Arrow Flynn: The Adventures of Robin Hood

by George_Chabot George_Chabot is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 10 '00
Pros: Top notch acting by all concerned
Cons: None
Errol Flynn IS Robin Hood, as Johnny Weissmueller IS Tarzan, as Sean Connery IS Bond, James Bond. Once these people played the roles, they were theirs forever. As long as there is celluloid, VHS, DVD, or other media, there will be a Robin Hood, and it ...

"To The Tables Everybody And Stuff Yourselves"

by blade_runner83 , Jan 24 '05
Pros: Flynn. Rains. de Havilland. Rathbone. Energy. Set-pieces. Technicolor. Korngold's score. Great DVD
Cons: None
It seems odd now, but Errol Flynn was not Warner Brothers intended choice to play the title character in their seminal 1938 classic The Adventures of Robin Hood . Rather than having the dashing Tasmanian, studio executives originally wanted to ...

“Welcome to Sherwood!”

by amfunee , Jul 06 '09
Pros: Exciting adventure/costume drama, exceptionally well made and paced, with numerous enjoyable performances and witty dialogue.
Cons: Broad at times, with some overstated drama and silly slapstick.
I dunno: there’s something loveable about a man who whales smilingly on castle guards with a deer he’s flopped up on his shoulders. But, even more remarkably, Errol Flynn, as the hero of “The Adventures of Robin ...

Men in Tights and Sequins

by konky2000 , Sep 01 '03
Pros: Marion's costumes, campy dialogue and acting.
Cons: Lack of tension or suspense, hokey action scenes and dialogue.
My local theater, for some odd reason, was showing a restored print of this film on its big screen. ...

"Wlecome to Sherwood!"

by welshbard , Sep 10 '01
Pros: ErrolFlynn, Olivia De Haviland, Basil Rathbone, et al
Cons: Does show it's age
Simply the definitive movie about Robin Hood. And the best, bare none. And that includes Kevin Costner's overrated hymn to 90's political correctness.

The story is well known, King Richard the Lionhearted has fallen into the clutches of his...

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

by BrianKoller Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 10 '00
Pros: costumes, sets, direction, cast, flair, action
Cons: simplistic characters and story
One of the first technicolor spectaculars, "The Adventures of Robin Hood" was an enormous commercial and critical success. The sets, costumes and cast were the best that Warner Brothers could provide. There was only one problem: in a successful...

"I'LL HAVE HIM DANGLING IN A WEEK."

by BR-549.5 , Oct 24 '01
Pros: A magnificent spectacle that gets better each time you see it.
Cons: Tinseltown has forgotten how to make pictures like this.
With those words a sentence of death is decreed by Basil Rathbone; (Sir Guy of Gisbourne) against the righteous outlaw Robin Hood. The Adventures of Robin Hood; (1938) is a true gem from Hollywood's golden age of films. Errol Flynn shines as the ...

Bullseye!

by Cassady , Jun 21 '01
Pros: Grand-scale Hollywood production. Robust acting and action from the top down. Glorious Technicolor.
Cons: Probably not the most realistic depiction of medieval English life. Mish-mosh of accents.
This won't take any awards as best picture ever made, but what a specimen of Hollywood's Golden-Age dream factory working at peak efficiency to make marvelous entertainment for young and old alike. Errol Flynn is every inch Sir Robin of Locksley, a...

The definitive Robin Hood

by lsdavis , Sep 26 '00
Pros: Flynn's and DeHavilland's on-screen chemistry. Timeless story. Gorgeous sets and costumes. Great score
Cons: Don't look for historical accuracy...it's not here
I love Errol Flynn...To me he epitomizes the Swashbuckling hero with his roguish smile and dashing good looks. No matter how many times they make or re-make this classic tale, they will always be compared to this 1938 Errol Flynn classic. The on-screen...

The white hats win it!

by Mikeop , Jan 06 '01
Pros: Flynn and great supporting cast; production values
Cons: oversimplistic plot situations
Rarely in life is good and evil so clearly delineated as it is in this 1938 Warner Brothers film--by 1191, King Richard the Lion-Hearted, the Norman Conqueror, has left England to fight in the Crusades and in his absence, his brother Prince John...

The Best Movie EVER!!

by DrBexHort , Nov 16 '00
Pros: Very entertaining, great scenery, color, and costumes
Cons: Sequence showing physical assault of a priest, as well as (almost) sexual assault
"The Adventures of Robin Hood", starring Errol Flynn, is easily one of the most enjoyable films ever created for family viewing. From start to finish, it proves to be full of rip-roaring, swashbuckling fun.

This movie would best be...
