Robin Hood steals from the rich to give to the poor and he’s
mighty smug about it. Prince John has raised taxes to a crippling level and the people just can't afford to pay them, so the majority end up in jail. Prince John is only really interested in capturing Robin Hood, however, and he sets a few traps that fail miserably.
Rather than steal the occasional bundle of gold perhaps Robin Hood could’ve done something about Prince John directly, that way all the folk of
Nottingham wouldn’t end up starved and in jail. Just a thought. I’m sure I used
to like this film but today I just thought it was boring.
