Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the story of Robin Hood who decides to [spoiler] avenge his father who was murdered by the Sheriff of Nottingham, [/spoiler] and on his adventures he joins forces with Little John and his band of thieves in order to overcome to evils of the Sheriff.

I'd never seen this film until recently, despite it being released so long ago. It was one of those films that just got lost in my watchlist until recently; when it was recommended to me. I really thought this movie was a lot of fun, it was a really fun watch, there was some action, some history and a sprinkle of comedy. This film really dug more into the backstory of Robin Hood than other films dealing with the same subject matter. All of the characters were really well acted and as we all know, Alan Rickman plays an incredible villain. Morgan Freeman's character, Azeem really carried the comedic aspect of the film and he was definitely the character whose lines I felt myself laughing at the most, although there were also a few points where each individual character got their chance to shine with their own humour, including the villain; the Sheriff of Nottingham.

In all honesty, I think this might be my favourite portrayal of Robin Hood to date. It was fun, sometimes a little bit preposterous but overall it was a really heartwarming movie which i'd definitely recommend.
