Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
1991
****
Director: Kevin Reynolds
Cast: Kevin Costner, Mary Elisabeth Mastrantonio, Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman

If you can accept Kevin Costner as an Englishman, although he doesn't even try, this is a rather enjoyable adventure film with a slightly different Robin Hood story. However, towards the end the events get murkier and the fights get longer. The rating should perhaps be reassessed for unleashing Bryan Adams' horrid (Everything I Do) I Do It for You on the world.
