Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

     Today we watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

 I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was obviously about Robin Hood, but it tells a little bit about how he became Robin Hood and how people lived during the time that King Richard III was on the crusade.
     The summary of this movie is Robin of Locksley saves an Arab from a death sentence. The Arab swears to stay with Robin until he repays him. They return to England and go back to Robin's home, Locksley Castle. They returned to find Lord Locksley dead and the only remaining servant of the household, blinded.
     The Arab and Robin are chased off the property into Sherwood forest. They run into some outlaws including but not limited to Will Scarlet and Little John. As Robin leads the outlaws, he takes from the rich and gives to the poor. The Sheriff of Nottingham didn't really enjoy this. He sent team after team of people and soldiers to capture and/or kill the notorious Robin Hood.
     When the whole hideout is ransacked and prisoners are taken, an amount of them is sentenced to be hung on the day of the Sheriff of Nottingham's and Lady Marians wedding. While all of this is taking place in Nottingham, in Sherwood forest Robin Hood is planning.
     Robin HOood manages to save his men but the Sheriff of Nottingham and Lady Marian escape to be married. Marian doesn't want to marry the Sheriff, however, she is forced to do so. Robin Hood goes to stop the marriage but is unable to open the door. He goes around and enters by breaking a window. It is too late, they are already married! Robin Hood fights the Sheriff and ends up killing him and in the very end, King Richard comes back and Lady Marian and Robin Hood got married.
     (sigh) I love happy endings. : )
