I still believed heroes where chivalrous, suave, gave to the poor, & were so cool, that even if they were always sporting around in a "
