This, or Prince of Thieves?


Which of these two 1990s Robin Hood movies do you prefer, and why?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Back when they were new, I have to admit, I preferred Prince of Thieves because of the production values, budget, soundtrack, direction, etc.

But with the perspective of time, I think this is the far superior movie. In the hands of a first-rate director, I think the story could have put it in the first rank of Robin Hood films.

Indeed.

This film is certainly better than the 5.7 on IMDB would indicate, but Prince of Thieves is the more entertaining and enjoyable movie.

Ultimately they are two very different movies, though. One is very Hollywood; the other is very British.

One word:

Costner. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I didn't know this one existed until 30 minutes ago. It's been ages since I saw POT, but this one seems to have better cinematography.
