well what can i say...its awful.
there is no pace,no(half decent) actors(except JLC for her single scene for Lauries demise)and well no plotline.
a failure...and surprisingly better than 3-6 but still atrocious...why they even bothered with this film i will never know...it is even better than the remake of the original which was a surprise.
H2O redeemed the franchise with good performances and fun scenes although there were holes in the plot it was a very good sequel...this should be avoided at all costs.
and to top it all off a '15' certificate to make this the tamest out of the whole franchise.

Really enjoyed this when it was on TV and pleased to see it hadn't dated. It could have been made recently even though it is over 10 years old. Wasn't disappointed and had to buy the next series. Good family entertainment - one of Robson Green's early roles - what has happened to Jerome Flynn though?

The movie is excellent - 5 stars out of 5. The review here is of the Blueray conversion. To me the high definition version - in this case - looks little better than normal DVD. In fact my upscaling DVD performs nearly as well - and before you ask my blueray DVD player and TV are set-up correctly. I guess the problem could be mainly due to this movie having a lot of very dark settings/scenes which don't really lend themselves to a lot of on-screen picture detail. My advice is to save yourself a few pounds and buy the normal DVD instead - at least in this case. The movie itself though - what a visually brilliant and engaging storyline!

----the above statement---lifted wholesale from actual dialogue within the movie itself-----sums up perfectly the overall tone of this lurid but luxuriating, epic opus from RAY HARRYHAUSEN.

Essentially a briskly bludgeoning comic-strip treatment [riddled with dubious 1950s Mc Carthy-style paranoia] the entertainment level never seriously relents, and the whole is a vigorously dynamic, one-off romp, in which RAY'S ingenious skills are utilized to novel, highly unusual effect: ie, the animated attractions are spinning saucers, with not a whiff of a 'standard' articulated model-creature.

I ntruiging use of actual mid-air carnage [in which there MUST have been some real-life casualties] are used as background plates to the animated mayhem, ... Read More:

DVD : Robin Hood [1973]
The Video cover shown is NOT for the animated version described - it is for the film (not animated) version of the Walt Disney film circa 1950? The film was a 'classic' starring Richard Todd, Joan Rice, Peter Finch and Hubert Gregg. I have seen it many times and have the VHS version as shown on your site. I had trouble finding a copy!
