Alan Benfield Jr (alanbenfieldjr) What an amazing experience to see The Adventures Of Robin Hood 80 years after its original release. How can one explain the longevity of its relevance. Relevant in every department. Acting to start with. Errol Flynn was not considered a great actor, never an Oscar nomination or anything like that. Bette Davis was always frustrated for having to work opposite him rather that Laurence Olivier. But, look at him now, 80 years later - Erroll Flynn' s performance is as fresh today as the day he filmed it. Compare that with Oscar winner Russell Crowe's Robin Hood (2010) - Russell Crowe even had the impertinence of mocking Erroll Flynn's version. This bit of tribia kuind of depressed me after the high of seeing again this Michael Curtiz's masterpiece. Here, everything works. Other than Erroll Flynn - even if when's he is on the screen is difficult to pay attention to anyone else - we do. Mostly because Claude Rains, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone and the rest of the sensational cast. This adventure film will continue to captivate audiences for years, decades, centuries to come.

TheBigSick The film "The Adventures of Robin Hood", a box office hit in 1938, is in fact entertaining and technologically advanced, particularly in the use of Technicolor. Nonetheless, the plot is just easily predictable and formulaic. When you watched the first ten minutes, you could tell the result of the film. In other words, the film is not that successful in dramatic or narrative aspect.

jrich-37411 Although not accurate in history, this is a great film between the rich and the poor. In King Richard's absence, Prince John leads the Normans to begin oppressing the Saxons. Sir Robin of Locksley has no other option but to turn into an outlaw and begins stealing from the rich to give to the poor. This action/adventure movie, like any other, is also a romance. Throughout the whole film, Robin goes after a women he fell in love with, Marian. This great Technicolor movie is by far the best Robin hood film.

lilamendezes12 This film is one of my all-time favorites. When my grandparents were dating in the late 1930s- early 1940s, they saw several of Flynn's films in theaters. This is one they spoke most fondly about seeing. As a result, I have seen it many times. Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland simply have some of the best screen chemistry ever. Robin Hood is definitely the role Errol Flynn was born to play, and here he is at his most handsome, athletic, and charming. Additionally, the supporting cast is just superb. Claude Rains manages to come off as both charming and diabolical at the same time, and Basil Rathbone is also great as Sir Guy. A must-see, especially for members of my family!
