The movie may be a bit dated by modern standards, even a bit corny, but this overture stands among the greatest heroic themes of cinema history. The brass, strings and woodwinds all complement with fugal imitations, playfully handing off melodies to each other. The timbre vascilates between swashbuckling courage and delicate emotion, breathlessly capturing the selfless spirit of the character. Michael Kamen was an underappreciated genius who deserves a place alongside Horner, Mancini, Bernstein, Hermann and Copland in the pantheon of great film composers.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

Calling something "dated" is a detracting and superficial way of pointing out how long ago it was made, a factor which should not be considered an imperfection. Imagine talking about a movie made in 1991, just to call it "dated" 30 years later. You're essentially saying that it's too indicative of its time period to be good, which is kooky talk. And considering that this film is set centuries ago, talking about it being "dated" is irrelevant.

Miss him, what a great actor.

[@chrisduitsman2918]

He was in good form. Alan Rickman played the Sheriff of Nottingham just perfectly. Just enough wit to make you laugh a little bit, but with enough megalomania to make you hate him.

[@johnprudent3216]

Say what you will about Kostner not doing an accent, but his was one of the most exciting and adventure-filled versions of the story done since Errol Flynn's. It was also great how they gave Robin Hood more historical grounding by bringing in Azeem the Moor and the Crusades. One of the best contributions that helped this movie was the fantastic score by the late Michael Kamen. I'm glad I'm able to listen to it outside of the movie itself for the very first time. You can hear all the beautiful nuances of the love theme, and the power of the heroic theme. So good!

[@annaapple3249]

I agree!!

[@oldfrend]

it was a great movie!!! ...except for costner. movie would've been better served if robin was played by someone who could do an authentic english accent and wasn't so... american! the role was filled with pain, but costner could only scratch the surface of it. he did the dashing hero thing well, but in the quiet moments his robin lacked soul. morgan freeman should've been nominated for best supporting actor for azeem. he did much credit to the idea of the wise, educated muslim in a foreign land. if only costner could've matched his depth.

[@asdfasdf7199]

the accent nonsense is the biggest nothing-burger ever. no one cares. phenomenal performances by freeman and rickman, beautiful cinematography, amazing michael kamen score, gtfo!

[@rino5453]

Despite all the flak this movie received, it is one of the most influential pieces that defined my childhood, especially the soundtrack. I was in my school band at the time and it seemed every school was playing some version of the main theme. Just hearing this after so many years passed, it just brought back so many happy memories.

[@SoundtrackFred]

After countless incarnations the story about Robin Hood had for the big screen, "Prince Of Thieves" (1991), starring Kevin Costner, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Alan Rickman, was a major success at the time and is often quotet as such. It was even the main base for Mel Brooks' "Men In Tights" (1994). Although its storyline is said to have some flaws here and there, the musical score was on point and is surely one of Michael Kamen's greatest (and lush orchestrated) of his entire career. Enjoy!

[@ponticomposer]

True. I especially love the trumpets, of which the recording captures a powerful and direct sound. And the celli, when they "sing", are marvellous.

[@z3fs8]

Spot on sir. The score is stunning and the cinematography and locations make it a masterpiece. Also, Bryan Adam's song is just the icing on the cake 👌🏼

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Its really good. Adventures of Baron Munchausen is my favorite Kamen score and tops Robin Hood imo. Just listen to Vulcan and Venus starting at the 4 minute mark. The whole score is so fantastical.

[@TheBosscoe]

One of my all-time favourite scores. An absolute masterpiece of music.

Costner-Rickman one of the greatests hero-villain couples.

[@timwolfe9769]

I saw this movie when it first came out in 1991 and used it as a teaching aid to my Accounting students at the local Community College and reminded them that this movie correctly historically documents that Robin Hood and His Band of Merry Thieves Did NOT steal from the Rich and give to the Poor as is so often commonly portrayed, BUT that he Recovered the Overpaid Taxes from the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham who had overtaxed the Poor and he returned the taxes as a Tax Refund to the Poor, which is the correct version.

[@carny15]

You used Prince of Thieves for historical accuracy?...🤣🤣🤣 Dont get me wrong, this movie is fun, but there is not even an ounce of historical accuracy.

[@luciancorvus9992]

I voted for Alan Rickman to the MTV "Best Movie Villain". "Lockesly … I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!" "Why a spoon, cousin … why not a dagger or an axe?" "Because it's dull you twit! It'll hurt more!!" And then after murdering his cousin … "Well at least I didn't use a spoon" Gonna really miss you, Alan!

Grew up with this Robin Hood and I still love it today. No clue why it always got hate.

[@SalemGhassanHanna]

It was a marmite film. There were haters, but more than enough lovers and casual fans for it to be one of the top hits of 1991. Heck, that Bryan Adams song alone probably made more money than some entire movies from that year.

The music score is fantastic. I didn't like much the movie but I remembered some good moments mainly for the music. About "Men in tights" I think it was based on the classic version starred by Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland.

[@pgoeds7420]

The bit about an English accent was a clear swipe at Costner.

[@UYTRELLO]

@@pgoeds7420 That only?

[@SoundtrackFred]

Hello there, of course Brooks combined parts from both. The uniform of Hood and his merry men was based on the 1938's version, but the plot, likewise the flight of Hood from over the sea was based on the 1991 one. Some character-looks, too, like the Sheriff of Nottingham. But in the end it doesn't matter. It's a very unique and enjoyable Robin Hood adaptation on its own. :-)

Robin Hood of the Ballads say King was Edward. a Prioress of Kirkly..here we go.. a Prioress is a woman in charge of nuns.. and Kirkly in 1400s England during reign of King Edward means "Church Fields".. later on, that place Kirkly was renamed the Benefice of Lower Wensleydale.. there are 6 churches there that make a face.. Look at St. Marys Church.. just about 350 yards east is Hornby Castle.. Home of the Conyers at one time.. Sir John Conyers Jr was the Robin Hood of the Ballads aka Robin of Redesdale.. just not the first to use name... he was leader of the York Knights.. Sir Robert Hulderne was Robin of Holderness..he was Captain of the York Rebels.. there is only one record of a man using name Friar Tuck in 1417 and 1429.. Sir John Conyers was in mid 20s age when he met Friar Tuck age mid 50s : )
