In which I miss the good old days (and yes Adventures of Robin Hood is the greatest Robin hood movie of all time and shoudl be honered as a film made int eh 30's SO ahead of it's time you'd think it was made in the 80's)
You want a really good Robin Hood Tv show, check out Robin Of Sherwood, by far the best version of the character. It has swashbuckling, darkness, and a kind of "mythycal" to it combinig history with fairy tales yet still being serious but in a good way. As for the Scott movie, I watched it recently and I really liked it. It wasn't that much of a depresing flick .I think Robin Hood can be told in well in both a fun and serious way, as long as you stay true to the character.
@jimkoenig400 check out my comment. I tried to point out that aspects of tragedy did plague Robin Hood and that he died tragically at a young age. And according to legend he fired 1of his last arrows out the window of his death bed room and ordered Lil John that where it landed he would be buried. So how did you like Prince of Theives? It was not 'canonical' but it worked and to ME @least that was 'swashbuckling' enough. I mean he was swinging from chandeleres and stuff! lol. So what is ur take?
PERSONALLY I think they could do both. Let me sound off. ONE of the reasons The 'new' Robin Hood (R.Scott) did not work is b/c he was waaaay to old. I mean At the OLDEST Robin should be mid thirties &even THATS too old according to canon. Robin DIED at a YOUNG AGE. He was like poisoned or hit by an arrow or something. But he died YOUNG. See Film Master Adam J's review of both movies. So they it could be swashbuckling & end as kind of an tragedy.I think U could have BOTH vibes & make it epic.
@jimkoenig400 Except everyone has been doing it like that. You apparently dont know original fairytales. You would be suprised how diffrent they were from Disney movies and childrens books. So, shut the fuck up.
the old robin hood movies are fun and awesome but the new robin hood movie with russell crowe and man it will suck so bad that it will get bad reviews
A agree. Errol Flynn IS Robin Hood.

Stardust and the Pirates movies were lame. While Troy, Gladiator, LOTR (for the most part), and this Robin Hood were awesome.

I personally think the Rusell Crowe movie sucked. Flynn was alright, but Kevin Costner was by far my favorite. But Crowe ruined the fuck out of it.

I do think the Errol Flyn Robin Hood was the best. The new one is not too bad though.
