Robin hood Prince of thieves looks like an expensive production shot in many different amazing locations with plenty of background actors and costumes and famous capable casting but despite all this it feels a bit rushed, not that it is a bad film but it could have been even better. That may be due to Kevin Costner being on very high demand in 1990 shooting back to back projects so there was probably not enough time to focus 100% on this one.
Still good and watchable, with an excellent Morgan Freeman, it is of course the classic story of Robin hood saving the damsel in distress Marian from the treacherous sherrif of Nottingham, and needless to say this classic folk tale would not have made it intact into a film of today. Hollywood nowadays is all about erasing and rewritting movie history for ideological reasons, case in point the small production of Robyn Hood (2023) that transformed Robin into Robyn, a black woman, so if one wants to see something that resembles the original story the only way to look is towards the past.
