I am watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I watched this when it came out and remember being terrified by the body in the cage at the beginning, which I now see is on screen for maybe five seconds, tops.

Rewatching it now? Wow. Just. Wow. If it weren't for the A-list cast, I'd swear this was made for $5 in Romania for the Syfy Channel. I see why Mel Brooks parodied it. It should be parodied.

I don't think the movie is THAT bad. I admit a little grade school nostalgia bias, though. That Bryan Adams song was what all the 4th graders swooned to that year.

When was the last time you watched it? Cause trust me. It's that bad.

It is not that bad. I saw it not too long ago. It's silly, to be sure, and the attempts at historicity are a bit more frowny-face inducing than necessary to tell the same story, but it's fun. It's not so-bad-it's-great fun, either, it's just kinda goofy adventure-y fun.

Besides which, I saw the Russel Crowe version, and next to that, Kevin Costner's is amazing.
