Review:
It feels a lot like a stage production filmed, though I'm sure it's not far removed from that. Despite its age it feels much newer. I can't help but compare it to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). The stories are extremely similar, while the new one has the production values and costumes that lend realism, this one is light-hearted with an extremely charismatic lead. It's a fun movie
Watch it.
