I really hate to admit it, but I love this movie! I guess it started with being bored out of my skull with the Bryan Adams song back then (was glad Smells Like Teen Spirit was released!), but the movie stands a lot better on its own anyway. If only Costner wasn't in it...
Alan Rickman is absolutely brilliant: hilariously evil! Morgan Freeman very composed as ever, Walcott very well and ugly filmed as Gisbourne, Nick Brimble a thorough Little John (he's an old 80s favorite from old Brit series), Mastrantonio lovely and sweet, but Costner is also as ever: total crap. He is totally and completely incapable of delivering with any true emotion (at all). It's very sad to see. The examples in this movie are numerous.
Looking away from that (although hard) and the American accents, it is a greatly entertaining movie that brings a smile to my face anyway: guess it's the boyhood attraction to the legend.
Perfect to pass a nice evening with, and sometimes that is all you want, right?
