9/10
After Robin Hood, Before Zorro... There came 👹Dr. Syn!👹
9 December 2022
At first, I thought it was some kind of movie about one of the Batman's villains because the title contains 'Scarecrow'. To my surprise, it turned out that the movie was about dual personality character like Robin Hood. The movie contains three parts and it's been introduced by Walt Disney himself.

It's the story about the man who was a daytime vicar, Dr. Syn but in the night, a hideous smuggler, the Scarecrow. As Dr. Syn, he's the respectable clergyman; on the contrary, the Scarecrow struck terror into traitors and the King's soldiers. He led his men by frightening them but protected them with or without their knowledge, even the ones who betrayed him. The portrayal of the dual personality character was very realistic and there're a lot of thrilling sequence and funny scenes. I'm sure you won't regret watching this mini trilogy about the Scarecrow.

I'll just express my feelings in number and recommend some of my favorite movies. My rating systems are purely based on the overall feeling of the entire movie and just for expressing emotion numerically in a set format.
