How the mighty have fallen. This dreary
and depressing film chronicling the middle-age reunion of Robin Hood and Maid
Marian should have been planned better. After returning home from the Crusades
Robin discovers that Nottingham is still under oppression by the nasty Sheriff.
What’s more, England is now permanently ruled by King John. Perhaps the
most shocking of all is the fact that Robin’s lady love is now a nun, tending
to the sick and poor. When they reunite dull sparks fly yet again between them,
but it all seems artificial. The idea of seeing an over-the-hill Robin Hood may pique your curiosity but you’re better off not knowing.
OUR RATING— * ½
