Beyond Sherwood Forest (2009 TV Movie)
4/10
B-Fantasy
1 August 2021
It's 1174 England. There are dragons and magic. Malcolm (Julian Sands) is leading a fight against dragons. He finds Alina (Katharine Isabelle), naked and injured. He tries to kill the obviously magically being but her wounds keep healing. He ends up killing his comrade who wanted to save the girl. Maid Marian (Erica Durance) is preparing reluctantly to marry Prince John who is in charge while King Richard is away with the Crusade. Robin Hood (Robin Dunne) and his men are in Sherwood Forest stealing from Prince John. He runs into Maid Marian in the woods.

This is a B-movie fantasy. The production is a little above cable TV movie. The start is functional but there are obvious issues. Malcolm should be blackmailing Alina with some kind of McGuffin. He could be holding a dragon egg hostage. The plot gets too complicated in the second half. While the production is fine, it's not good enough for anything close to theatrical release. There are a few actual actors in this. Julian Sands is always good to play a villain. Depending on expectations, this is almost watchable.
