David McK (3728 KP) rated Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) in Movies

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
1991 | Action, Drama, Romance
The last truly enjoyable Robin Hood movie, mostly because of Alan Rickman's sneering and preening Sheriff of Nottingham ("no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!"), even if Costner can't do an English accent ("This is true English courage", said with a Californian drawl), that it has no understanding of English geography (apparently Nottingham is only a few miles walk from Dover) or that it is darker than you remember (ending with, essentially, an attempted rape scene).

For all that, however, this - at least - attempted to deepen and add some context to the Robin Hood legend - I think this may be the first where Robin returns from the Crusades with as Moorish companion? - and has a killer soundtrack by both Michael Kamen (especially the overture) and Bryan Adams (with *that* song in the end credits).

January carries a hush to it, the kind that settles into your bones and makes space for sorrow, reflection, and stories steeped in magic ❄️✨📖

Sealed with a Curse is a tale of loss, abuse, and courage, as Selene, once cherished companion to six Princes, finds herself enduring cruelty born of grief after a kingdom shatters with the Queen’s death.

With only her swans and the kindness of the kitchens for comfort, Selene’s world begins to change when Conway appears, offering warmth, devotion, and the possibility of something more, even as the Gods stir and a terrible curse seals the Princes’ fate.

As the year turns and hope feels fragile, ask yourself: would you choose mercy, love, or freedom when forgiveness costs everything? 💔✨
