Robin Hood Prince of Thieves Quote: “Well, Robin of Locksley, you’ve got balls of solid rock.” – Little John

Judging Kevin Costner’s “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” requires one simple question: Not “is it a good movie?” but “Is it worse than ‘Willow?” And, thank Alan Rickman, Robin hood is just a bit better. Still, horrible scripting, schizophrenic moods, hammy stunts, bad accents, and a mind-boggling 155 minute run time make “Prince of Thieves” the king of wasted potential.
