Storyline: 8, There is so death, and talk of abuse, but Robin Hood is here to stop that. It is a romance, so there is some kissing, but it is the movie that changed me, the most un-romantic doesn't like romances person, into someone who one of their favorite romances EVER is this movie.
Overall Score: 9.5!

I love this version!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It is so lovely!
DeleteJust a delightful movie, all around. Script, acting, scenery, costumes, music -- everything is so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite lines are definitely the repartee between Robin and Marian, especially when she says, "Why, you speak treason!" and he replies, "Fluently." Brilliant comeback there, dear Robin.
Nice review!
Oh yes! Everything falls into place to be a wonderful movie!
DeleteThey have the best lines. My sister thinks it is cheesy, but it is not! Like the lines you said, those definitely aren't cheesy. Robin has the greatest comebacks ever!
Thank you Hamlette!
