Just plain bad

There are some movies that are so bad they're good. I'm thinking Sharknado or anything on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The earnestness and unintentional humor makes these films charming in their own way.

This is not one of those films.

Robin Hood is such a terrible film that it goes well beyond the "so bad it's good" category to "so bad it's still really bad."

The whole film looks as if it were filmed at Renaissance fair. They were clearly operating on a shoestring budget but I've seen high school theater classes with more depth. The Merry Men are just Robin Hood, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, and some extras. No Alan-a-Dale or Much the Miller's Son. Little John doesn't even appear until the last fifteen minutes.

There are also random scenes interspersed throughout the movie that don't make any sense. There's the female warrior and her buddy randomly walking along the forest path, who serve only to be mugged by Robin. Then he fights the black knight to cross a bridge. Don't even get me started on the lady tied to a tree for no discernible reason.

That said, watch this movie with some friends. At least you will all have a good time laughing at it.
