Robin and Marian
By SAI81 (360 reviews) from Tonbridge , 06 Dec 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a refreshingly different take on the Robin Hood legend which sees Robin (Sean Connery) returning from the crusades, reforming his band of merry men, meeting up with Marian (Audrey Hepburn), now a nun and doing battle again with the Sherrif of Nottingham.
Though it takes a little long to get Robin back to Sherwood Richard Lester's film is a relentless charmer. Written by James (Brother of William) Goldman the script is witty and exciting, giving a new spin on characters we know well. It's also well cast. Connery makes for a credible middle aged Robin as you remain convinced that he can still handle himself. However the show is rather stolen from under him. Audrey Hepburn's last film before this had been 9 years previously and she makes for a radiant Marian. At 47 she's as beautiful as ever and she invests Marian with great dignity and conviction.
The ending is quite a change in tone from your usual Robin Hood film and will bring tears to most eyes, particularly as Hepburn delivers an excellent final speech. Overall an enjoyably different swashbuckler.- Was this review helpful to you?

(4)Interesting Idea
By TonyPP (24 reviews) from Edinburgh , 16 Nov 2009This is an interesting idea that brings a rather melancholy feel to the Robin Hood sage, despite Connery's best efforts to bring some humour. ITs an intriguing watch and the two leads are solid, but you end up feeling the film could have done with more of the bad guys - Ian Holm's angry King John and Robert Shaw's intriguing take on the Sheriff.- Was this review helpful to you?

Nowhere near Errol Flynn
By Gutterboy (388 reviews) from Sheffield , 11 Feb 2006Very average Robin Hood adaptation based around the later years of his life. Definietly stick to the 1930s Flynn classic.- Was this review helpful to you?

A alright film but ...
By Bryan#6 from LONDON , 18 Aug 2004A alright film but runs out of steam by the end and does not know where it wants to go. I wondered whether they had cut some bits of it as some it did not make sense.- Was this review helpful to you?
