Robin Hood

Have there been enough versions of Robin Hood on TV and cinema?

After the BBC relaunch a couple of years ago. (Only watched 1episode,
HTV's productions was way more fun.)

We now have Russell Crow as the robber of legend.

have watched the trailer of crowes versions...looks superb...

Enough with Robin Hood for me ... although I'll probably watch the new film and love it anyway

Every time I think about a Robin Hood Film now, that bloody awful Bryan Adams song " Everything I do, I do for you " comes to mind. I think it was number 1 in the charts for about a Year, and on EVERYWHERE I went, at the time !!!!........

I could see the film being quite good. The BBC series ... I watched the first episode and I'm not sure I've ever seen anything as pathetic. Every part of it was terrible.

This was the best version...

Russell crow = win.. so don't care.. and I kinda like the Robin Hood stories.. I was in Sherwood forest actually last night.( what's left of it) Often go there as its local to me. Next month in Nottingham they have a month of celebrations for Robin Hood.

Just so long as Bryan Adams doesn't end up at number one for the whole year again....

As a small child, I used to love the BBC TV series with Richard Greene playing Robin, but the many films and TV series that followed haven't been up to much, though Sean's boy Jason Connery wasn't too bad. The all-time worst was probably Kevin Costner in a dreadful film that appeared to have been filmed in Yellowstone National Park. He lands near Dover at the start of the film, and is in Nottingham later that day, you couldn't even do that today by Inter-City.

the next person who lays into the version with Alan Rickman in it - I'll cut their heart out with a spoon.

I quite like Alan Rickman, but his acting in that film was so over the top, he was coming up the other side. The story at the time was that Costner felt so overshadowed by Rickman when the two were on screen together, he had most of his scenes cut, but that didn't help Kevin much. He was still just as forgettable as he has been in almost every other film he's ever appeared in.

I was up for a part as a Norman Soldier but the filming clashed with a pre booked hols to the USA

Noooooooooooooooooooooo more with the Hood
And why can't they cast BRITISH people to play BRITISH legends?????? Mel Gibson as William Wallace, Kevin Kosner as Robin Hood and now Russel bleedin Crow (hmmmm, Sean Bean as an Irishman ).
Next thing you know Jamed Bond will have a American accent and Danger Mouse will be Antipidean

The Greatest Robin Hood of them all was played by a born and bred Englishman.
