Everything you've heard about Errol Flynn being one of Hollywood's most charismatic icons hold true, and the brilliant technicolor productions would fool anyone about when this was made; it's timeless because of that. Having watched (and loved) Mel Brooks' "Men in Tights" parody a dozen times prior to watching this made the experience ever more enjoyable; it would make for a very entertaining double bill, as I believe they mutually enhance each other.

Prepare to have your swash well and truly buckled. Outrageously camp in one moment and occasionally genuinely poinient. Characatures a plenty and none the worse for that. Think Flash Gordon crossed with Merlin and you're in the right area. Quick paced with some impressive stunts for the time. Look out for the snippets to which Cosner's Robin paid homage.

The script is really hammy and cheesy but the action is entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It's just when they talk you really want to hit fast forward, some really stupid dialogue. I also give it some points for Claude Rains' hair cut because it looks so hilariously terrible. It has some cool stunts but I can't ever imagine wanting to see this again.

A true classic with Errol Flynn in his best role ever! The spirit of the film and the potrayal of the characters is old Hollywood at it's best.

+ Good: Errol Flynn seems to really enjoy his role, has natural charisma in it, has great one-liners; - Bad: Too cheesy, acting is overdramatic

Robin Hood was often adapted to film, but this one is the best among the ones I've seen. Besides being one of the best adventure movies ever made and be incredibly of the 1938.

a tremendous swashbuckler, filled to the brim with action and beautiful, vibrant, colored sets. a classic story familiar to all, told with errol flynn doing what he does best.

Highly enjoyable. I really liked the wide array of colours in it and it was just generally good fun. "You speak treason", "Fluently".

Not bad. Still can't believe this is over 70 years old! Must have been the shit back then. A bit campy and cheesy so I don't quite love it but I respect it.

Great sets, great costumes (except Robin Hood's), great color, and plenty of swashbuckling adventures! I would have rated it higher but it's not really my sort of movie. Too much camp and the escapades are for a younger (or earlier) generation. I know Robin was dressed as expected, but I found it distrubing to see him prancing through the woods looking like Tinkerbell. All the same, I'll be watching it again for the sets and the costumes!

You have to hand it to Errol Flynn: he knows how to hit another man's sword.

I love to watch a movie like this just to get a feel for the era. Look at the poster, how "technicolor" is written in rainbow letters. Color movies were a big deal in the 30s, and this movie sure as hell knows it. Everyone wears brightly colored clothes, there are lots of sunny outdoor environments, and it's never really dark. Of course, that's just one little aspect of this huge movie, perhaps the definitive Robin Hood film.

The greatest Robin Hood film ever! Flynn never disappoints, and he never lets the bad guys get a leg up on him! Staying unusually faithful to the classic legends of the Sherwood Forest vigilante, this is without a doubt a masterpiece!

Probably the definitive swashbuckler; a wonderfully spirited version of the Robin Hood legend, embellished by charismatic performances from every member of its formidable cast; Rains and De Havilland both especially good and incomporable Flynn is unforgettable in the lead. Staggeringly beautiful technicolour cinematography and a boisterous score are icing on the cake of a truly wonderous film, which hasn't dated or aged a bit.
