Adventures in Sherwood.

Back when movies were fun and had loads of adventures, none had more then THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. Flynn was just gold in this movie about a man who fights for the poor.

I had seen this movie several times a child and loved it. I got it on dvd when this double disc edition came out, and it has been sitting on my shelf ever since. On saturday my wife and I were searching for a movie to watch (with over 2100 original - not burned - dvds to choose from my collection, it sometimes take a while). We came to Robin Hood and my wife had never seen it.

Needless to say I jumped at the chance to watch this again and it is one amazing film!!! Within the first act everything is established. Robin fights for the poor against the forces of Nottingham, led by Prince John.

Remember when we didnt need a prequel to intro a character that would become an icon, a hero, someone we could cheer for. Today it seems like we need to know every single detail of someone's life in order to cheer for them. We need to see his parents murdered, or see him train, etc. Let's have more prequels, so we can just waste production capital on stuff no one cares about. Raiders of the Lost Ark didnt have a prequel to tell us who indiana jones was.

Anyway, Robin Hood is an excellent film which you should buy on dvd. Wal-Mart has it for $4.00 bucks for F SAKES!!!!! (thanks to fellow collector for finding a deal on that).

One more thing, there is one part where Marion asks Robin why does he bother trying to help people and risk his life. He could've just had a good comfortable life, he had money and land, and Prince John would have accepted him as a rich nobleman. Robin gave up everything to fight for those who were not strong enough to fight themselves. He risked it all, and Marion was confused and wanted to know why.

Robin answers. "You just don't get it do you."

and if you need more explanation, then you dont get it either.
