Beyond Sherwood Forest (2009 TV Movie)
3/10
Not even Richard Greene could have saved it

Okay, so it's an awful script, poor acting, strange scene changes, bad dialog, and mildly amusing special effects, it was still worth the watch, if only to see how badly done a King Richard's subject could be handled. Agree with all former reviews, but I for one am thankful someone thinks Robin should be updated here. (even if it is to poor fantasy). The robbing the rich to give to the poor is not stated much here, but Robin's chivalry towards Marion is refreshing, (no leering sexual innuendos or sexy talk here), and the poor afflicted dragon-lady does her best to suffer through her malady. Julian Sands over acts and looks too remorseful all the time (maybe about his contract?), Robin Dunne is poorly cast as he appears more ready for 21 Jump Street his director already did. There's nothing wrong with poor, bland, baseless, badly written stories.. do better yourself and sell it. We're dealing with a good idea gone bad here, must've been some political/financial reason behind the attempt. Don't care to know. Still besides Erroll Flynn, Richard Greene, and Kevin Costner, what did you expect from a fresh face and story? Good thing we didn't have to pay at a movie house. I enjoyed microwave popcorn and a moment to relax in fantasy and adventure, albeit little of either...
