Watch Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves film. A film “Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves” director by Kevin Reynolds. Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves is an all-star rehash of one of cinema’s oldest and most popular stories. For me every actor does a reasonable job and Alan Rickman is outstanding as the sheriff of Nottingham, the lack of a credible English accent is not a worry to me and the flexible use of locations is also not a problem. The story is great, the screenplay is wonderful with its lack of self-conciousness. Alan Rickman is brilliant as the hilarious Sherrif of Nottingham (‘Shut up you TWIT!’)It’s great fun, and one of those film to watch with your feet up and a big bar of chocolate. I recommend this film to any one between the ages of 8 years old to 80 years old – you’re gonna love it. Watch free full Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves film online.

[..YouTube..] I love the main theme in this movie
[..YouTube..] I’m sorry, but Kevin Costner is just not an attractive Robin Hood.
[..YouTube..] I really don’t get why people are making such a big deal about Costner keeping his American accent. I would much rather an actor keep his natural accent than badly attempt another one, because then that’s the only thing the audience can focus on. I think he made an excellent Robin Hood. And I never realized how utterly hilarious Alan Rickman was as the sheriff. I re-watched this entire movie last night and he had me howling in all his scenes.
[..YouTube..] Sure, perhaps, but like you said, it’d be difficult for us to understand. Even then, keep in mind that less time passed between the writing of Beowulf (late 8th to early 11th century) and the events of Robin Hood (12th century) as between the plays attributed to Shakespeare (mid 16th to early 17th century) and now. Beowulf is indisputably Old English. I’m not a linguistic historian, so maybe something happened to cause rapid enough evolution for it to be Middle English. But, I can’t say.
[..YouTube..] Wouldn’t there be a chance that it would be Middle English since supposedly the story is set around the time of the Crusades? Granted, it would still be really difficult for most of us to understand them, but if they were speaking Middle English instead of Old English those of us who speak the English of today–regardless of whether we’re Americans, British, Australians, etc.–would pick up a little here and there I think. I’m thinking the original “Canterbury Tales” by Chaucer.
[..YouTube..] We didn’t land on Sherwood Forest!! Sherwood Forest landed on us!!!
[..YouTube..] nicely said.ftr, I have done some research on what the accents would have sounded like, at the time, and all I got was a “not sure”. We can only presume what they would have sounded like, based on the languages they used, but that’s about it. In all likely hood, they would have had some sort of Germanic or Celtic dialect, possibly Old French as well (for the aristocratic Normans)All in all, they wouldn’t have sounded like modern British do
[..YouTube..] Face it people. If you listened to the English language as it was back then, it’d be impossible for you to understand it. Old English sounds nothing like Modern English. When you’re talking about British accents, the accent of the proper King’s English from 250 years ago is only still spoken in one part of the world, on Tangier Island, which is in AMERICA! The British accent has changed so much that it’s irrelevant to complain about historical characters not using accents that didn’t exist yet.
[..YouTube..] miss marple and snape together..now thats something
[..YouTube..] what the hell, no english accent? you can’t have Robin hood without that. bleckk!!!
[..YouTube..] Trying to act like your so intelligent on English accents only casts light on your own historical ignorance. If you would only do a little reading you’d find that Robin Hude the Earl of Huntington, was of the upper echelons of English society & in reality would have spoken a dialect more along the lines of Norman French. This was due to the complete turn over of English Nobility after William the Conquerer had taken over in 1066. The English accent didnt even exist as we know it in his time.
[..YouTube..] This is the best Robin Hood film, its not campy like the old films, its a lot darker, what the middle ages really were about! And it still has that wimsicalness to it aswell.
[..YouTube..] this movie sucked balls, kevin costner was all wrong for this film and the acting and the script was like a fourth grade school production. Morgan Freeman made this film somewhat tolerable.
[..YouTube..] who cares about the accents? In the 13th century english accent was quite probably very different from the brittish accent of today. American accents and brittish accents (because there are many different accents even within Great Britain and USA) are “descendants” of the old one. Who’s to say that the posh BBC accent is the only true “heir” of the 13th century accent? Besides, most of the world won’t watch the film in english, so we don’t give a damn. Greetings from a non english native speaker
[..YouTube..] Redneck Robin Hood ?
[..YouTube..] Next to “Something vexes thee?”
[..YouTube..] “Because it’s dull you twit, it will hurt more!!!” best line in the film imho
[..YouTube..] Christian Slater… <3
[..YouTube..] Worst English Accents. Makes me sick to the stomach.
