Because it's dated. People have a hard time watching movies filmed on older technologies

It's from the same era sas RoboCop, The Princess Bride, and Star Trek II, all Lemmy favorites

It was made then. Doesn't mean it holds up as well.

Look at both the robin hood movies released the same year.

Uma thurmans looks like shite, kevin costners holds up a lot better

If they'd done a version with Uma and Alan Rickman that would have been great.

Are you saying Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was not a good maod marion? Or that Alan Rickman should have played Robin Hood?

Rickmans Sheriff would be a tragedy not to have. But Mary was a better actress for the role in PoT. Uma would have been completely miss cast for that script

Just trying to understand your vision

I liked Uma's Maid Marion and Rickman as the Sheriff.

I can see Rickman playing Robin as a harrassed executive, with Jack Black as an overly imaginative bard who comes up with the laughing and swaggering schtick.

If you want a really off the wall version, try 'Robin And Marion' with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. I particularly enjoyed Connery and Robert Shaw having a rematch after their 'From Russia With Love' fight.
