Robin Hood: Because I could not fit the *church* on my horse!

User Reviews

Impressive.

What can I say, other than Robin Hood is really getting into its stride now? It is amazing how far they have moved on since Episode 1. The swordplay, especially towards the end, was neat for a budget of £8 million (yes, it wasn't great, but at least they tried with the fancy swordplay and £8m isn't much in the film industry), there was a sense of mystery and fear in it thanks to the presence of a strange mask (but this is all revealed at the end of the episode) and Robin Hood is starting to become more aware of its links to the Crusades, and Djaq is starting to become one of the key points in this series. The humour at the end is weak, and the underwater filming at the start is dodgy, but Robin Hood is really getting far better now, and is starting to cross from light-hearted drivel to meaningful viewing territory now. I am looking forward to the climax of this series... 9/10
