      It was made then. Doesn’t mean it holds up as well.

      Look at both the robin hood movies released the same year.

      Uma thurmans looks like shite, kevin costners holds up a lot better

        If they’d done a version with Uma and Alan Rickman that would have been great.

          Are you saying Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was not a good maod marion? Or that Alan Rickman should have played Robin Hood?

          Rickmans Sheriff would be a tragedy not to have. But Mary was a better actress for the role in PoT. Uma would have been completely miss cast for that script

          Just trying to understand your vision

            I liked Uma’s Maid Marion and Rickman as the Sheriff.

            I can see Rickman playing Robin as a harrassed executive, with Jack Black as an overly imaginative bard who comes up with the laughing and swaggering schtick.

            If you want a really off the wall version, try ‘Robin And Marion’ with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. I particularly enjoyed Connery and Robert Shaw having a rematch after their ‘From Russia With Love’ fight.
